127class FactoryBase(grok.GlobalUtility):
128    """A factory for things.
129
130    This is a baseclass for easier creation of factories. Factories
131    are utilities that are registered under a certain name and return
132    instances of certain classes when called.
133
134    In :mod:`waeup.sirp` we use factories extensively for
135    batching. While processing a batch some importer looks up a
136    factory to create real-world instances that then get filled with
137    data from imported CSV files.
138
139    To get rid of reimplementing the same stuff over and over again,
140    most notably the methods defined here, we offer this base class
141    (which will *not* be registered as a factory itself).
142
143    Real factories can then be created like this:
144
145       >>> import grok
146       >>> from waeup.sirp.utils.helpers import FactoryBase
147       >>> class MyObject(object):
148       ...   # Some class we want to get instances of.
149       ...   pass
150       >>> class MyObjectFactory(FactoryBase):
151       ...   # This is the factory for MyObject instances
152       ...   grok.name(u'waeup.sirp.factory.MyObject')
153       ...   factory = MyObject
154
155    That's it. It is essential to set the ``factory`` attribute, which
156    will determine the class of which instances should be created when
157    called. The given name must even be unique amongst all utilities
158    registered during runtime. While you can pick any name you like
159    you might want to prepend ``waeup.sirp.factory.`` to the name
160    string to make sure it does not clash with names of other
161    utilities one day.
162
163    Before all this works we have to grok the baseclass once and our
164    freshly defined factory. This executes all the component
165    registration stuff we don't want to do ourselves. In daily use
166    this is done automatically on startup of a :mod:`waeup.sirp`
167    system.
168
169       >>> grok.testing.grok('waeup.sirp.utils.helpers')
170       >>> grok.testing.grok_component(
171       ...    'MyObjectFactory', MyObjectFactory
172       ...  )
173       True
174
175    After grokking we (and importers) can create objects without
176    knowing about the location of the real class definition, just by
177    the factory name:
178
179       >>> from zope.component import createObject
180       >>> obj = createObject('waeup.sirp.factory.MyObject')
181       >>> isinstance(obj, MyObject)
182       True
183
184    We can also use the regular utility lookups to find our new
185    factory:
186
187       >>> from zope.component import getUtility
188       >>> from zope.component.interfaces import IFactory
189       >>> factory = getUtility(
190       ...   IFactory, name='waeup.sirp.factory.MyObject'
191       ...   )
192       >>> isinstance(factory, MyObjectFactory)
193       True
194
195    And this factory generates `MyObject` instances:
196
197       >>> obj = factory()
198       >>> isinstance(obj, MyObject)
199       True
