August'24: Kamaelia is in maintenance mode and will recieve periodic updates, about twice a year, primarily targeted around Python 3 and ecosystem compatibility. PRs are always welcome. Latest Release: 1.14.32 (2024/3/24)
For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.
SNACExchanger() -> component that has methods specialized for sending and receiving FLAPs over Channel 2 (FLAPs whose payloads are SNACs).
For a more thorough discussion on SNACs, see module level docs.
Warning!
You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature
receives FLAPs containing SNACs and parses the SNAC data.
constructs a SNAC by calling self.makeSnac and sends it out the "outbox".
FIXME: It would be extremely helpful to have a predefined set of SNAC constants or perhaps even classes to pass to this method. For example, self.sendSnac(04, 06, data) is a lot less clear than something like self.sendSnac(MESSAGE_TO_USER, data).
Yields 1 until a SNAC of the requested family and subtype is received. The last value yielded is the payload of the requested SNAC.
The body of the requested SNAC will be assigned to "result".
Got a problem with the documentation? Something unclear that could be clearer? Want to help improve it? Constructive criticism is very welcome - especially if you can suggest a better rewording!
Please leave you feedback here in reply to the documentation thread in the Kamaelia blog.
