        FIFOStr - A string python library with a streaming pattern parser and mutability support.  FIFOstr allows character(s) to be inserted on either side of a str-like object which then trigger callbacks based on regexes, strings, or customer parser functions.  Also features mutable string support (more on this below).
        
        e.g. 
        ```
        from fifostr import FIFOStr
        
        myString = FIFOStr("this is a test")
        myString.head(4) == "this"  #true
        
        myString+= " more"
        
        myString.head(4) == "is a"  #true because the string is also a FIFO and keeps fixed length.  Look at example below for more on pattern matching (and multiple pattern matching for more details)
        
        ```
        
        Originally a lighter version of this was used in a python serial terminal program (which allowed the serial terminal to parse commands sent/received by both sides).  
        
        ## Pattern Triggering Features 
        
        Built-in pattern matching and triggering:  simply add / remove patterns which then call a callback function (E.g. if the pattern is "seen" then trigger the function).  Patterns can be strings, regexes or user-supplied-functions (parsers written in python). A pattern consists of:  
          * pattern: string *or* compiled regex *or* user-supplied-parser-function  
          * label: user supplied 'name' for this pattern  
          * start index : position in fifostr to begin pattern match.  default is 0  (also accepts the character '^' as start anchor for those familiar with regexes)
          * stop index : position in fifostr to end pattern match.  default is end of fifostr.  the letter '$' has special meaning as end of string no matter the length  (again regex)
          * callback_fn : called if pattern is found, fifostr(start:end) and the label are passed to the callback function  (callback('thematchingstring','label'))
          * active : default is True, sets whether this pattern should be actively looked for  
          * mutable string support for changing the contents middle position characters to look at callback responses.
        
        
        ### Installation
        ```
        pip install fifostr # or just pull fifostr.py from the source repository and put in your source path  
        ```
        
        ### Original Usage
        
        Originally part of a terminal program called 'dioterm' (albeit in much more compact form), this library was used used to 'listen' to traffic in either direction on a serial port.  When certain patterns were found such as a command sent from the host or a special piece of data from the embedded microntroller client, fifostr would trigger a callback to do something.  This was very useful when sequences of commands had to be set up between the host and client.  Many of these sequences where conditional based on what either the host or client sent resulting in many variations of sequence-test cases, especially if this results in the host then having to make some other call to an unrelated process or hardware to reply correctly.
        
        
        ### Functionality   
        FIFOStr is a string which is (derived from deque) with these properties:  
          * add/remove chars or strings at either end   
          * mutable (can set a char to any value like an array with [])
          * use slices, lists, or tuples to retrieve members (just like a real str object)   
          * get head/tail (returns as a str)  
          * match head/tail  --> match a supplied string to either the head or tail  
          * use patterns to trigger callbacks  --> pattern can be string | regex | user_supplied_parser any of which triggers user supplied callback_fn  
            * all patterns can look at either the whole fifostr or any subset e.g. addPattern("foo",myCallback,2,5,"bar") 
                --> only looks for "foo" between positions 2 and 5 in the fifostr and will call myCallback with ("foo","bar")  if found
            * all patterns have optional label which can be used for logging purposes (eg. when pattern found, in addition to callback, emit label)  
            * user supplied callback_fn is called with both the string-match section and the label  
            * patterns can be added/deleted from the list of patterns "watching" the fifostr content
            * all (active) patterns are always matched.  fifostr matches multiple different patterns over the same string.  
          * clear all patterns --> removes patterns from processing  
          * get/setPattern Active/Inactive  --> allows a stored pattern to set on or off  
          * Python 2.7+, Python 3+ support with no mods, no dependancies  
          * 100% test coverage in both 2.7 and 3.x 
        
        ### Usage example   
        
        See example.py to run in tests dir -- same examples as here but more comments, more use cases  
        
        ```python
        from fifostr import FIFOStr
        def main():
            myFifoStr=FIFOStr(5) #make a fifostr of length 5 (for unlimited length omit number)
            myFifoStr+='1234567' #adds 1234567 to fifostr ... but len of fifostr is 5
                                 # so only 34567 is retained
           
            print "myFifoStr.head(3)= ",myFifoStr.head(3) #shows 345
            print "myFifoStr.tail(4)= ",myFifoStr.tail(4) #shows 4567
        
