April 2024 - This site, and Kamaelia are being updated. There is significant work needed, and PRs are welcome.

Axon.Linkage.linkage

For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.


class linkage(Axon.Axon.AxonObject)

linkage(source, sink[, passthrough]) -> new linkage object

An object describing a link from a source component's inbox/outbox to a sink component's inbox/outbox.

Keyword arguments: - source -- source component - sink -- sink component - sourcebox -- source component's source box name (default="outbox") - sinkbox -- sink component's sink box name (default="inbox") - passthrough -- 0=link is from inbox to outbox; 1=from inbox to inbox; 2=from outbox to outbox (default=0)

Methods defined here

__init__(self, source, sink[, sourcebox][, sinkbox][, passthrough][, pipewidth][, synchronous])

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature.

__str__(self)

getSinkbox(self)

Returns the box object that this linkage goes to.

getSourcebox(self)

Returns the box object that this linkage goes from.

setShowTransit(self, showtransit, tag)

Set showTransit to True to cause debugging output whenever a message is delivered along this linkage. The tag can be anything you want to identify this occurrence.

setSynchronous(self[, pipewidth])

Legacy method for setting the size limit on a linkage. Instead it sets the size limit for the destination inbox. A pipewidth of None specifies that there should be no limit.

This method is likely to be deprecated soon.

sinkPair(self)

Returns (component,boxname) tuple describing where this linkage goes to

sourcePair(self)

Returns (component,boxname) tuple describing where this linkage goes from
