Class Details¶

class Infinity.CommunicationFactory¶

Bases:	`GObject.GInterface`
Structure:	`Infinity.CommunicationFactoryInterface`

Infinity.CommunicationFactory is an opaque data type. You should only access it via the public API functions.

instantiate(network, method_name, registry, group)¶

Parameters:	network (`str`) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”. method_name (`str`) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”. registry (`Infinity.CommunicationRegistry`) – A `Infinity.CommunicationRegistry` at which the created method can register connections. group (`Infinity.CommunicationGroup`) – The `Infinity.CommunicationGroup` for which to create the method.
Returns:	A new `Infinity.CommunicationMethod`.
Return type:	`Infinity.CommunicationMethod`

Creates a new Infinity.CommunicationMethod for network and method_name. The factory needs to support that method, see Infinity.CommunicationFactory.supports_method().

supports_method(network, method_name)¶

Parameters:	network (`str`) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”. method_name (`str`) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”.
Returns:	Whether self supports the given network and method name.
Return type:	`bool`

Returns whether self supports creating methods that implement method_name as communication method for connections on network (see Infinity.XmlConnection :network).

do_instantiate(network, method_name, registry, group) virtual¶

Parameters:	network (`str`) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”. method_name (`str`) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”. registry (`Infinity.CommunicationRegistry`) – A `Infinity.CommunicationRegistry` at which the created method can register connections. group (`Infinity.CommunicationGroup`) – The `Infinity.CommunicationGroup` for which to create the method.
Returns:	A new `Infinity.CommunicationMethod`.
Return type:	`Infinity.CommunicationMethod`

Creates a new Infinity.CommunicationMethod for network and method_name. The factory needs to support that method, see Infinity.CommunicationFactory.supports_method().

do_supports_method(network, method_name) virtual¶

Parameters:	network (`str`) – A network specifier, such as “tcp/ip” or “jabber”. method_name (`str`) – A method identifier, such as “central” or “groupchat”.
Returns:	Whether factory supports the given network and method name.
Return type:	`bool`

Returns whether factory supports creating methods that implement method_name as communication method for connections on network (see Infinity.XmlConnection :network).
