### `defer` | ||
|
||
There are two designed ways to use `defer`. You may use either of them, or mix them up. | ||
|
||
#### Sugarful | ||
One is to use `defer` as a syntactic sugar in the form of `defer and ...`. Example: | ||
|
||
```python | ||
>>> from deferrer import defer | ||
|
||
>>> def f(): | ||
... defer and print(0) | ||
... defer and print(1) | ||
... print(2) | ||
... defer and print(3) | ||
... defer and print(4) | ||
... defer and print("deferred") | ||
... print("normal") | ||
|
||
>>> import sys | ||
>>> if sys.version_info < (3, 12): | ||
... from deferrer import defer_scope | ||
... f = defer_scope(f) | ||
|
||
>>> f() | ||
2 | ||
4 | ||
3 | ||
1 | ||
0 | ||
normal | ||
deferred | ||
|
||
``` | ||
|
||
#### Sugarless | ||
The other is to use `defer` as a function wrapper. Example: | ||
|
||
```python | ||
>>> from deferrer import defer | ||
|
||
>>> def f(): | ||
... defer(print)(0) | ||
... defer(print)(1) | ||
... print(2) | ||
... defer(print)(3) | ||
... defer(print)(4) | ||
... defer(print)("deferred") | ||
... print("normal") | ||
|
||
>>> import sys | ||
>>> if sys.version_info < (3, 12): | ||
... from deferrer import defer_scope | ||
... f = defer_scope(f) | ||
|
||
>>> f() | ||
2 | ||
4 | ||
3 | ||
1 | ||
0 | ||
normal | ||
deferred | ||
|
||
``` | ||
|
||
Note that when the deferred function can be invoke with no arguments, it is no necessary to call it a second time, so that `defer` can be used as a decorator. Example: | ||
|
||
```python | ||
>>> from deferrer import defer | ||
|
||
>>> def f(): | ||
... @defer | ||
... def _(): | ||
... print("deferred") | ||
... | ||
... print("normal") | ||
|
||
>>> import sys | ||
>>> if sys.version_info < (3, 12): | ||
... from deferrer import defer_scope | ||
... f = defer_scope(f) | ||
|
||
>>> f() | ||
normal | ||
deferred | ||
|
||
``` | ||
|
||
### `defer_scope` | ||
|
||
You can use `defer_scope` to declare a code range that deferred actions should be gathered in and executed after. | ||
|
||
It's not rare that you may want to defer some actions in a loop and get them executed at the end of each cycle. But unlike some other languages, loops in Python don't create new scopes, which makes it inconvenient to use `defer` in them. `defer_scope` can be used to wrap an iterable to gather deferred actions in each iteration and execute them at the end of the iteration. | ||
|
||
Example: | ||
|
||
```python | ||
>>> from deferrer import defer, defer_scope | ||
|
||
>>> def f(): | ||
... for i in defer_scope(range(3)): | ||
... defer and print("deferred", i) | ||
... print("normal", i) | ||
|
||
>>> f() | ||
normal 0 | ||
deferred 0 | ||
normal 1 | ||
deferred 1 | ||
normal 2 | ||
deferred 2 | ||
|
||
``` | ||
|
||
Sometimes, you may want to use `defer` outside of a function. `defer_scope` can be used as a context manager to gather deferred actions when it's entered and execute them when it's exited. | ||
|
||
Example: | ||
|
||
```python | ||
>>> from deferrer import defer, defer_scope | ||
|
||
>>> with defer_scope(): | ||
... # Note that `defer and ...` itself is an expression, and | ||
... # its value (i.e. the `defer` object) may get printed by | ||
... # some interpretters. | ||
... # Use an assignment to suppress the printing behavior. | ||
... _ = defer and print("deferred") | ||
... print("normal") | ||
normal | ||
deferred | ||
|
||
``` | ||
|
||
Also, `defer_scope` can be used to wrap a function to help `defer` to work properly in Python 3.11. Note that `locals()` in Python 3.11 returns a copy of the local scope, which makes it impossible for `defer` to inject deferred actions into the real local scope, so without a `defer_scope`, deferred actions will be executed immediately after they are evaluated. | ||
|
||
## Known Limitations | ||
|
||
- `deferrer` has only been tested on CPython. It may not work on other Python implementations. | ||
- `defer` must not be used together with `await`. Code like `defer and await ...` is syntactically acceptable but will cause segmentetation fault without being detected beforehand. |
