t.w.s.ResourceScriptDirectory(resource.Resource) : class documentation

Part of twisted.web.script View Source View In Hierarchy

ResourceScriptDirectory is a resource which serves scripts from a filesystem directory. File children of a ResourceScriptDirectory will be served using ResourceScript. Directory children will be served using another ResourceScriptDirectory.
Instance VariablespathA str giving the filesystem path in which children will be looked up.
registryA static.Registry instance which will be used to decide how to interpret scripts found as children of this resource.
Method __init__ Initialize.
Method getChild Retrieve a 'child' resource from me.
Method render Render a given resource. See IResource's render method.

def __init__(self, pathname, registry=None): (source)
Initialize.
def getChild(self, path, request): (source)

Retrieve a 'child' resource from me.

Implement this to create dynamic resource generation -- resources which are always available may be registered with self.putChild().

This will not be called if the class-level variable 'isLeaf' is set in your subclass; instead, the 'postpath' attribute of the request will be left as a list of the remaining path elements.

For example, the URL /foo/bar/baz will normally be:
 | site.resource.getChild('foo').getChild('bar').getChild('baz').
However, if the resource returned by 'bar' has isLeaf set to true, then the getChild call will never be made on it.
Parameterspatha string, describing the child
requesta twisted.web.server.Request specifying meta-information about the request that is being made for this child.
def render(self, request): (source)

Render a given resource. See IResource's render method.

I delegate to methods of self with the form 'render_METHOD' where METHOD is the HTTP that was used to make the request. Examples: render_GET, render_HEAD, render_POST, and so on. Generally you should implement those methods instead of overriding this one.

render_METHOD methods are expected to return a string which will be the rendered page, unless the return value is twisted.web.server.NOT_DONE_YET, in which case it is this class's responsibility to write the results to request.write(data), then call request.finish().

Old code that overrides render() directly is likewise expected to return a string or NOT_DONE_YET.
