My specific question is how evaluation of the path expression X/Z is
handled. It *seems* to be:
X.__getitem__('Y')# X['Y']
whereas I'm trying to get:
X.__getattr__('Y')# X.Y
Under Zope 2, as I recall, it would try several algorithms; attribute,
mapping, sequence. And I'm wondering if that mechanism was simplified
for Zope 3, and in what way.
Study has shown that it searches attribute then item namespace for
non-containers, *but* item and then attribute namespace for containers.
My objects are contained containers representing specialized SQL tables
(records are items), that also themselves have attributes. So the search of
item namespace first was causing bogus (and time consuming) SQL queries to
be made.
I need control over which namespace is searched, so I added a couple of
generic TALES namespace adapters. Now I can do:
h1 tal:content=context/attr:name /
to -only- search for a name attribute, and (less frequently):
h1 tal:content=context/item:ABC123 /
to -only- search using __getitem__() calls.
Perhaps this is useful to others, and since it wasn't much code, here it is:
cut here
_marker = object()
class AttrPathAdapter(object):
Only search attribute not item namespace for path members.
implements(ITALESFunctionNamespace)
def __init__(self, context):
self.context = context
def setEngine(self, engine):
self.locale = removeSecurityProxy(engine.vars['request']).locale
def __getattribute__(self, name):
if name.startswith(_):
return super(AttrPathAdapter, self).__getattribute__(name)
value = getattr(self.__dict__['context'], name, _marker)
if value is _marker:
return super(AttrPathAdapter, self).__getattribute__(name)
return value
class ItemPathAdapter(object):
Only search item not attribute namespace for path members.
implements(ITALESFunctionNamespace)
def __init__(self, context):
self.context = context
def setEngine(self, engine):
self.locale = removeSecurityProxy(engine.vars['request']).locale
def __getattribute__(self, name):
if name.startswith(_):
return super(ItemPathAdapter, self).__getattribute__(name)
value = self.__dict__['context'].get(name, _marker)
if value is _marker:
return super(ItemPathAdapter, self).__getattribute__(name)
return value
cut here
