The kabaret framework is a modular system that will help you create standalone or embedded applications.
When building a application, you will start by creating a
kabaret.app.session.KabaretSession (or more likely, one
of its subclasses).
A Session contains some Actors that each provide specific functionnalities and commands to use them.
A Session containts some Views that use the commands to display and modify the informations managed by Actors.
A Session manages the communication between other sessions on the network, deals with UI (events, layouts, …) and logging.
Frameword devellopers can extend kabaret by providing new Actors and/or Views. When a User wants to use an extension, he must subclass a Session to register the additionnal Actors / Views.
Once you session is properly configured, you can use one or more instances of it in a single python interpretor. But you can’t share sessions between threads.
You can define multiple session types: a standalone GUI for User, another for administration, a headless one acting as a worker waiting for orders, …
