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