Python - event programming example

# Python doesn't have a standard 'only' way
# of doing events.  You can create your own
# pythonic events like so.
#

# In the example you'll notice that the Musician
# handles all the recieved events.  You could
# have just as easily created specific event
# handlers for the reacting classes.  Whatever

# makes sense for your application is good.
# Python is flexible!
#
# This would be a way that
# python could implement events or delegates.
