How the event list be sent to EventManager?

[steve]

The example code from: http://sjbrown.ezide.com/games/example1.py.html
....
def Notify( self, event ):
if not isinstance(event, TickEvent): Debug( "
Message: " + event.name )
for listener in self.listeners.keys():
#If the weakref has died, remove it and
continue
#through the list
if listener is None:
del self.listeners[ listener ]
continue
listener.Notify( event )

I can not figure out how 'event' can has reference to 'event.name'?
Anyhow the 'event' has not defined!
The 'event' dynamically get its own type through
isinstance(event,TickEvent):...?

because the developer expects you to pass in an object that has a name
attribute ? (one of the Event types defined at the top of that module,
most likely).

Anyhow the 'event' has not defined!

it's an argument to the method.

The 'event' dynamically get its own type through
isinstance(event,TickEvent):...?

no, that line simply checks if it's a specific Event type, and enables
debug logging for all other event types.

Can an argument to reference an object's attribute??

sorry, cannot parse that sentence.

the arguments to a method are objects, and objects have attributes. why
do you find this surprising?

Thank you,Fredrik,I see.
