twisted.python.components : API documentation

Component architecture for Twisted, based on Zope3 components.

Using the Zope3 API directly is strongly recommended. Everything you need is in the top-level of the zope.interface package, e.g.:

  from zope.interface import Interface, implements

  class IFoo(Interface):
      pass

  class Foo:
      implements(IFoo)

  print IFoo.implementedBy(Foo) # True
  print IFoo.providedBy(Foo()) # True

The one exception is twisted.python.components.registerAdapter, which is still the way to register adapters (at least, if you want Twisted's global adapter registry).

Class	ComponentsDeprecationWarning	Nothing emits this warning anymore.
Function	registerAdapter	Register an adapter class.
Function	getAdapterFactory	Return registered adapter for a given class and interface.
Function	backwardsCompatImplements	DEPRECATED.
Function	fixClassImplements	DEPRECATED.
Function	getRegistry	Returns the Twisted global `zope.interface.adapter.AdapterRegistry` instance.
Class	Adapter	I am the default implementation of an Adapter for some interface.
Class	Componentized	I am a mixin to allow you to be adapted in various ways persistently.
Class	ReprableComponentized	Undocumented
Function	proxyForInterface	Create a class which proxies all method calls which adhere to an interface to another provider of that interface.
Function	_registered 0	Return the adapter factory for the given parameters in the given registry, or None if there is not one.
Function	_registered	Return the adapter factory for the given parameters in the given registry, or None if there is not one.
Function	_hook	Undocumented
Class	_ProxiedClassMethod	A proxied class method.
Class	_ProxyDescriptor	A descriptor which will proxy attribute access, mutation, and deletion to the `original` attribute of the object it is being accessed from.

def registerAdapter(adapterFactory, origInterface, *interfaceClasses): (source)

An adapter class is expected to implement the given interface, by adapting instances implementing 'origInterface'. An adapter class's __init__ method should accept one parameter, an instance implementing 'origInterface'.

def proxyForInterface(iface, originalAttribute='original'): (source)

Create a class which proxies all method calls which adhere to an interface to another provider of that interface.

This function is intended for creating specialized proxies. The typical way to use it is by subclassing the result:

 class MySpecializedProxy(proxyForInterface(IFoo)):
     def someInterfaceMethod(self, arg):
         if arg == 3:
             return 3
         return self.original.someInterfaceMethod(arg)

Parameters	iface	The Interface to which the resulting object will conform, and which the wrapped object must provide.
	originalAttribute	name of the attribute used to save the original object in the resulting class. Default to `original`. (type: `str` )
Returns	A class whose constructor takes the original object as its only argument. Constructing the class creates the proxy.
