pyramid.interfaces

Other Interfaces

interface ISecurityPolicy[source]
authenticated_userid(request)

Return a userid string identifying the trusted and verified user, or None if unauthenticated.

If the result is None, then pyramid.request.Request.is_authenticated will return False.

forget(request, **kw)

Return a set of headers suitable for 'forgetting' the current user on subsequent requests. An individual security policy and its consumers can decide on the composition and meaning of **kw.

identity(request)

Return the identity of the current user. The object can be of any shape, such as a simple ID string or an ORM object.

permits(request, context, permission)

Return an instance of pyramid.security.Allowed if a user of the given identity is allowed the permission in the current context, else return an instance of pyramid.security.Denied.

remember(request, userid, **kw)

Return a set of headers suitable for 'remembering' the userid named userid when set in a response. An individual security policy and its consumers can decide on the composition and meaning of **kw.

interface IAuthenticationPolicy[source]

An object representing a Pyramid authentication policy.

Deprecated since version 2.0: Authentication policies have been removed in favor of security policies. See Upgrading Authentication/Authorization for more information.

authenticated_userid(request)

Return the authenticated userid or None if no authenticated userid can be found. This method of the policy should ensure that a record exists in whatever persistent store is used related to the user (the user should not have been deleted); if a record associated with the current id does not exist in a persistent store, it should return None.

effective_principals(request)

Return a sequence representing the effective principals typically including the userid and any groups belonged to by the current user, always including 'system' groups such as pyramid.authorization.Everyone and pyramid.authorization.Authenticated.

forget(request)

Return a set of headers suitable for 'forgetting' the current user on subsequent requests.

remember(request, userid, **kw)

Return a set of headers suitable for 'remembering' the userid named userid when set in a response. An individual authentication policy and its consumers can decide on the composition and meaning of **kw.

unauthenticated_userid(request)

Return the unauthenticated userid. This method performs the same duty as authenticated_userid but is permitted to return the userid based only on data present in the request; it needn't (and shouldn't) check any persistent store to ensure that the user record related to the request userid exists.

This method is intended primarily a helper to assist the authenticated_userid method in pulling credentials out of the request data, abstracting away the specific headers, query strings, etc that are used to authenticate the request.

interface IAuthorizationPolicy[source]

An object representing a Pyramid authorization policy.

Deprecated since version 2.0: Authentication policies have been removed in favor of security policies. See Upgrading Authentication/Authorization for more information.

permits(context, principals, permission)

Return an instance of pyramid.security.Allowed if any of the principals is allowed the permission in the current context, else return an instance of pyramid.security.Denied.

principals_allowed_by_permission(context, permission)

Return a set of principal identifiers allowed by the permission in context. This behavior is optional; if you choose to not implement it you should define this method as something which raises a NotImplementedError. This method will only be called when the pyramid.security.principals_allowed_by_permission API is used.

interface IExceptionResponse[source]

Extends: pyramid.interfaces.IException, pyramid.interfaces.IResponse

An interface representing a WSGI response which is also an exception object. Register an exception view using this interface as a context to apply the registered view for all exception types raised by Pyramid internally (any exception that inherits from pyramid.response.Response, including pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPNotFound and pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPForbidden).

prepare(environ)

Prepares the response for being called as a WSGI application

interface IRoute[source]

Interface representing the type of object returned from IRoutesMapper.get_route

factory

The root factory used by the Pyramid router when this route matches (or None)

generate(kw)

Generate a URL based on filling in the dynamic segment markers in the pattern using the kw dictionary provided.

match(path)

If the path passed to this function can be matched by the pattern of this route, return a dictionary (the 'matchdict'), which will contain keys representing the dynamic segment markers in the pattern mapped to values extracted from the provided path.

