Observer Pattern in Python

In this example, we'll be creating a stock ticker demo that uses the Observer Pattern to broadcast stock symbols out to observers. If an observer is looking for a particular stock symbol, it will update the price that is also sent across.

   # The Observer class that recieves updates from the ticker on a specific symbol:
   class TickerObserver(object):

       def __init__(self, tickerSymbol):
           self.tickerSymbol = tickerSymbol
           self.lastPrice = 0.0

       def Update(self, symbol, price):
           if symbol == self.tickerSymbol:
               self.lastPrice = price

       def GetTicker(self):
           return self.tickerSymbol + " : " + str(self.lastPrice)
       


   # The ticker subject that sends out updates to all observers:
   class StockTicker(object):

       def __init__(self):
           self.observers = []

       def AttachObserver(self, tickerObserver):
           self.observers.append(tickerObserver)
       
       def RemoveObserver(self, tickerObserver):
           self.observers.remove(tickerObserver)

       def Notify(self, symbol, price):
           for observer in self.observers:
               observer.Update(symbol, price)
