repoze.component A Python component system repoze.component README ======================= :mod:`repoze.component` is a package that software developers can use to provide configurability and pluggability to their applications. :mod:`repoze.plugin` provides a generalized indirection mechanism which can be used to provide plugin points to integrators or other developers who may wish to provide alternate implementations of application logic or configuration values. See docs/index.rst for more information. repoze.component Changelog ========================== 0.2 (2009-07-11) ---------------- - Break apart component type storage into ``__component_types__`` and ``__inherited_component_types__`` attributes. The ``__component_types__`` attribute has become a sequence of component types stored directly on an instance as a result of ``provides(ob, 'sometype')``. The ``__inherited_component_types__`` attribute is stored on a class as the result of ``provides(cls, 'sometype')`` ( or via a class-level call to ``provides('a', 'b')`` ). We then recompose these two separate attributes into a unified set of component types when the ``resolve`` method of the registry is called to create an effective list of component types. - ``repoze.component.directlyprovidedby`` now returns only the types directly provided by an instance (its ``__component_types__``); previously it would also return the inherited component types (because there was no such thing as an inherited component type). However, ``repoze.component.providedby`` continues to return all component types (both direct and inherited, as well as default types). - Add ``onlyprovides`` API, which overwrites any existing ``__component_types__`` (or ``__inherited_component_types__``) attribute on the object. It otherwise acts just like ``provides``. 0.1 (2009-06-22) ---------------- - Initial release. Agendaless Consulting 077af4d52387f179a077d47e9bb8c9583a170f6a 0.2
