"""This module provides bases for predicates dispatching (the pattern in use
here is similar to what's refered as multi-dispatch or predicate-dispatch in the
literature, though a bit different since the idea is to select across different
implementation 'e.g. classes), not to dispatch a message to a function or
method. It contains the following classes:

* :class:`RegistryStore`, the top level object which loads implementation
  objects and stores them into registries. You'll usually use it to access
  registries and their contained objects;

* :class:`Registry`, the base class which contains objects semantically grouped
  (for instance, sharing a same API, hence the 'implementation' name). You'll
  use it to select the proper implementation according to a context. Notice you
  may use registries on their own without using the store.

.. Note::

  implementation objects are usually designed to be accessed through the
  registry and not by direct instantiation, besides to use it as base classe.

The selection procedure is delegated to a selector, which is responsible for
scoring the object according to some context. At the end of the selection, if an
implementation has been found, an instance of this class is returned. A selector
is built from one or more predicates combined together using AND, OR, NOT
operators (actually `&`, `|` and `~`). You'll thus find some base classes to
build predicates:

* :class:`Predicate`, the abstract base predicate class

* :class:`AndPredicate`, :class:`OrPredicate`, :class:`NotPredicate`, which you
  shouldn't have to use directly. You'll use `&`, `|` and '~' operators between
  predicates directly

* :func:`objectify_predicate`

You'll eventually find one concrete predicate: :class:`yes`

    It handles dynamic registration of objects and provides a

    should be stored into one of the store's registry
    (:class:`Registry`), an object must provide the following
    attributes, used control how they interact with the registry:

    :attr:`__registries__`
      list of registry names (string like 'views', 'templates'...) into which
      the object should be registered

    :attr:`__regid__`
      object identifier in the registry (string like 'main',
      'primary', 'folder_box')

    :attr:`__select__`
      the object predicate selectors

    Moreover, the :attr:`__abstract__` attribute may be set to `True`
    to indicate that an object is abstract and should not be registered
    (such inherited attributes not considered).

    .. Note::

      When using the store to load objects dynamically, you *always* have
      to use **super()** to get the methods and attributes of the
      superclasses, and not use the class identifier. If not, you'll get into
      trouble at reload time.

      For example, instead of writing::

          class Thing(Parent):
              __regid__ = 'athing'
              __select__ = yes()

              def f(self, arg1):
                  Parent.f(self, arg1)

      You must write::

          class Thing(Parent):
              __regid__ = 'athing'
              __select__ = yes()

              def f(self, arg1):
                  super(Thing, self).f(arg1)

    Controlling object registration
    -------------------------------

    Dynamic loading is triggered by calling the
    :meth:`register_objects` method, given a list of directories to
    inspect for python modules.

    .. automethod: register_objects

    For each module, by default, all compatible objects are registered
    automatically. However if some objects come as replacement of
    other objects, or have to be included only if some condition is
    met, you'll have to define a `registration_callback(vreg)`
    function in the module and explicitly register **all objects** in
    this module, using the api defined below.


    .. automethod:: RegistryStore.register_all
    .. automethod:: RegistryStore.register_and_replace
    .. automethod:: RegistryStore.register
    .. automethod:: RegistryStore.unregister

    .. Note::
        Once the function `registration_callback(vreg)` is implemented in a
        module, all the objects from this module have to be explicitly
        registered as it disables the automatic object registration.


    Examples:

    .. sourcecode:: python

       def registration_callback(store):
          # register everything in the module except BabarClass
          store.register_all(globals().values(), __name__, (BabarClass,))

          # conditionally register BabarClass
          if 'babar_relation' in store.schema:
              store.register(BabarClass)

    In this example, we register all application object classes defined in the module
    except `BabarClass`. This class is then registered only if the 'babar_relation'
    relation type is defined in the instance schema.

    .. sourcecode:: python

       def registration_callback(store):
          store.register(Elephant)
          # replace Babar by Celeste
          store.register_and_replace(Celeste, Babar)

    In this example, we explicitly register classes one by one:

    * the `Elephant` class
    * the `Celeste` to replace `Babar`

    If at some point we register a new appobject class in this module, it won't be
    registered at all without modification to the `registration_callback`
    implementation. The first example will register it though, thanks to the call
    to the `register_all` method.

    Controlling registry instantiation
    ----------------------------------

    The `REGISTRY_FACTORY` class dictionary allows to specify which class should
    be instantiated for a given registry name. The class associated to `None`
    key will be the class used when there is no specific class for a name.
