dispatch.Signal

class Signal(providing_args=list) [source]

All signals are django.dispatch.Signal instances. The providing_args is a list of the names of arguments the signal will provide to listeners. This is purely documentational, however, as there is nothing that checks that the signal actually provides these arguments to its listeners.

For example:

This declares a pizza_done signal that will provide receivers with toppings and size arguments.

Remember that you’re allowed to change this list of arguments at any time, so getting the API right on the first try isn’t necessary.