If the path passed to this function cannot be matched by the pattern of this route, return None.

name

The route name

pattern

The route pattern

predicates

A sequence of route predicate objects used to determine if a request matches this route or not after basic pattern matching has been completed.

pregenerator

This attribute should either be None or a callable object implementing the IRoutePregenerator interface

interface IRoutePregenerator[source]
__call__(request, elements, kw)

A pregenerator is a function associated by a developer with a route. The pregenerator for a route is called by pyramid.request.Request.route_url() in order to adjust the set of arguments passed to it by the user for special purposes, such as Pylons 'subdomain' support. It will influence the URL returned by route_url.

A pregenerator should return a two-tuple of (elements, kw) after examining the originals passed to this function, which are the arguments (request, elements, kw). The simplest pregenerator is:

def pregenerator(request, elements, kw):
    return elements, kw

You can employ a pregenerator by passing a pregenerator argument to the pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route() function.

interface ICSRFStoragePolicy[source]

An object that offers the ability to verify CSRF tokens and generate new ones.

check_csrf_token(request, token)

Determine if the supplied token is valid. Most implementations should simply compare the token to the current value of get_csrf_token but it is possible to verify the token using any mechanism necessary using this method.

Returns True if the token is valid, otherwise False.

get_csrf_token(request)

Return a cross-site request forgery protection token. It will be an ascii-compatible unicode string. If a token was previously set for this user via new_csrf_token, that token will be returned. If no CSRF token was previously set, new_csrf_token will be called, which will create and set a token, and this token will be returned.

new_csrf_token(request)

Create and return a new, random cross-site request forgery protection token. The token will be an ascii-compatible unicode string.

interface ISession[source]

Extends: pyramid.interfaces.IDict

An interface representing a session (a web session object, usually accessed via request.session.

Keys and values of a session must be JSON-serializable.

Warning

In Pyramid 2.0 the session was changed to only be required to support types that can be serialized using JSON. It's recommended to switch any session implementations to support only JSON and to only store primitive types in sessions. See Upgrading Session Serialization for more information about why this change was made.

Changed in version 1.9: Sessions are no longer required to implement get_csrf_token and new_csrf_token. CSRF token support was moved to the pluggable pyramid.interfaces.ICSRFStoragePolicy configuration hook.

Changed in version 2.0: Sessions now need to be JSON-serializable. This is more strict than the previous requirement of pickleable objects.

changed()

Mark the session as changed. A user of a session should call this method after he or she mutates a mutable object that is a value of the session (it should not be required after mutating the session itself). For example, if the user has stored a dictionary in the session under the key foo, and he or she does session['foo'] = {}, changed() needn't be called. However, if subsequently he or she does session['foo']['a'] = 1, changed() must be called for the sessioning machinery to notice the mutation of the internal dictionary.

created

Integer representing Epoch time when created.

flash(msg, queue='', allow_duplicate=True)

Push a flash message onto the end of the flash queue represented by queue. An alternate flash message queue can used by passing an optional queue, which must be a string. If allow_duplicate is false, if the msg already exists in the queue, it will not be re-added.

invalidate()

Invalidate the session. The action caused by invalidate is implementation-dependent, but it should have the effect of completely dissociating any data stored in the session with the current request. It might set response values (such as one which clears a cookie), or it might not.

An invalidated session may be used after the call to invalidate with the effect that a new session is created to store the data. This enables workflows requiring an entirely new session, such as in the case of changing privilege levels or preventing fixation attacks.

new

Boolean attribute. If True, the session is new.

peek_flash(queue='')

Peek at a queue in the flash storage. The queue remains in flash storage after this message is called. The queue is returned; it is a list of flash messages added by pyramid.interfaces.ISession.flash()

pop_flash(queue='')

Pop a queue from the flash storage. The queue is removed from flash storage after this message is called. The queue is returned; it is a list of flash messages added by pyramid.interfaces.ISession.flash()

Values computed by the system are passed by the system in the system parameter, which is a dictionary. Keys in the dictionary include: view (the view callable that returned the value), renderer_name (the template name or simple name of the renderer), context (the context object passed to the view), and request (the request object passed to the view).

interface IRequestFactory[source]

Return an empty request object (see pyramid.request.Request.blank())

interface IResponseFactory[source]

A utility which generates a response

__call__(request)

interface IRouter[source]

WSGI application which routes requests to 'view' code based on a view registry.

invoke_request(request)

Invoke the Pyramid request pipeline.

