entry_points¶
Load plugins through entry points.
This module deals with handling all plugged in strategies through the entry points API and importlib metadata API.
Special functionality is put in place to handle the OTE-API-specific entry points.
Since the entry points are information complete in and of themselves, there is no need to import actual strategy classes until they are truly needed. This therefore implements lazy loading of all plugin strategies.
EntryPointNotFound
¶
Bases: Exception
A given strategy implementation (class) cannot be found from the given entry point value.

EntryPointStrategy
¶
Note
It may be that in the future an entry points strategy is made unique by
its "full name" instead, i.e., the entry point group + the entry points name,
e.g., oteapi.download:oteapi.https
.
This value can be retrieved from the
full_name
property.
This is a condition for uniqueness that is considered to be a superset of the current condition for uniqueness. It adds an extra package-specific uniqueness trait, allowing for different packages to implement the same strategies (which is currently not allowed according to the condition of uniqueness explained above).
Currently there is no consensus on the API for handling this added strategy ambiguity.
A strategy realized from an entry point.
An entry point strategy is made unique by its "strategy", i.e., its
(strategy type, strategy name)-tuple, e.g., ("download", "https")
.
This tuple can be retrieved from the
strategy
property,
where the strategy type is represented by the
StrategyType
enumeration.
Raises:
Type | Description |
---|---|
ValueError
|
If the entry point name is not properly defined. |

__lt__(self, other)
¶
Whether or not self
is less than (<
) other
.
This is implemented to allow sorting (using sorted()
).
The inequality is determined on the basis of the following properties:
Going from highest priority to lowest and in alphabetical ascending order.

_load_implementation(self)
¶
Load the strategy implementation.
Because the actual importing of the module does not happen until this method is called, we are lazily loading in the strategy implementation.
There is no need to check through the globals()
built-in for whether the
module and class have already been imported, because this caching layer is
already implemented in the importlib
API.
Raises:
Type | Description |
---|---|
EntryPointNotFound
|
If the strategy implementation (class) the entry point is pointing to cannot be found in the module or if the module cannot be imported. |
Returns:
Type | Description |
---|---|
'Type[IStrategy]'
|
The imported strategy implementation (class). |
