"""Multiple-producer-multiple-consumer signal-dispatching

dispatcher is the core of the PyDispatcher system,
providing the primary API and the core logic for the
system.

Module attributes of note:

    Any -- Singleton used to signal either "Any Sender" or
        "Any Signal".  See documentation of the _Any class.
    Anonymous -- Singleton used to signal "Anonymous Sender"
        See documentation of the _Anonymous class.

Internal attributes:
    WEAKREF_TYPES -- tuple of types/classes which represent
        weak references to receivers, and thus must be de-
        referenced on retrieval to retrieve the callable
        object
    connections -- { senderkey (id) : { signal : [receivers...]}}
    senders -- { senderkey (id) : weakref(sender) }
        used for cleaning up sender references on sender
        deletion
    sendersBack -- { receiverkey (id) : [senderkey (id)...] }
        used for cleaning up receiver references on receiver
        deletion, (considerably speeds up the cleanup process
        vs. the original code.)

    receiver -- a callable Python object which is to receive
        messages/signals/events.  Receivers must be hashable
        objects.

        if weak is True, then receiver must be weak-referencable
        (more precisely saferef.safeRef() must be able to create
        a reference to the receiver).
    
        Receivers are fairly flexible in their specification,
        as the machinery in the robustApply module takes care
        of most of the details regarding figuring out appropriate
        subsets of the sent arguments to apply to a given
        receiver.

        Note:
            if receiver is itself a weak reference (a callable),
            it will be de-referenced by the system's machinery,
            so *generally* weak references are not suitable as
            receivers, though some use might be found for the
            facility whereby a higher-level library passes in
            pre-weakrefed receiver references.

    signal -- the signal to which the receiver should respond
    
        if Any, receiver will receive any signal from the
        indicated sender (which might also be Any, but is not
        necessarily Any).
        
        Otherwise must be a hashable Python object other than
        None (DispatcherError raised on None).
        
    sender -- the sender to which the receiver should respond
    
        if Any, receiver will receive the indicated signals
        from any sender.
        
        if Anonymous, receiver will only receive indicated
        signals from send/sendExact which do not specify a
        sender, or specify Anonymous explicitly as the sender.

        Otherwise can be any python object.