            # the eqhead and eqtail functions allow string compares against
            # the head or the tail
        
            myFifoStr.eqhead("3456")    #True
            myFifoStr.eqhead("567")     #False
            myFifoStr.eqtail("4567")    #True
            myFifoStr.eqtail("abc")     #False
        
            #fifostr.testPattern() allows you to test if the pattern is present in the fifostr object
            #test a  string pattern directly
            myFifoStr.testPattern('67890') #False
            
            #test a regex pattern directly.  to do this pass any valid regex in compiled form
            r1=re.compile("[0-9]+")
            myFifoStr.testPattern(r1)   #True
        
            r2=re.compile("[a-z]+")
            myFifoStr.testPattern(r2)   #False
        
            #more generally we can add (and remove) patterns which will scan and trigger a call back everytime the fifostr 
            #internal content changes (whether adding or deleting chars from either end or even rotating/reversing the fifstr object)
        
            #adding patterns
            p1 = myFifoStr.addPattern("234",logf,label="234 was here") #integer index returned managing pattern 
            p2 = myFifoStr.addPattern("67890",logf,label="67890 detected")
            p3 = myFifoStr.addPattern(r1,logf,label="r1 detected")
            myFifoStr.addPattern(r2,logf,label="r2 hit")
            myFifoStr.addPattern(f1,logf,label="f1 hit")   
            myFifoStr.addPattern(f2,logf,label="f2 hit")    
        
            #patterns can be set active/inactive via pattern management fns 
            myFifoStr.setPatternActiveState(p1,False) #based on index returned from addPattern
        
            #now show searching for stored pattern matchers in the pattern dict
            #this is not searching the fifo-string itself, just the stored patterns that we have entered
            print("find pattern by label 'foo':",myFifoStr.findPatternByLabel("foo")) #no matches returns empty list
            print("find pattern by label '234 hit':",myFifoStr.findPatternByLabel("234 hit")) #shows match
            print("find pattern by label using regex '[rf][0-9]':")
            pp.pprint(myFifoStr.findPatternByLabel(re.compile("[rf][0-9]")))
        
            #and finally demonstrate that patterns auto-trigger when items inserted in fifostr .. which afterall
            #is the point of the whole thing.. ;)
            print("\n fifo operations ============")
            for c in '01234567890abcdefghijklmnop':  #show using inc which accomplishes same thing
                myFifoStr += c
        
            myFifoStr+= 'abcdefghi'
            print (myFifoStr.all())
        
        ```
        
        ### Notes   
        
        FIFOstr is not meant replacement for a compiler/parser front end though it can be used as complex tokenizer.  Internally just iterates over stored patterns every time something is added to the fifostr object.  If you do have a parser you wish to be called then just add it as a callback function so that every time the fifostr is updated with a char(s) it will call your parser to do the work.   Your parser must return a boolean result if you wish to use the callback based triggering.  Multiple custom parsers can be run in along with static string patterns or regexes.
        
        
        ```python
        #let your own parser do the work  
            myFifo = fifostr(20)  # make a 20 char fifostr
            myFifo.addPattern(myParser,myCallbk) #myParser passed entire fifostr (as str) when char(s) added
            myFifo.addPattern(myParser,myCallbk2,3,5) #myParser passed fifostr btw (3,5).  My Parser must return True if match found for callback to be invoked
        
        ```

        ### Tests & Coverage
        for quick usage see  
        see __main__ in example.py file  
        
        for test coverage look in the /tests directory  
        to run tests pytest needs to be installed.  
        
        #### on Ubuntu 
        ```bash
        pip install -U pytest pytest-cov 
        pip install coveralls   
        ```
        note: more info at pytest.org  for installation on other OSes  
        
        ```bash
        # running basic tests
        cd tests
        pytest  #or py.test 
        
        # coverage stats below
        coverage run --source fifostr -m pytest 
        coverage report -m
        ```
        ### Generating docs
        Documenation is generated using pandoc and pydoc from the build scripts.
        
        ```bash
        sudo apt-get install pandoc
        ```
        documentation is in /docs directory (generated by pydoc)
        to (re)generate the docs.  cd to the docs directory. then type:
        ```bash
        pydoc -w ../fifostr.py  
        ```
        note that as of this writing pydoc generates its output in the current directory and doesn't seem to be pipeable to another.
