twisted.spread.pb.Copyable : API documentation

Subclass me to get copied each time you are returned from or passed to a remote method.

When I am returned from or passed to a remote method call, I will be converted into data via a set of callbacks (see my methods for more info). That data will then be serialized using Jelly, and sent to the peer.

The peer will then look up the type to represent this with; see RemoteCopy for details.

Method	getStateToCopy	Gather state to send when I am serialized for a peer.
Method	getStateToCopyFor	Gather state to send when I am serialized for a particular perspective.
Method	getTypeToCopy	Determine what type tag to send for me.
Method	getTypeToCopyFor	Determine what type tag to send for me.
Method	jellyFor	Assemble type tag and state to copy for this broker.

Inherited from Serializable:

Method

processUniqueID

Return an ID which uniquely represents this object for this process.

Inherited from Jellyable (via Serializable):

Method

getStateFor

Undocumented

def getStateToCopy(self): (source)

overridden in twisted.spread.pb.CopyableFailure

Gather state to send when I am serialized for a peer.

I will default to returning self.__dict__. Override this to customize this behavior.

def getStateToCopyFor(self, perspective): (source)

overridden in twisted.web.server.Request

Gather state to send when I am serialized for a particular perspective.

I will default to calling getStateToCopy. Override this to customize this behavior.

def getTypeToCopy(self): (source)

Determine what type tag to send for me.

By default, send the string representation of my class (package.module.Class); normally this is adequate, but you may override this to change it.

def getTypeToCopyFor(self, perspective): (source)

Determine what type tag to send for me.

By default, defer to self.getTypeToCopy() normally this is adequate, but you may override this to change it.

def jellyFor(self, jellier): (source)

from twisted.spread.interfaces.IJellyable

overrides twisted.spread.jelly.Jellyable.jellyFor

overridden in twisted.spread.pb.Cacheable

Assemble type tag and state to copy for this broker.

This will call getTypeToCopyFor and getStateToCopy, and return an appropriate s-expression to represent me.
