15.3.5 Event Objects

This is one of the simplest mechanisms for communication between threads: one thread signals an event and other threads wait for it.

An event object manages an internal flag that can be set to true with the `set()` method and reset to false with the `clear()` method. The `wait()` method blocks until the flag is true.

class `Event`( | )

  The internal flag is initially false.

`isSet`( | )

  Return true if and only if the internal flag is true.

`set`( | )

  Set the internal flag to true. All threads waiting for it to become true are awakened. Threads that call `wait()` once the flag is true will not block at all.

`clear`( | )

  Reset the internal flag to false. Subsequently, threads calling `wait()` will block until `set()` is called to set the internal flag to true again.

`wait`( | [timeout])

  Block until the internal flag is true. If the internal flag is true on entry, return immediately. Otherwise, block until another thread calls `set()` to set the flag to true, or until the optional timeout occurs.

  When the timeout argument is present and not `None`, it should be a floating point number specifying a timeout for the operation in seconds (or fractions thereof).
