aea.agent_loop

This module contains the implementation of an agent loop using asyncio.

AgentLoopException Objects

class AgentLoopException(AEAException)

Exception for agent loop runtime errors.

AgentLoopStates Objects

class AgentLoopStates(Enum)

Internal agent loop states.

BaseAgentLoop Objects

class BaseAgentLoop(Runnable,  WithLogger,  ABC)

Base abstract agent loop class.

__init__

 | __init__(agent: AbstractAgent, loop: Optional[AbstractEventLoop] = None, threaded: bool = False) -> None

Init loop.

Arguments:

  • agent: Agent or AEA to run.
  • loop: optional asyncio event loop. if not specified a new loop will be created.
  • threaded: if True, run in threaded mode, else async

agent

 | @property
 | agent() -> AbstractAgent

Get agent.

state

 | @property
 | state() -> AgentLoopStates

Get current main loop state.

wait_state

 | async wait_state(state_or_states: Union[Any, Sequence[Any]]) -> Tuple[Any, Any]

Wait state to be set.

Arguments:

  • state_or_states: state or list of states.

Returns:

tuple of previous state and new state.

is_running

 | @property
 | is_running() -> bool

Get running state of the loop.

set_loop

 | set_loop(loop: AbstractEventLoop) -> None

Set event loop and all event loop related objects.

run

 | async run() -> None

Run agent loop.

send_to_skill

 | @abstractmethod
 | send_to_skill(message_or_envelope: Union[Message, Envelope], context: Optional[EnvelopeContext] = None) -> None

Send message or envelope to another skill.

If message passed it will be wrapped into envelope with optional envelope context.

Arguments:

  • message_or_envelope: envelope to send to another skill.
  • context: envelope context

skill2skill_queue

 | @property
 | @abstractmethod
 | skill2skill_queue() -> Queue

Get skill to skill message queue.

AsyncAgentLoop Objects

class AsyncAgentLoop(BaseAgentLoop)

Asyncio based agent loop suitable only for AEA.

__init__

 | __init__(agent: AbstractAgent, loop: AbstractEventLoop = None, threaded: bool = False) -> None

Init agent loop.

Arguments:

  • agent: AEA instance
  • loop: asyncio loop to use. optional
  • threaded: is a new thread to be started for the agent loop

skill2skill_queue

 | @property
 | skill2skill_queue() -> Queue

Get skill to skill message queue.

send_to_skill

 | send_to_skill(message_or_envelope: Union[Message, Envelope], context: Optional[EnvelopeContext] = None) -> None

Send message or envelope to another skill.

If message passed it will be wrapped into envelope with optional envelope context.

Arguments:

  • message_or_envelope: envelope to send to another skill.
  • context: envelope context
