    class ActorProxy(object):

        """
        An :class:`ActorProxy` wraps an :class:`ActorRef <pykka.ActorRef>`
        instance. The proxy allows the referenced actor to be used through regular
        method calls and field access.

        You can create an :class:`ActorProxy` from any :class:`ActorRef
        <pykka.ActorRef>`::

            actor_ref = MyActor.start()
            actor_proxy = ActorProxy(actor_ref)

        You can also get an :class:`ActorProxy` by using :meth:`proxy()
        <pykka.ActorRef.proxy>`::

            actor_proxy = MyActor.start().proxy()

        When reading an attribute or getting a return value from a method, you get
        a :class:`Future <pykka.Future>` object back. To get the enclosed value
        from the future, you must call :meth:`get() <pykka.Future.get>` on the
        returned future::

            print actor_proxy.string_attribute.get()
            print actor_proxy.count().get() + 1

        If you call a method just for it's side effects and do not care about the
        return value, you do not need to accept the returned future or call
        :meth:`get() <pykka.Future.get>` on the future. Simply call the method, and
        it will be executed concurrently with your own code::

            actor_proxy.method_with_side_effect()

        If you want to block your own code from continuing while the other method
        is processing, you can use :meth:`get() <pykka.Future.get>` to block until
        it completes::

            actor_proxy.method_with_side_effect().get()

        An actor can use a proxy to itself to schedule work for itself. The
        scheduled work will only be done after the current message and all messages
        already in the inbox are processed.

        For example, if an actor can split a time consuming task into multiple
        parts, and after completing each part can ask itself to start on the next
        part using proxied calls or messages to itself, it can react faster to
        other incoming messages as they will be interleaved with the parts of the
        time consuming task. This is especially useful for being able to stop the
        actor in the middle of a time consuming task.

        To create a proxy to yourself, use the actor's :attr:`actor_ref
        <pykka.Actor.actor_ref>` attribute::

            proxy_to_myself_in_the_future = self.actor_ref.proxy()

        If you create a proxy in your actor's constructor or :meth:`on_start
        <pykka.Actor.on_start>` method, you can create a nice API for deferring
        work to yourself in the future::

            def __init__(self):
                ...
                self.in_future = self.actor_ref.proxy()
                ...

            def do_work(self):
                ...
                self.in_future.do_more_work()
                ...

            def do_more_work(self):
                ...

        An example of :class:`ActorProxy` usage:

        .. literalinclude:: ../examples/counter.py

        :param actor_ref: reference to the actor to proxy
        :type actor_ref: :class:`pykka.ActorRef`
