Dirt Simple Events

A Dispatcher (or a subclass of Dispatcher) stores event handlers that
are 'fired' simple event objects when interesting things happen.

Create a dispatcher:

  >>> d = Dispatcher()

Now create a handler for the event and subscribe it to the dispatcher
to handle Event events.  A handler is a simple function or method that
accepts the event as an argument:

  >>> def handler1(event): print(repr(event))
  >>> d.subscribe(Event, handler1)

Now dispatch a new event into the dispatcher, and see handler1 get
fired:

  >>> d.dispatch(Event(foo='bar', data='yours', used_by='the event handlers'))
  <rdflib.events.Event ['data', 'foo', 'used_by']>

    An event is a container for attributes.  The source of an event
    creates this object, or a subclass, gives it any kind of data that
    the events handlers need to handle the event, and then calls
    notify(event).

    The target of an event registers a function to handle the event it
    is interested with subscribe().  When a sources calls
    notify(event), each subscriber to that even will be called i no
    particular order.
