BASEOBJ(1) baseobj 1.0.1 BASEOBJ(1)NAME
baseobj - Base object
DESCRIPTION
Base class so objects will inherit the methods which provide the string
representation of the object and methods to change the verbosity of
such string representation. It also includes a simple debug printing
and logging mechanism including methods to change the debug verbosity
level and methods to add debug levels.
CLASSES
class BaseObj(__builtin__.object)
Base class so objects will inherit the methods which provide the string
representation of the object and a simple debug printing and logging
mechanism.
Methods defined here:
---------------------
__init__(self, *kwts, **kwds)
Constructor
Initialize object's private data according to the arguments
given
Examples:
# Named arguments
x = BaseObj(a=1, b=2)
# Dictionary argument
x = BaseObj({'a':1, 'b':2})
# Tuple arguments: first for keys and second for the values
x = BaseObj(['a', 'b'], [1, 2])
# All of the above will create an object having two
attributes:
x.a = 1 and x.b = 2
__repr__(self)
String representation of object
The representation depends on the verbose level set by
debug_repr(). If set to 0 the generic object representation is
returned, else the representation of the object includes all
object attributes and their values with proper indentation.
__str__ = __repr__(self)close_log(self)
Close log file.
debug_level(self, level=0)
Set debug level mask.
level: Level to set. This could be a number or a string expres‐
sion of names defined by debug_map()
Examples:
# Set level
x.debug_level(0xFF)
# Set level using expression
x.debug_level('all')
x.debug_level('debug ^ 1')
dprint(self, level, msg, indent=0)
Print debug message if level is allowed by the verbose level
given in debug_level().
open_log(self, logfile)
Open log file.
Static methods defined here:
----------------------------
debug_map(bitmap, name='', disp='')
Add a debug mapping.
Generic debug levels map
<bitmap> <name> <disp prefix>
0x000 'none'
0x001 'info' 'INFO: ' # Display info messages only
0x0FF 'debug' 'DBG: ' # Display info and all debug mes‐
sages (0x02-0x80)
>0x100 user defined verbose levels
debug_repr(level=None)
Return or set verbose level of object's string representation.
When setting the verbose level, return the verbose level before
setting it.
level: Level of verbosity to set
dindent(indent)
Set global indentation.
write_log(data)
Write data to log file.
BUGS
No known bugs.
