whistle.dispatchers.synchronous

class EventDispatcher

Bases: AbstractEventDispatcher

Main class of the library, it is responsible for keeping track of registered listeners, and dispatching events to them. All listeners are scoped to the event dispatcher instance, so you can have multiple event dispatchers with different sets of listeners.

• listener (Callable[[IEvent], Any | Coroutine])

• priority (int)
