This module defines the abstract interface :class:`pysyncml.Agent
<pysyncml.agents.base.Agent>`, the base class for all pysyncml
synchronization agents.

[docs]class Agent(object): ''' The ``Agent`` interface is how the pysyncml Adapter interacts with the actual objects being synchronized. The data is expected to be stored by the calling framework, and pysyncml manages the protocol for synchronization. This API defines the core required methods that need to be implemented (:meth:`addItem`, :meth:`getItem`, :meth:`replaceItem`, :meth:`deleteItem`, :meth:`getAllItems`, :meth:`loadItem`, :meth:`dumpItem`), as well as several optional methods that can be implemented for optimization purposes. ''' #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- def __init__(self, contentTypes=None, *args, **kw): super(Agent, self).__init__(*args, **kw) self.contentTypes = contentTypes # helper methods #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[docs] def deleteAllItems(self): ''' [OPTIONAL] Deletes all items stored by this Agent. The default implementation simply iterates over :meth:`getAllItems` and deletes them one at a time. ''' for item in self.getAllItems(): self.deleteItem(item.id) #============================================================================ # serialization methods -- these MUST be implemented #============================================================================ # TODO: ideally, both would be implemented to call each other, but a # trap for Recursion depth exception would be set so that i can # warn about that... that would allow the sub-classer to implement # either. the `(dump|load)*s*Item` should probably be the "optimized" # route... ie. the non-string version should do the recursion check. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[docs] def dumpItem(self, item, stream, contentType=None, version=None): ''' Converts the specified `item` to serialized form (such that it can be transported over the wire) and writes it to the provided file-like `stream` object. For agents that support multiple content-types, the desired `contentType` and `version` will be specified as a parameter. If `contentType` and `version` are None, appropriate default values should be used. ''' raise NotImplementedError() #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[docs] def dumpsItem(self, item, contentType=None, version=None): ''' [OPTIONAL] Identical to :meth:`dumpItem`, except the serialized form is returned as a string representation. The default implementation just wraps :meth:`dumpItem`. ''' buf = StringIO.StringIO() self.dumpItem(item, buf, contentType, version) return buf.getvalue() #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[docs] def loadItem(self, stream, contentType=None, version=None): ''' Reverses the effects of the :meth:`dumpItem` method, and returns the de-serialized Item from the file-like source `stream`. Note: `version` will typically be ``None``, so it should either be auto-determined, or not used. This is an issue in the SyncML protocol, and is only here for symmetry with :meth:`dumpItem` and as "future-proofing". ''' raise NotImplementedError() #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[docs] def loadsItem(self, data, contentType=None, version=None): ''' [OPTIONAL] Identical to :meth:`loadItem`, except the serialized form is provided as a string representation in `data` instead of as a stream. The default implementation just wraps :meth:`loadItem`.

[docs] def addItem(self, item): ''' The specified `item`, which will have been created via a prior ``loadItem()``, is added to the local datastore. This method returns either a new :class:`pysyncml.Item <pysyncml.items.base.Item>` instance or the same `item` that was passed --- in either case, the returned item **MUST** have a valid :attr:`pysyncml.Item.id <pysyncml.items.base.Item.id>` attribute. ''' raise NotImplementedError()
[docs] def getItem(self, itemID): ''' Returns the :class:`pysyncml.Item <pysyncml.items.base.Item>` instance associated with the specified `itemID`, which may or may not have been converted to a string. ''' raise NotImplementedError()
