Usage

Zodict

Ordered dictionary which implements the corresponding zope.interface.common.mapping interface.

>>> from zope.interface.common.mapping import IFullMapping
>>> from zodict import Zodict
>>> zod = Zodict()
>>> IFullMapping.providedBy(zod)
True

Node

This is a zodict which provides a location. Location the zope way means each item in the node-tree knows its parent and its own name.

>>> from zope.location.interface import ILocation
>>> from zodict import Node
>>> root = Node('root')
>>> ILocation.providedBy(Node)
True

>>> root['child'] = Node()
>>> root['child'].path
['root', 'child']

>>> child = root['child']
>>> child.__name__
'child'

>>> child.__parent__
<Node object 'root' at ...>

The filtereditems function.

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.interface import alsoProvides
>>> class IMarker(Interface): pass
>>> alsoProvides(root['child']['subchild'], IMarker)
>>> IMarker.providedBy(root['child']['subchild'])
True

>>> for item in root['child'].filtereditems(IMarker):
...     print item.path
['root', 'child', 'subchild']

UUID related operations on Node.

>>> uuid = root['child']['subchild'].uuid
>>> uuid
UUID('...')

>>> root.node(uuid).path
['root', 'child', 'subchild']

>>> root.uuid = uuid
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
ValueError: Given uuid was already used for another Node

>>> import uuid
>>> newuuid = uuid.uuid4()

>>> root.uuid = newuuid
>>> root['child'].node(newuuid).path
['root']

Node insertion (an insertafter function exist as well).

>>> root['child1'] = Node()
>>> root['child2'] = Node()

>>> node = Node('child3')
>>> root.insertbefore(node, root['child2'])
>>> root.printtree()
<class 'zodict.node.Node'>: root
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child1
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child3
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child2

Move a node. Therefor we first need to detach the node we want to move from tree. Then insert the detached node elsewhere. In general, you can insert the detached node or subtree to a complete different tree.

>>> len(root._index.keys())
6

>>> node = root.detach('child4')
>>> node
<Node object 'child4' at ...>

>>> len(node._index.keys())
1
>>> len(root._index.keys())
5

>>> len(root.values())
4

>>> root.insertbefore(node, root['child1'])
>>> root.printtree()
<class 'zodict.node.Node'>: root
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child4
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child1
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child3
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child5
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child2

Merge 2 Node Trees.

>>> tree1 = Node()
>>> tree1['a'] = Node()
>>> tree1['b'] = Node()
>>> tree2 = Node()
>>> tree2['d'] = Node()
>>> tree2['e'] = Node()
>>> tree1._index is tree2._index
False

>>> len(tree1._index.keys())
3

>>> tree1.printtree()
<class 'zodict.node.Node'>: None
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: a
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: b

>>> len(tree2._index.keys())
3

>>> tree2.printtree()
<class 'zodict.node.Node'>: None
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: d
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: e

>>> tree1['c'] = tree2
>>> len(tree1._index.keys())
6

>> sorted(tree1._index.values(), key=lambda x: x.__name__)

>>> tree1._index is tree2._index
True

>>> tree1.printtree()
<class 'zodict.node.Node'>: None
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: a
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: b
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: c
    <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: d
    <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: e

LifecycleNode

The LifecycleNode is able to send out notifies with object-events based on zope.lifecycleevent subclasses.

Creation of Node

zodict.events.NodeCreatedEvent implementing zodict.interfaces.INodeCreatedEvent.

Adding childs to Node

zodict.events.NodeAddedEvent implementing zodict.interfaces.INodeAddedEvent.

Deleting childs from Node

zodict.events.NodeRemovedEvent implementing zodict.interfaces.INodeRemovedEvent.

Detaching childs from Node

zodict.events.NodeDetachedEvent implementing zodict.interfaces.INodeDetachedEvent.

In subclasses of Node the event classes can be exchanged by modifying the class attribute events on the node. It is a dictionary with the keys: ['created', 'added', 'removed', 'detached']

Changes

Version 1.8.0

• added zope.lifecycle events to the new LifecycleNode. You can easiely override them with your own events. jensens, 2009-12-21

• Renamed class zodict to Zodict, renamed module zodict.zodict to zodict._zodict. This avoids ugly clashes on import (package vs. module vs.class). BBB import is provided in the 1.x release series. jensens, 2009-12-21

Version 1.7.0

-Add Node.detach function. Needed for node or subtree moving. This is

done due to performance reasons. rnix, 2009-12-18

-Node.index returns now a NodeIndex object, which implements

zope.interface.common.mapping.IReadMapping. This functions convert uuid instances to integers before node lookup. So we still fit the contract of returning nodes from index by uuid. rnix, 2009-12-18

-Change type of keys of Node._index to int. uuid.UUID.__hash__

function was called too often jensens, rnix, 2009-12-18

-make Node thread safe.

jensens, rnix, 2009-12-18

Version 1.6.1

-make Node trees merge properly.

rnix, 2009-12-15

-make getter and setter functions of uuid property private.

rnix, 2009-12-15

Version 1.6.0

-remove the traverser module.

rnix, 2009-11-28

-improve insertbefore and insertafter a little bit.

rnix, 2009-11-28

-add index Attribute to Node. Allows access to the internal

_index attribute. rnix, 2009-11-28

-remove @accept and @return decorators. Just overhead.

rnix, 2009-11-28

Version 1.5.0

-add insertbefore and insertafter function to Node.

rnix, 2009-11-27

-fix printtree if Node.__name__ is None.

rnix, 2009-11-20

-add printtree debug helper function to Node.

rnix, 2009-11-09

-define own Traverser interface and reduce dependencies.

rnix, 2009-10-28

-removed import of tests from zodicts __init__. this caused import errors

if interlude wasnt installed. jensens, 2009-07-16

Version 1.4.0

-Don’t allow classes as values of a Node. Attribute __name__

conflicts. jensens, 2009-05-06

-repr(nodeobj) now returns the real classname and not fixed

<Node object this helps a lot while testing and using classes inheriting from Node! jensens, 2009-05-06

-Make tests run with python setup.py test.

Removed superflous dependency on zope.testing. jensens, 2009-05-06

Version 1.3.3

-Fix ITraverser interface import including BBB.

Version 1.3.2

-Add root property to Node.

thet, 2009-04-24

Version 1.3.1

-Add __delitem__ function to Node.

rnix, 2009-04-16

Version 1.3

-Add uuid Attribute and node function to Node.

rnix, 2009-03-23

Version 1.2

-Add filtereditems function to Node.

rnix, 2009-03-22

Version 1.1

-Add INode interface and implementation.

rnix, 2009-03-18
