Re: [Twisted-Python] twisted.web split

1 May 2001


      How about splitting it into more files than that? It's a bit easier
generally to navigate and isolate problems, reuse for other things, and
update things. Maybe a file for CGI/epy code, a file for getting files and
such, a file for generating automatic directory listings, etc.

Just my suggestion (though I've only looked at Twisted Python for a few
days now, so maybe that's not a good way to do it?)

Hello, all.
I talked a bit with glyph and radix about splitting twisted.web.
It's over 1500 lines now, and I think it's becoming unmanageable.
Here is how I propose it will be split:
- twisted/web/html.py -- HTML generation helpers
- twisted/web/protocol.py -- Web protocols (HTTP and Gloop, currently)
- twisted/web/resource.py -- Resources.
Specifically:
- twisted/web/resource.py
class Data(Resource):
  class Interface(Resource):
  class FileTransfer:
  class DirectoryListing(Interface):
  class File(Resource):
  class CGIDirectory(Resource):
  class ErrorPage(Interface):
  class NoResource(ErrorPage):
        class ResourceIssue:
  class ResourceSubscription(Resource):
  class PythonScript(Resource):
  class CGIScript(Resource):
  class FilteredScript(CGIScript):
  class PHPScript(FilteredScript):
  class MethodDirectory(Interface):
  class UserDirectory(Interface):
- twisted/web/html.py
def escape(text):
  def PRE(text):
  def output(func, *args, **kw):
  def date_time_string(msSinceEpoch=None):
  def d(**z):
- twisted/web/protocol.py
class HTTP: (might move completely outside)
  class Request(http.HTTPRequestHandler):
  class CGIProcess(net.Process):
  class ResourcePublish(gloop.Handler):
  class ResourcePublisher(gloop.Server, authenticator.SessionManager):
  class HTTPHandler(net.GenericHandler):
  class Server(net.GenericServer, authenticator.SessionManager, config.Configurable):
  class HTTPClient(net.GenericClient, log.Logger):
  class HTTPCallback(HTTPClient):
  class ResourcePublisherClient(gloop.Client, log.Logger):
...
From a simple grep I think I've covered everything.
Anything else that might have slipped should be easy to put somewhere.
