Returns

• sender (MessageSender) – Object to be passed to the background task to send messages.

• receiver (MessageReceiver) – Object to be kept in the foreground which reacts to messages.

class traits_futures.qt.message_router.MessageSender(connection_id, signallee, message_queue)

Bases: object

Object allowing the worker to send messages.

This class will be instantiated in the main thread, but passed to the worker thread to allow the worker to communicate back to the main thread.

Only the worker thread should use the send method, and only inside a “with sender:” block.

send(message)

Send a message to the router.
