BASEOBJ(1)

NAME
baseobj - Base object

DESCRIPTION
Base class so objects will inherit the methods which provide the string representation of the object and methods to change the verbosity of such string representation. It also includes a simple debug printing and logging mechanism including methods to change the debug verbosity level and methods to add debug levels.

CLASSES

  class BaseObj(__builtin__.object)
Base class so objects will inherit the methods which provide the string representation of the object and a simple debug printing and logging mechanism.

Methods defined here:
---------------------

__init__(self, *kwts, **kwds)
    Constructor Initialize object's private data according to the arguments given Examples:
        # Named arguments
        x = BaseObj(a=1, b=2)
        # Dictionary argument
        x = BaseObj({'a':1, 'b':2})
        # Tuple arguments: first for keys and second for the values
        x = BaseObj(['a', 'b'], [1, 2])
        # All of the above will create an object having two attributes:
        x.a = 1 and x.b = 2

__repr__(self)
    String representation of object The representation depends on the verbose level set by debug_repr(). If set to 0 the generic object representation is returned, else the representation of the object includes all object attributes and their values with proper indentation.

__str__ = __repr__(self)

close_log(self)
    Close log file.

debug_level(self, level=0)
    Set debug level mask.

    level:
        Level to set. This could be a number or a string expression of names defined by debug_map()
    Examples:
        # Set level
        x.debug_level(0xFF)
        # Set level using expression
        x.debug_level('all')
        x.debug_level('debug ^ 1')

dprint(self, level, msg, indent=0)
    Print debug message if level is allowed by the verbose level given in debug_level().

open_log(self, logfile)
    Open log file.

Static methods defined here:
----------------------------

debug_map(bitmap, name='', disp='')
    Add a debug mapping. Generic debug levels map
      <bitmap> <name> <disp prefix>
       0x000 'none'
       0x001 'info' 'INFO: ' # Display info messages only
       0x0FF 'debug' 'DBG: ' # Display info and all debug messages (0x02-0x80)
      >0x100 user defined verbose levels

debug_repr(level=None)
    Return or set verbose level of object's string representation. When setting the verbose level, return the verbose level before setting it.

    level:
        Level of verbosity to set

dindent(indent)
    Set global indentation.

write_log(data)
    Write data to log file.
