twisted.python.components.Componentized : API documentation

I am a mixin to allow you to be adapted in various ways persistently.

I define a list of persistent adapters. This is to allow adapter classes to store system-specific state, and initialized on demand. The getComponent method implements this. You must also register adapters for this class for the interfaces that you wish to pass to getComponent.

Many other classes and utilities listed here are present in Zope3; this one is specific to Twisted.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	locateAdapterClass	Undocumented
Method	setAdapter	Undocumented
Method	addAdapter	Utility method that calls addComponent. I take an adapter class and instantiate it with myself as the first argument.
Method	setComponent	Undocumented
Method	addComponent	Add a component to me, for all appropriate interfaces.
Method	unsetComponent	Remove my component specified by the given interface class.
Method	removeComponent	Remove the given component from me entirely, for all interfaces for which it has been registered.
Method	getComponent	Create or retrieve an adapter for the given interface.
Method	__conform__	Undocumented

Inherited from Versioned:

Method	__setstate__	Undocumented
Method	__getstate__	Get state, adding a version number to it on its way out.
Method	versionUpgrade	(internal) Do a version upgrade.

Undocumented

def locateAdapterClass(self, klass, interfaceClass, default): (source)

Undocumented

def setAdapter(self, interfaceClass, adapterClass): (source)

Undocumented

def addAdapter(self, adapterClass, ignoreClass=0): (source)

Utility method that calls addComponent. I take an adapter class and instantiate it with myself as the first argument.

Returns The adapter instantiated.

def setComponent(self, interfaceClass, component): (source)

Undocumented

def addComponent(self, component, ignoreClass=0): (source)

Add a component to me, for all appropriate interfaces.

In order to determine which interfaces are appropriate, the component's provided interfaces will be scanned.

If the argument 'ignoreClass' is True, then all interfaces are considered appropriate.

Otherwise, an 'appropriate' interface is one for which its class has been registered as an adapter for my class according to the rules of getComponent.

Returns the list of appropriate interfaces

def unsetComponent(self, interfaceClass): (source)

Remove my component specified by the given interface class.

def removeComponent(self, component): (source)

Remove the given component from me entirely, for all interfaces for which it has been registered.

Returns a list of the interfaces that were removed.

def getComponent(self, interface, default=None): (source)

Create or retrieve an adapter for the given interface.

If such an adapter has already been created, retrieve it from the cache that this instance keeps of all its adapters. Adapters created through this mechanism may safely store system-specific state.

If you want to register an adapter that will be created through getComponent, but you don't require (or don't want) your adapter to be cached and kept alive for the lifetime of this Componentized object, set the attribute 'temporaryAdapter' to True on your adapter class.

If you want to automatically register an adapter for all appropriate interfaces (with addComponent), set the attribute 'multiComponent' to True on your adapter class.
