Frequenz Channels is a channels implementation for Python.
According to Wikipedia:
A channel is a model for interprocess communication and synchronization via message passing. A message may be sent over a channel, and another process or thread is able to receive messages sent over a channel it has a reference to, as a stream. Different implementations of channels may be buffered or not, and either synchronous or asynchronous.
Frequenz Channels are mostly designed after Go channels but it also borrows ideas from Rust channels.
The following platforms are officially supported (tested):
- Python: 3.11
- Operating System: Ubuntu Linux 20.04
- Architectures: amd64, arm64
We assume you are on a system with Python available. If that is not the case, please download and install Python first.
To install Frequenz Channels, you probably want to create a new virtual
environment first. For example, if you use a sh compatible shell, you can do
this:
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activateThen, just install using pip:
python3 -m pip install frequenz-channelsFor more information, please visit the documentation website.
