Description
I have a Buffer and I want to change its text without any on_text_changed events being fired. Is this currently possible without too much hacking?
I've tried adding this simple context manager to the Event class and it seems to work well. Should I make a PR?
@property
def handlers_disabled(self):
"""
Context manager that disables all event handlers in its `with` block
"""
class contextmanager:
def __enter__(self, event=self):
self._handlers = event._handlers
event._handlers = []
def __exit__(self, *exc_, event=self):
event._handlers = self._handlers
return contextmanager()
BTW: This is an awesome project. It's one of those things I never knew I badly needed.
