import Queue
# A queue to be used for communicating information from a spoke back to its
# hub. This information includes things like marking spokes as ready and
# updating the status line to tell the user why a spoke is not yet available.
# This queue should have elements of the following format pushed into it:
#
# (HUB_CODE_*, [arguments])
#
# Arguments vary based on the code given, but the first argument must always
# be the name of the class of the spoke to be acted upon. See below for more
# details.
hubQ = Queue.Queue()
# Arguments:
#
# _READY - [spoke_name, justUpdate]
# _NOT_READY - [spoke_name]
# _MESSAGE - [spoke_name, string]
HUB_CODE_READY = 0
HUB_CODE_NOT_READY = 1
HUB_CODE_MESSAGE = 2
# Convenience methods to put things into the queue without the user having to
# know the details of the queue.
