Module twisted.spread.jelly

Classes
DummySecurityOptions DummySecurityOptions() -> insecure security options Dummy security options -- this class will allow anything.
Jellyable Inherit from me to Jelly yourself directly.
SecurityOptions This will by default disallow everything, except for 'none'.
Unjellyable Inherit from me to Unjelly yourself directly.
Unpersistable This is an instance of a class that comes back when something couldn't be persisted.
_Dummy (Internal) Dummy class, used for unserializing instances.
_Jellier (Internal) This class manages state for a call to jelly()
_Unjellier  

Exceptions
InsecureJelly This exception will be raised when a jelly is deemed `insecure'; e.g.

Function Details

getInstanceState(inst, jellier)

Utility method to default to 'normal' state rules in serialization.

jelly(object, taster=<twisted.spread.jelly.DummySecurityOptions instan..., persistentStore=None, invoker=None)

Serialize to s-expression.

Returns a list which is the serialized representation of an object. An optional 'taster' argument takes a SecurityOptions and will mark any insecure objects as unpersistable rather than serializing them.

setInstanceState(inst, unjellier, jellyList)

Utility method to default to 'normal' state rules in unserialization.

setUnjellyableFactoryForClass(classname, copyFactory)

Set the factory to construct a remote instance of a type:
   jellier.setFactoryForClass('module.package.Class', MyFactory)

Call this at the module level immediately after its class definition. copyFactory should return an instance or subclass of RemoteCopy<pb.RemoteCopy>.

Similar to setUnjellyableForClass except it uses a factory instead of creating an instance.

setUnjellyableForClass(classname, unjellyable)

Set which local class will represent a remote type.

If you have written a Copyable class that you expect your client to be receiving, write a local "copy" class to represent it, then call:
   jellier.setUnjellyableForClass('module.package.Class', MyJellier).

Call this at the module level immediately after its class definition. MyCopier should be a subclass of RemoteCopy.

The classname may be a special tag returned by 'Copyable.getTypeToCopyFor' rather than an actual classname.

This call is also for cached classes, since there will be no overlap. The rules are the same.

setUnjellyableForClassTree(module, baseClass, prefix=None)

Set all classes in a module derived from baseClass as copiers for a corresponding remote class.

When you have a heirarchy of Copyable (or Cacheable) classes on one side, and a mirror structure of Copied (or RemoteCache) classes on the other, use this to setCopierForClass all your Copieds for the Copyables.

Each copyTag (the "classname" argument to getTypeToCopyFor, and what the Copyable's getTypeToCopyFor returns) is formed from adding a prefix to the Copied's class name. The prefix defaults to module.__name__. If you wish the copy tag to consist of solely the classname, pass the empty string ''.
Parameters:
module - a module object from which to pull the Copied classes. (passing sys.modules[__name__] might be useful)
baseClass - the base class from which all your Copied classes derive.
prefix - the string prefixed to classnames to form the unjellyableRegistry.

unjelly(sexp, taster=<twisted.spread.jelly.DummySecurityOptions instan..., persistentLoad=None, invoker=None)

Unserialize from s-expression.

Takes an list that was the result from a call to jelly() and unserializes an arbitrary object from it. The optional 'taster' argument, an instance of SecurityOptions, will cause an InsecureJelly exception to be raised if a disallowed type, module, or class attempted to unserialize.
