t.w.i.I.locateChild(req, segments) : method documentation

Part of twisted.web2.iweb.IResource View Source

Locate another object which can be adapted to IResource.
Returns

A 2-tuple of (resource, remaining-path-segments), or a deferred which will fire the above.

Causes the object publishing machinery to continue on with specified resource and segments, calling the appropriate method on the specified resource.

If you return (self, server.StopTraversal), this instructs web2 to immediately stop the lookup stage, and switch to the rendering stage, leaving the remaining path alone for your render function to handle.
