Class Details¶

class Infinity.CommunicationFactory¶

Bases:: GObject.GInterface
Structure:: Infinity.CommunicationFactoryInterface

Infinity.CommunicationFactory is an opaque data type. You should only access it via the public API functions.

instantiate(network, method_name, registry, group)¶

Parameters:

network (str) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”.
method_name (str) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”.
registry (Infinity.CommunicationRegistry) – A Infinity.CommunicationRegistry at which the created method can register connections.
group (Infinity.CommunicationGroup) – The Infinity.CommunicationGroup for which to create the method.

Returns:

A new Infinity.CommunicationMethod.

Return type:

Infinity.CommunicationMethod

Creates a new Infinity.CommunicationMethod for network and method_name. The factory needs to support that method, see Infinity.CommunicationFactory.supports_method().

supports_method(network, method_name)¶

Parameters:

network (str) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”.
method_name (str) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”.

Returns:

Whether self supports the given network and method name.

Return type:

bool

Returns whether self supports creating methods that implement method_name as communication method for connections on network (see Infinity.XmlConnection :network).

do_instantiate(network, method_name, registry, group) virtual¶

Parameters:

network (str) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”.
method_name (str) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”.
registry (Infinity.CommunicationRegistry) – A Infinity.CommunicationRegistry at which the created method can register connections.
group (Infinity.CommunicationGroup) – The Infinity.CommunicationGroup for which to create the method.

Returns:

A new Infinity.CommunicationMethod.

Return type:

Infinity.CommunicationMethod

Creates a new Infinity.CommunicationMethod for network and method_name. The factory needs to support that method, see Infinity.CommunicationFactory.supports_method().

do_supports_method(network, method_name) virtual¶

Parameters:

network (str) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”.
method_name (str) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”.

Returns:

Whether factory supports the given network and method name.

Return type:

bool

Returns whether factory supports creating methods that implement method_name as communication method for connections on network (see Infinity.XmlConnection :network).
