Class Hierarchy

• exceptions.Exception: Common base class for all exceptions.
  • spoon.transports.TransportException
  • spoon.routing.meshrouter.RoutingProtocolError
    • spoon.routing.meshrouter.NodeUnreachable: Raised when trying to send to a node that is not currently reachable.
  • spoon.ber.BERException
• object: The most base type
  • spoon.messaging.Messaging: This is the main messaging class that implements the basic functionality for Spoon.
    • spoon.messaging.SingletonMessaging: For convinience this is a singleton version of the Messaging system.
  • spoon.ber.zencoder
  • spoon.ber.stream.CountingFile
  • spoon.routing.meshrouter.MeshRouter: This class handles LMTYPE_NETWORK messages and LMTYPE_NETWORK_PROTO messages.
  • spoon.transports.LinkMessage: Link message is the wrapper which will contain messages sent between two directly connected nodes.
  • spoon.ber.BERStream: FIXME docs
  • spoon.routing.meshrouter.NetMessage: NetMessage is the protocol unit for the networking component of spoon.
  • dict: dict() -> new empty dictionary.
    • spoon.spooncore.LazyDict
  • spoon.spooncore.Memoizer: Used as a substitute for the file object when serializing Serial objects, so reference cycles are caught and handled.
  • spoon.serialprop: When used like a property in a Serial class, it will act as a flag to the serializer that only properties that are of type serialprop or lazyprop are to be serialized.
  • spoon.ber.decoder
  • spoon.ber.encoder
  • threading._Verbose
    • threading.Thread
      • spoon.transports.spoontransport.SpoonTransportThread
  • spoon.Serial
    • spoon.transports.SpoonRPCHello: This object is sent as a very simple form of initial negotiation.
  • spoon.transports.TransportHub: Where all of your transports connect to form your glorious new node.
  • spoon.transports.SpoonTransport: The spoon transport base class.
  • spoon.spooncore.SpoonData
  • spoon.NullLogger: Dummy logging object.
  • spoon.messaging.receive: The receive decorator can be used to decorate functions and static methods (NOT methods of class instances) that should receive messages of a given type.
  • spoon.ber.Tag: Representation of the header of an ASN.1 object.
  • spoon.spoonstream.SocketFile: Simple wrapper around a socket like object that pretends to be a file.
  • spoon.SpoonStream: SpoonStream implements an object stream.
  • property: property(fget=None, fset=None, fdel=None, doc=None) -> property attribute fget is a function to be used for getting an attribute value, and likewise fset is a function for setting, and fdel a function for del'ing, an attribute.
    • spoon.lazyprop: When used like a property in a Serial class, it will act as a flag to the serializer that only properties that are of type serialprop or lazyprop are to be serialized.
  • spoon.spooncore.StringIOWrap: Stupid wrapper around StringIO because it isn't a new style class.
  • type: type(object) -> the object's type type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type
    • spoon.spooncore.SerialMeta
