fncs.py returns empty list for `get_events`

[XinboGeng]

When communicating with a cpp player using fncs.py, we are unable to use get_events() to return a list of keys - it returns an empty list. The get_value(key) method is also empty. We are trying to communicate with simB.cpp. The simA.cpp <-> simB.cpp works as expected using a broker. simA.py (below) <-> simB.cpp does not work as expected.

import fncs
fncs.initialize("""name = simA
time_delta = 1s
broker = tcp://localhost:5570
values
    key
         topic = simB/object.attribute
     """)

fncs.initialize()

for current_time in range(1,100):

    fncs.publish("object.attribute", "value_from_PythonA")

    print(fncs.get_events()) # empty list

    # value = fncs.get_value(key)

 fncs.finalize()

@jeffdaily is this possibly related to #3 ?

Hi @jeffdaily, any update on this issue?

This issue can be closed. get_events will return an empty list in this case since no events have been published prior. get_events returns the expected keys after a valid time request.