See Request Processing for information on the request pipeline.

The output should be a pyramid.interfaces.IResponse object or a raised exception.

registry

Component architecture registry local to this application.

request_context(environ)

Create a new request context from a WSGI environ.

The request context is used to push/pop the threadlocals required when processing the request. It also contains an initialized pyramid.interfaces.IRequest instance using the registered pyramid.interfaces.IRequestFactory. The context may be used as a context manager to control the threadlocal lifecycle:

with router.request_context(environ) as request:
    ...

Alternatively, the context may be used without the with statement by manually invoking its begin() and end() methods.

ctx = router.request_context(environ)
request = ctx.begin()
try:
    ...
finally:
    ctx.end()
interface IViewMapperFactory[source]
__call__(self, **kw)

Return an object which implements pyramid.interfaces.IViewMapper. kw will be a dictionary containing view-specific arguments, such as permission, predicates, attr, renderer, and other items. An IViewMapperFactory is used by pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view() to provide a plugpoint to extension developers who want to modify potential view callable invocation signatures and response values.

interface IViewMapper[source]
__call__(self, object)

Provided with an arbitrary object (a function, class, or instance), returns a callable with the call signature (context, request). The callable returned should itself return a Response object. An IViewMapper is returned by pyramid.interfaces.IViewMapperFactory.

popitem()

Pop the item with key k from the dictionary and return it as a two-tuple (k, v). If k doesn't exist, raise a KeyError.

setdefault(k, default=None)

Return the existing value for key k in the dictionary. If no value with k exists in the dictionary, set the default value into the dictionary under the k name passed. If a value already existed in the dictionary, return it. If a value did not exist in the dictionary, return the default

update(d)

Update the renderer dictionary with another dictionary d.

values()

Return a list of values from the dictionary

interface IMultiDict[source]

Extends: pyramid.interfaces.IDict

An ordered dictionary that can have multiple values for each key. A multidict adds the methods getall, getone, mixed, extend, add, and dict_of_lists to the normal dictionary interface. A multidict data structure is used as request.POST, request.GET, and request.params within an Pyramid application.

interface IIntrospectable[source]

An introspectable object used for configuration introspection. In addition to the methods below, objects which implement this interface must also implement all the methods of Python's collections.MutableMapping (the "dictionary interface"), and must be hashable.

__hash__()

Introspectables must be hashable. The typical implementation of an introsepectable's __hash__ is:

return hash((self.category_name,) + (self.discriminator,))
action_info

category_name

introspection category name

discriminator

introspectable discriminator (within category) (must be hashable)

discriminator_hash

an integer hash of the discriminator

order

integer order in which registered with introspector (managed by introspector, usually)

register(introspector, action_info)

Register this IIntrospectable with an introspector. This method is invoked during action execution. Adds the introspectable and its relations to the introspector. introspector should be an object implementing IIntrospector. action_info should be a object implementing the interface pyramid.interfaces.IActionInfo representing the call that registered this introspectable. Pseudocode for an implementation of this method:

def register(self, introspector, action_info):
    self.action_info = action_info
    introspector.add(self)
    for methodname, category_name, discriminator in self._relations:
        method = getattr(introspector, methodname)
        method((i.category_name, i.discriminator),
               (category_name, discriminator))
relate(category_name, discriminator)

Indicate an intent to relate this IIntrospectable with another IIntrospectable (the one associated with the category_name and discriminator) during action execution.

title

Text title describing this introspectable

type_name

Text type name describing this introspectable

unrelate(category_name, discriminator)

Indicate an intent to break the relationship between this IIntrospectable with another IIntrospectable (the one associated with the category_name and discriminator) during action execution.

interface IIntrospector[source]
add(intr)

Add the IIntrospectable intr (use instead of pyramid.interfaces.IIntrospector.add() when you have a custom IIntrospectable). Replaces any existing introspectable registered using the same category/discriminator.

