Enhancement: Make actor messaging location transparent #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Currently it is necessary to know if an actor is in the current process, a 
process group or on the network. If I wanted to move an actor to another group, 
I'd need to rework every line where a message is being sent to that actor.

It would be cleaner to simply dispatch messages and have routing provided by 
the framework. I understand this is difficult for network actors but it would 
be an improvement if it's done for process groups.

If the propagation wasn't stopped by returning True and with a global registry 
in the main process, the dispatcher would know where to send messages every 
time.

I'm rather new to this library, is conditional propagation a greatly used 
feature?
