pyre.shells.Plexus

Module Contents

class pyre.shells.Plexus.Plexus(**kwds)

Bases: pyre.shells.Application.Application

Base class for applications that interpret their first non-configurational command line argument as an action that should be executed.

As an example of such an app, consider {merlin}. Invoking

merlin version

causes the {merlin} plexus to locate an action named {version} and invoke it.

Subclasses are expected to declare a class variable {pyre_action} that points to a subclass of the {Action} protocol defined in this package. This responsibility is left to subclasses so that there is no bias on the category names of the actions induced by a choice of family name by the framework. This way the language used to specify the actions and their behavior can remain natural to the context of the application.
