Hello,
It's done - we can now extend SOGo directly in Python. One can easily
create a Python class, define methods and create it as an object in
Objective-C.
So what does that mean? It'll be possible for us to define "hooks" -
methods that SOGo will invoke and people will implement in Python. For
example, we could create a hook in SOGoParentFolder
(_createPersonalFolder) :
- Name: -personalFolderWasCreated: (SOGoGCSFolder *) theFolder
forUser: (SOGoUser *) theUser
- Description: This method will be invoked whenever a personal folder
(default Calendar or
Address Book) is created. Using this hook, you can for
example, automatically
subscribe the user when he "first logs in" to some
other resources or you can
create additional resources.
Your Python module would simply look like:
=== SNIP ===
import objc
class Foobar (objc.lookUpClass('NSObject')):
"""Simple SOGo Bundle"""
def init(self):
return self
def personalFolderWasCreated_forUser_(self, folder, user):
// do your own stuff here
=== SNIP ===
Of course, from Python, you will be able to call Objective-C methods on
objects (from SOGo/SOPE/GNUstep, etc.) or any other stuff coming for the
gazillion on Python modules out there. Your Python module would simply
be in a bundle, together with its resources.
What we need from you? Ideas for hooks.
Regards,
