Latest version: python-aspects-1.3.tar.gz
You may find it more convenient to install the python-aspects
from
(If you know some other sources, please let me know so I can
update the list)
Aspects library is released under LGPL 2.1.
Installing
Download the package, extract it and run
python setup.py install
Using the library in your software
It is recommended that your software depends on the aspects library
and uses the library that is installed to the system. However, if you
need to distribute your software in a self-contained package, just add
aspects.py to your libraries. Remember to include the LGPL license in
the package and prepare to provide the aspects.py library source code
(as required by the license).
Version history
python-aspects-1.3.tar.gz released in
October, 2008. What's new:
- with_wrap(w, instance.method) wraps the execution
of the method only when it is bound to the
instance. That is, the result is equal to
wrapping
with_wrap(w, class_of_instance.method, instances=[instance])
Thanks to Leandro Rodrigo Saad Cruz
for pointing out a bug in the handling of bound methods.
- GNUmakefile uses the PYTHON environment
variable. That is, you can run the unit tests and install the
aspects library to different Pythons as follows:
PYTHON=python2.4 make check
PYTHON=python2.5 make check
PYTHON=python2.6 make check
PYTHON=python2.5 make install
PYTHON=python2.6 make install
python-aspects-1.2.tar.gz released in
October, 2008. What's new:
- without_wrap() function for removing arbitrary
wraps around functions or methods. This works for new-style wraps
only. So far, only the topmost wraps could be peeled.
aspects-1.1.tar.gz released in
April, 2008. What's new:
- Built-in function wrapping improved (fixes a bug in finding a built-in module)
aspects-1.0.tar.gz released in
September, 2007. What's new:
- with_wrap() function for new-style wraps.
Furthermore, package was changed to be more friendly for both users and developers
- GNUmakefile included for
- execution of unit tests (make check)
- creation of distribution package (make dist)
- installation (make install)
- clean-up (make clean)
- New unit tests
- setup.py included for standard installation and
distribution package creation.
aspects-0.6.tar.gz released in
June, 2007. What's new:
- Thread safety. Multithreading was not considered in
__proceed, wrap_around and
peel_around functions before this release. For thread
safety, it was necessary to replace a single class variable
__proceed_stack with a separate stack for every
thread. Thus, self.__proceed_stack is no more a list,
but it is a function that returns the stack (of list type) of the
thread in which it was called. Therefore, those advices that use
the stack do not work anymore (like the tracer example). However,
everything should work again if you substitute
__proceed_stack for __proceed_stack(). I'm
grateful to Miguel Branco at CERN for his contribution!
- Updated examples.
- Performance of disabled advices optimized.
aspects-0.5.tar.gz released in
April, 2007. What's new:
- wrap_around(method, advice, instances=[]) can be
given a list of instances whose method calls will be wrapped. The
advice is omitted if the method is called for other instances. (In
the implementation, the instance is identified with id()
function.)
aspects-0.4.tar.gz released in
March, 2007. What's new:
- wrap_around(method, advice) returns the number of
the new wrap made from the advice on the method. Numbering starts
from zero.
- enable_wrap(method, wrapnum) and
disable_wrap(method, wrapnum) switch wraps on and
off. If a wrap is disabled when the method is called, the
associated advice is not executed.
- wrap_is_enabled(method, wrapnum) returns 1 (0) when
the wrap is enabled (disabled).
- wrap_count(method) returns the number of wraps on
the method. You can, for example, disable all wraps by executing:
for i in range(wrap_count(m)): disable_wrap(m,i)
- unit tests have been moved to aspects_test.py
file. Tests passed with Python ("CPython") versions 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 and
2.5. Other versions have not been tested.
aspects-0.3.tar.gz released in
May, 2006. Nothing is changed in the library itself, but the type
checking example is extended to support also checking the types of
keyword arguments. (Thanks to Pedro Salgado for his contribution
on this.)
New version, 0.2, of the aspects library, aspects-0.2.tar.gz has been released
in November, 2004. Changes:
- the new version of the library has been released under GNU Lesser General
Public License. LGPL will be used in the later releases.
- wrap_around_re(class, method-name-regexp, advice) has been
added to the library. (Thanks to Tiago Cogumbreiro!)
- an example of implementing type checking with aspects has been
added to the package
- now private methods can be wrapped
The first release in August, 2003: aspects.tar.gz.
