116class FactoryBase(grok.GlobalUtility):
117    """A factory for things.
118
119    This is a baseclass for easier creation of factories. Factories
120    are utilities that are registered under a certain name and return
121    instances of certain classes when called.
122
123    In :mod:`waeup.sirp` we use factories extensively for
124    batching. While processing a batch some importer looks up a
125    factory to create real-world instances that then get filled with
126    data from imported CSV files.
127
128    To get rid of reimplementing the same stuff over and over again,
129    most notably the methods defined here, we offer this base class
130    (which will *not* be registered as a factory itself).
131
132    Real factories can then be created like this:
133
134       >>> import grok
135       >>> from waeup.sirp.utils.helpers import FactoryBase
136       >>> class MyObject(object):
137       ...   # Some class we want to get instances of.
138       ...   pass
139       >>> class MyObjectFactory(FactoryBase):
140       ...   # This is the factory for MyObject instances
141       ...   grok.name(u'waeup.sirp.factory.MyObject')
142       ...   factory = MyObject
143
144    That's it. It is essential to set the ``factory`` attribute, which
145    will determine the class of which instances should be created when
146    called. The given name must even be unique amongst all utilities
147    registered during runtime. While you can pick any name you like
148    you might want to prepend ``waeup.sirp.factory.`` to the name
149    string to make sure it does not clash with names of other
150    utilities one day.
151
152    Before all this works we have to grok the baseclass once and our
153    freshly defined factory. This executes all the component
154    registration stuff we don't want to do ourselves. In daily use
155    this is done automatically on startup of a :mod:`waeup.sirp`
156    system.
157   
158       >>> grok.testing.grok('waeup.sirp.utils.helpers')
159       >>> grok.testing.grok_component(
160       ...    'MyObjectFactory', MyObjectFactory
161       ...  )
162       True
163
164    After grokking we (and importers) can create objects without
165    knowing about the location of the real class definition, just by
166    the factory name:
167
168       >>> from zope.component import createObject
169       >>> obj = createObject('waeup.sirp.factory.MyObject')
170       >>> isinstance(obj, MyObject)
171       True
172
173    We can also use the regular utility lookups to find our new
174    factory:
175
176       >>> from zope.component import getUtility
177       >>> from zope.component.interfaces import IFactory
178       >>> factory = getUtility(
179       ...   IFactory, name='waeup.sirp.factory.MyObject'
180       ...   )
181       >>> isinstance(factory, MyObjectFactory)
182       True
183
184    And this factory generates `MyObject` instances:
185
186       >>> obj = factory()
187       >>> isinstance(obj, MyObject)
188       True