This method is not typically called directly, instead it's called indirectly by pyramid.interfaces.IIntrospector.register()

categories()

Return a sorted sequence of category names known by this introspector

categorized(sort_key=None)

Get a sequence of tuples in the form [(category_name, [{'introspectable':IIntrospectable, 'related':[sequence of related IIntrospectables]}, ...])] representing all known introspectables. If sort_key is None, each introspectables sequence will be returned in the order the introspectables were added to the introspector. Otherwise, sort_key should be a function that accepts an IIntrospectable and returns a value from it (ala the key function of Python's sorted callable).

get(category_name, discriminator, default=None)

Get the IIntrospectable related to the category_name and the discriminator (or discriminator hash) discriminator. If it does not exist in the introspector, return the value of default

get_category(category_name, default=None, sort_key=None)

Get a sequence of dictionaries in the form [{'introspectable':IIntrospectable, 'related':[sequence of related IIntrospectables]}, ...] where each introspectable is part of the category associated with category_name .

If the category named category_name does not exist in the introspector the value passed as default will be returned.

If sort_key is None, the sequence will be returned in the order the introspectables were added to the introspector. Otherwise, sort_key should be a function that accepts an IIntrospectable and returns a value from it (ala the key function of Python's sorted callable).

relate(*pairs)

Given any number of (category_name, discriminator) pairs passed as positional arguments, relate the associated introspectables to each other. The introspectable related to each pair must have already been added via .add or .add_intr; a KeyError will result if this is not true. An error will not be raised if any pair has already been associated with another.

This method is not typically called directly, instead it's called indirectly by pyramid.interfaces.IIntrospector.register()

related(intr)

Return a sequence of IIntrospectables related to the IIntrospectable intr. Return the empty sequence if no relations for exist.

remove(category_name, discriminator)

Remove the IIntrospectable related to category_name and discriminator from the introspector, and fix up any relations that the introspectable participates in. This method will not raise an error if an introspectable related to the category name and discriminator does not exist.

unrelate(*pairs)

Given any number of (category_name, discriminator) pairs passed as positional arguments, unrelate the associated introspectables from each other. The introspectable related to each pair must have already been added via .add or .add_intr; a KeyError will result if this is not true. An error will not be raised if any pair is not already related to another.

This method is not typically called directly, instead it's called indirectly by pyramid.interfaces.IIntrospector.register()

interface IActionInfo[source]

Class which provides code introspection capability associated with an action. The ParserInfo class used by ZCML implements the same interface.

__str__()

Return a representation of the action information (including source code from file, if possible)

interface ICacheBuster[source]

A cache buster modifies the URL generation machinery for static_url(). See Cache Busting.

New in version 1.6.

__call__(request, subpath, kw)

Modifies a subpath and/or keyword arguments from which a static asset URL will be computed during URL generation.

The subpath argument is a path of /-delimited segments that represent the portion of the asset URL which is used to find the asset. The kw argument is a dict of keywords that are to be passed eventually to static_url() for URL generation. The return value should be a two-tuple of (subpath, kw) where subpath is the relative URL from where the file is served and kw is the same input argument. The return value should be modified to include the cache bust token in the generated URL.

The kw dictionary contains extra arguments passed to static_url() as well as some extra items that may be usful including:

The pathspec and rawspec values are only different in cases where an asset has been mounted into a virtual location using pyramid.config.Configurator.override_asset(). For example, with a call to request.static_url('myapp:static/foo.png'), the ``pathspec is myapp:static/foo.png whereas the rawspec may be themepkg:bar.png, assuming a call to config.override_asset('myapp:static/foo.png', 'themepkg:bar.png').
