Interactive launcher
====================

.. versionadded:: 1.3.0

The :class:`InteractiveLauncher` provides a user-friendly python shell interface
to an :class:`App` so that it can be prototyped and debugged interactively.

.. note::

    The Kivy API intends for some functions to only be run once or before the
    main EventLoop has started.  Methods that can normally be called during the
    course of an application will work as intended, but specifically overriding
    methods such as :meth:`on_touch` dynamically leads to trouble.

Creating an InteractiveLauncher
-------------------------------

Take you existing subclass of :class:`App` (this can be production code) and
pass an instance to the :class:`InteractiveLauncher` constructor.::

    from kivy.interactive import InteractiveLauncher
    from kivy.app import App
    from kivy.uix.button import Button

    class MyApp(App):
        def build(self):
            return Button(test='Hello Shell')

    interactiveLauncher = InteractiveLauncher(MyApp()).run()

The script will return, allowing an interpreter shell to continue running and
inspection or modification of the :class:`App` can be done safely through the
InteractiveLauncher instance or the provided SafeMembrane class instances.

Interactive Development
-----------------------

IPython provides a fast way to learn the kivy API.  The :class:`App` instance
itself, all of it's attributes, including methods and the entire widget tree,
can be quickly listed by using the '.' operator and pressing 'tab.'  Try this
code in an Ipython shell.::

    from kivy.interactive import InteractiveLauncher
    from kivy.app import App
    from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
    from kivy.graphics import Color, Ellipse

    class MyPaintWidget(Widget):
        def on_touch_down(self, touch):
            with self.canvas:
                Color(1, 1, 0)
                d = 30.
                Ellipse(pos=(touch.x - d/2, touch.y - d/2), size=(d, d))


    class TestApp(App):
        def build(self):
            return Widget()


    i = InteractiveLauncher(TestApp())
    i.run()
    i.       # press 'tab' to list attributes of the app
    i.root.  # press 'tab' to list attributes of the root widget

    # App is boring.  Attach a new widget!
    i.root.add_widget(MyPaintWidget())

    i.safeIn()
    # The application is now blocked.
    # Click on the screen several times.
    i.safeOut()
    # The clicks will show up now

    # Erase artwork and start over
    i.root.canvas.clear()

.. note::

    All of the proxies used in the module store their referent in the
    :attr:`_ref` attribute, which can be accessed directly if needed, such as
    for getting doc strings.  :func:`help` and :func:`type` will access the
    proxy, not its referent.

Directly Pausing the Application
--------------------------------

Both :class:`InteractiveLauncher` and :class:`SafeMembrane` hold internal
references to :class:`EventLoop`'s 'safe' and 'confirmed'
:class:`threading.Event`  objects.  You can use their safing methods to control
the application manually.

:meth:`Interactive.safeIn()` will cause the applicaiton to pause and
 :meth:`InteractiveLauncher.safeOut()` will allow a paused application
to continue running.  This is potentially useful for scripting actions into
 functions that need the screen to update etc.

.. note::

    The pausing is implemented via :meth:`kivy.clock.Clock.schedule_once` and
    occurs before the start of each frame.

Adding Attributes Dynamically
-----------------------------

.. note::

    This module uses threading and object proxies to encapsulate the running
    :class:`App`.  Deadlocks and memory corruption can occur if making direct
    references inside the thread without going through the provided proxy(s).

The :class:`InteractiveLauncher` can have attributes added to it exactly like a
normal object, and if these were created from outside the membrane, they will
not be threadsafe because the external references to them in the python
interpreter do not go through InteractiveLauncher's membrane behavior, inherited
from SafeMembrane.

To threadsafe these external referencess, simply assign them to SafeMembrane
instances of themselves like so::

    from kivy.interactive import SafeMembrane

    interactiveLauncher.attribute = myNewObject
    # myNewObject is unsafe
    myNewObject = SafeMembrane(myNewObject)
    # myNewObject is now safe.  Call at will.
    myNewObject.method()

TODO
====

Unit tests, an example, and more understanding of which methods are safe in a
running application would be nice.  All three would be excellent.

Could be re-written with a context-manager style, ie::

    with safe:
        foo()

Any use cases besides compacting code?
