1. 背景
Cyber 核心代码是由 C++ 开发，同时为了方便开发者，提供了 Python 接口。
2. CyberRT Python 接口实现思路
Cyber Python 接口的实现思路是在 Cyber C++ 实现的基础上，做了一层 Python 的封装，由 Python 来调用 C++ 的实现函数。Cyber Python Wrapper 的实现没有使用 swig 等第三方工具，完全自主实现，以此保证代码的高可维护性和可读性。
3. 主要接口
目前提供的主要接口包括：
- channel 读、写
- server/client 通信
- record 信息查询
- record 文件读、写
- Time/Duration/Rate 时间操作
- Timer
3.1 Channel 读写接口
使用步骤是：
- 首先创建 Node;
- 创建对应的 reader 或 writer；
- 如果是向 channel 写数据，调用 writer 的 write 接口；
- 如果是从 channel 读数据，调用 node 的 spin，对收到的消息进行消费；
接口定义如下：
class Node:
"""
Class for cyber Node wrapper.
"""
def create_writer(self, name, data_type, qos_depth=1):
"""
create a topic writer for send message to topic.
@param self
@param name str: topic name
@param data_type proto: message class for serialization
"""
def create_reader(self, name, data_type, callback, args=None):
"""
create a topic reader for receive message from topic.
@param self
@param name str: topic name
@param data_type proto: message class for serialization
@callback fn: function to call (fn(data)) when data is
received. If args is set, the function must
accept the args as a second argument,
i.e. fn(data, args)
@args any: additional arguments to pass to the callback
"""
def create_client(self, name, request_data_type, response_data_type):
"""
"""
def create_service(self, name, req_data_type, res_data_type, callback, args=None):
def spin(self):
"""
spin in wait and process message.
@param self
"""
class Writer(object):
"""
Class for cyber writer wrapper.
"""
def write(self, data):
"""
writer msg string
"""
3.2 Record 接口
Record 读的操作是：
- 创建一个 RecordReader;
- 对 Record 进行迭代读；
Record 写的操作是：
- 创建一个 RecordWriter
- 对 Record 进行写消息；
接口定义如下：
class RecordReader(object):
"""
Class for cyber RecordReader wrapper.
"""
def read_messages(self, start_time=0, end_time=18446744073709551615):
"""
read message from bag file.
@param self
@param start_time:
@param end_time:
@return: generator of (message, data_type, timestamp)
"""
def get_messagenumber(self, channel_name):
"""
return message count.
"""
def get_messagetype(self, channel_name):
"""
return message type.
"""
def get_protodesc(self, channel_name):
"""
return message protodesc.
"""
def get_headerstring(self):
"""
return message header string.
"""
def reset(self):
"""
return reset.
"""
return _CYBER_RECORD.PyRecordReader_Reset(self.record_reader)
def get_channellist(self):
"""
return channel list.
"""
return _CYBER_RECORD.PyRecordReader_GetChannelList(self.record_reader)
class RecordWriter(object):
"""
Class for cyber RecordWriter wrapper.
"""
def open(self, path):
"""
open record file for write.
"""
def write_channel(self, channel_name, type_name, proto_desc):
"""
writer channel by channelname,typename,protodesc
"""
def write_message(self, channel_name, data, time, raw = True):
"""
writer msg:channelname,data,time,is data raw
"""
def set_size_fileseg(self, size_kilobytes):
"""
return filesegment size.
"""
def set_intervaltime_fileseg(self, time_sec):
"""
return file interval time.
"""
def get_messagenumber(self, channel_name):
"""
return message count.
"""
def get_messagetype(self, channel_name):
"""
return message type.
"""
def get_protodesc(self, channel_name):
"""
return message protodesc.
"""
3.3 Time 接口
class Timer(object):
def set_option(self, period, callback, oneshot=0):
'''
period The period of the timer, unit is ms
callback The tasks that the timer needs to perform
oneshot 1: perform the callback only after the first timing cycle
0:perform the callback every timed period
'''
def start(self):
def stop(self):
