1. Microprocesses - A
Generator with Context
Axon is built on top of generators with some added context. Whilst
the most common version of this a user actually uses is called a
component, this is a specialisation of the general concept - a generator
with context.
Exercise: Write a class called
microprocess
(make sure you subclass "object" !) with the following methods:
__init__(self)
- Takes no arguments. (aside from self)
- into this put any initialisation you might need
main(self)
- Takes no arguments. (aside from self)
- This should be a generator that simply yields 1 value - specifically
a 1

Discussion:
Clearly we can create a handful of these now:
Calling their main method results in us being given a generator:
We can then run these generators in the usual way (though these are
fairly boring microprocesses):
OK, so we have a mechanism for adding context to generators, and
we've called that a microprocess. Let's make it simple to set lots of
these running.
