Question about Message Bus Source Code

Asked by jdm100

I read through the message_bus.py source code and just wanted to know how you are determining the __MAX_NUMBER_OF_MESSAGE_TYPES.
Based on some of the other code, It seems as though it is the constants you have defined in the MessageTypes class.
If so:
__MAX_NUMBER_OF_MESSAGE_TYPES = len([k for k,v in vars(MessageType).items() if type(v) is int])
works, although it does not seem like good code to me(I'm new to python, maybe thats why).

Also, is there some sort of forum that is specific for discussing development. What you have done so far is very nice and I would like to contribute.

Thanks! This worked great and gives a little performance boost to messagebus. This isn't probably the most beautiful solution, but it works and with some comments it's good enough.

At the moment there is no forum, but I'm thinking about setting one up.

jdm100,

Since Lauri responded to your question, some "infrastructure" has been set up to help developers contribute. The two best ways to get involved with Entertainer are to get in touch with the developers on IRC at irc.freenode.net in the #entertainer channel. Or subscribe to the development email list at <entertainer-dev (at) lists (dot) ironlionsoftware (dot) com>. We also use launchpad heavily to track bugs and branches (using bazaar).

Thanks for your interest in Entertainer.

Can you help with this problem?
