        ==========
        
        A small python lib for treating strings as fifos with callback-based
        pattern matching
        
        (c) 2011 manu chatterjee deftio (at) deftio.com
        
        fifostr (First In First Out String) is a small python library originally
        used for combining deque with pattern-trigger operations for an embedded
        terminal program. It allows pieces of a string to be treated in a
        mutable way with operations that you would expect from a bi-directional
        list such as insertion at either end and adding/removing N chars from
        either end.
        
        fifostr has built-in pattern matching and triggering. Simply add /
        remove patterns which can call a user supplied function (E.g. if the
        pattern is "seen" then trigger the function). Patterns can be strings,
        regexes or user-supplied-functions. A pattern consists of:
        
        -  pattern: string *or* compiled regex *or*
           user-supplied-parser-function
        -  label: user supplied 'name' for this pattern
        -  start index : position in fifostr to begin pattern match. default is
           0 (also accepts the character '^' as start anchor for those familiar
           with regexes)
        -  stop index : position in fifostr to end pattern match. default is end
           of fifostr. the letter '$' has special meaning as end of string no
           matter the length (again regex)
        -  callback\_fn : called if pattern is found, fifostr(start:end) and the
           label are passed to the callback function
           (callback('thematchingstring','label'))
        -  active : default is True, sets whether this pattern should be
           actively looked for
        
        Originally a lighter version of this was used in a python serial
        terminal program dioterm (which allowed the serial terminal to parse
        commands sent/received by both sides).
        
        And finally .. I just wanted to get some practice on python module
        packaging ...

        Installation
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ``pip install fifostr # or just pull fifostr.py from the source repository and put in your source path``
        
        Original Usage
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Originally part of a terminal program called 'dioterm' (albeit in much
        more compact form), this library was used used to 'listen' to traffic in
        either direction on a serial port. When certain patterns were found such
        as a command sent from the host or a special piece of data from the
        embedded microntroller client, fifostr would trigger a callback to do
        something. This was very useful when sequences of commands had to be set
        up between the host and client. Many of these sequences where
        conditional based on what either the host or client sent resulting in
        many variations of sequence-test cases, especially if this results in
        the host then having to make some other call to an unrelated process or
        hardware to reply correctly.
        
        Functionality
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        FIFOStr is a string which is (derived from deque) with these properties:
        
        -  add/remove chars or strings at either end
        -  mutable (can set a char to any value like an array with [])
        -  use slices, lists, or tuples to retrieve members (just like a real
           str object)
        -  get head/tail (returns as a str)
        -  match head/tail --> match a supplied string to either the head or
           tail
        -  use patterns to trigger callbacks --> pattern can be string \| regex
           \| user\ *supplied*\ parser any of which triggers user supplied
           callback\_fn
        
           -  all patterns can look at either the whole fifostr or any subset
              e.g. addPattern("foo",myCallback,2,5,"bar")
              ::
        
                  --> only looks for "foo" between positions 2 and 5 in the fifostr and will call myCallback with ("foo","bar")  if found
        
           -  all patterns have optional label which can be used for logging
              purposes (eg. when pattern found, in addition to callback, emit
              label)
           -  user supplied callback\_fn is called with both the string-match
              section and the label
           -  patterns can be added/deleted from the list of patterns "watching"
              the fifostr content
           -  all (active) patterns are always matched. fifostr matches multiple
              different patterns over the same string.
        
        -  clear all patterns --> removes patterns from processing
        -  get/setPattern Active/Inactive --> allows a stored pattern to set on
           or off
        -  Python 2.7+, Python 3+ support with no mods

            myFifoStr+='1234567' #adds 1234567 to fifostr ... but len of fifostr is 5
                                 # so only 34567 is retained
        
            print "myFifoStr.head(3)= ",myFifoStr.head(3) #shows 345
            print "myFifoStr.tail(4)= ",myFifoStr.tail(4) #shows 4567

            #more generally we can add (and remove) patterns which will scan and trigger a call back everytime the fifostr 
            #internal content changes (whether adding or deleting chars from either end or even rotating/reversing the fifstr object)

            #now show searching for stored pattern matchers in the pattern dict
            #this is not searching the fifo-string itself, just the stored patterns that we have entered

        Notes
        ~~~~~
        
        Absolutley *no* warranties on performance. This is not replacement for a
        compiler/parser front end! It just iterates over stored patterns every
        time something is added to the
        fifostr object. If you do have a parser you wish to be called then just
        add it as a function so that every time the fifostr is updated with a
        char it will call your parser to do the work. Your parser must return a
        boolean result if you wish to use the callback based triggering.
        
        \`\`\`
        
        let your own parser do the work
        ===============================
        
        ::
        
            myFifo = fifostr(20)  # make a 20 char fifostr
            myFifo.addPattern(myParser,myCallbk) #myParser passed entire fifostr (as str) when char(s) added
            myFifo.addPattern(myParser,myCallbk2,3,5) #myParser passed fifostr btw (3,5).  My Parser must return True if match found for callback to be invoked

        -  1.1.5 coverage to 100%, added badging, added README.rst
        -  1.1.x changed class name from fifostr to FIFOStr to make PEP8

        -  1.0.0 Initial release
        
        Docs
        ~~~~
        
        documentation is in /docs directory (generated by pydoc)
        to (re)generate the docs. cd to the docs directory. then type:
        ``pydoc -w ../fifostr.py``
        note that as of this writing pydoc generates its output in the current
        directory and doesn't seem to be pipeable to another.
        
        README.md vs README.rst
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        The README.rst is generated from the README.md using pandoc but the
        content is identical. This has to do with uneven support of markdown vs
        ReStructured Text on github vs PyPi.
