This module provides implementations of the Namespace interface's
Context object, which is used to implement the nodes in
the global distributed namespace.
This module defines the following classes:
- Context ()
- Derived from Namespace__skel.Context, this
class provides the basic implementation of a namespace
context object. This class fully implements the
Namespace interface. Bindings are kept in a
protected instance variable called
self._bindings which is a Python dictionary.
This dictionary's default value is empty.
- PredefinedContext (dict)
- Derived from Context described above, this
class is identical except the constructor takes a
dictionary containing a pre-defined set of name
to descriptor bindings. These binding are not special in
any way, e.g., they can be unbound with the
Namespace.Unbind() method.
- PersistentContext (db)
- Derived from Context described above, this
class provides for a persistent implementation of name
bindings. By passing in a persistent dictionary (e.g., a
Python
shelf object), changes to the context are propagated to
the persistent database.
