This package provides a metaclass that allows classes implemented in extension modules to be subclassed in Python. Unless you need ExtensionClasses for legacy applications (e.g. Zope), you probably want to use Python's new-style classes (available since Python 2.2).
This package provides a way to attach attributes to an
ExtensionClass
or instance that are computed by calling a
callable. This works very much like property
known from new-style
classes, except that a ComputedAttribute
can also be attached to
an instance and that it honours ExtensionClass semantics (which is
useful for retaining Acquisition wrappers, for example).
This package lets you attach additional "methods" to ExtensionClasses.
These "methods" are actually implemented by subclassing the
MethodObject.Method
class and implementing the __call__
method
there. Instances of those classes will be bound to the instances
they're attached to and will receive that instance object as a first
parameter (after self
).
