asyncio cross-thread pinger.
This module provides a way for a background thread to request that
the main thread execute a (fixed, parameterless) callback.

Receiver for pings.
Whenever a ping is received from a linked Pinger, the receiver
calls the given fixed parameterless callable.
The ping receiver must be connected (using the ``connect``) method
before use, and should call ``disconnect`` when it's no longer
expected to receive pings.
Parameters
----------
on_ping
Zero-argument callable that's called on the main thread
every time a ping is received.
event_loop : asyncio.AbstractEventLoop
The asyncio event loop that pings will be sent to.

Create and return a new pinger linked to this pingee.
This method is thread-safe. Typically the pingee will be passed to
a background thread, and this method used within that background thread
to create a pinger.
This method should only be called after the 'connect' method has
been called.
Returns
-------
pinger : Pinger
New pinger, linked to this pingee.

Ping emitter, which can send pings to a receiver in a thread-safe manner.
Parameters
----------
pingee : Pingee
The target receiver for the pings. The receiver must already be
connected.
