Welcome to PathEx’s documentation!

The main goal of PathEx library is to ease concurrent programming in Python by separating the specification of synchronization from the main logic aspect. Path expressions 1 is the selected theoretical framework to achieve this goal. In this model, the allowed execution paths are specified declaratively by using constructions similar to regular expressions.

Code is available at GitHub.
