These scripts demonstrate four message queue notification techniques. All of demos ask you to enter a message. That message is then sent to the queue and received in a notification handler and printed to stdout. - one_shot_signal.py and one_shot_thread.py receive their notifications via a signal and thread, respectively. After one message & notification, the demo exits. - repeating_signal.py and repeating_thread.py are similar, except that they re-register for notifications in their notification handler so you can enter as many messages as you like.
