Description:

pyramidservices 2.2

The core of a service layer that integrates with the
Pyramid Web Framework.
pyramid_services defines a pattern and helper methods for accessing a
pluggable service layer from within your Pyramid apps.

Installation
Install from PyPI using
pip or easy_install inside a virtual environment.
$ $VENV/bin/pip install pyramid_services
Or install directly from source.
$ git clone https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_services.git
$ cd pyramid_services
$ $VENV/bin/pip install -e .

Setup
Activate pyramid_services by including it into your pyramid application.
config.include('pyramid_services')
This will add some new directives to your Configurator.

config.register_service(obj, iface=Interface, context=Interface, name='')
This method will register a service object for the supplied
iface, context, and name. This effectively registers a
singleton for your application as the obj will always be returned when
looking for a service.

config.register_service_factory(factory, iface=Interface, context=Interface, name='')
This method will register a factory for the supplied iface,
context, and name. The factory should be a callable accepting a
context and a request and should return a service object. The
factory will be used at most once per request/context/name
combination.

config.set_service_registry(registry)
This method will let you set a custom wired.ServiceRegistry instance
which is the backing registry for all services.

Usage
After registering services with the Configurator, they are now
accessible from the request object during a request lifecycle via the
request.find_service(iface=Interface, context=_marker, name='')
method. Unless a custom context is passed to find_service, the
lookup will default to using request.context. The context will default
to None if a service is searched for during or before traversal in Pyramid
when there may not be a request.context.
svc = request.find_service(ILoginService)

Registering per-request services
Some services (like your database connection) may need a transaction manager
and the best way to do that is by using pyramid_tm and hooking the
request.tm transaction manager into your service container. The
request object itself is already added to the container for the
pyramid.interfaces.IRequest interface and can be used in factories that
require the request.
This can be done before any services are instantiated by subscribing to the
pyramid_services.NewServiceContainer event:
from pyramid_services import NewServiceContainer

def on_new_container(event):
container = event.container
request = event.request
container.set(request.tm, name='tm')

config.add_subscriber(on_new_container, NewServiceContainer)

Examples
Let’s create a login service by progressively building up from scratch what
we want to use in our app.
Basically all of the steps in configuring an interface are optional, but
they are shown here as best practices.
# myapp/interfaces.py

from zope.interface import Interface

class ILoginService(Interface):
def create_token_for_login(name):
pass
With our interface we can now define a conforming instance.
# myapp/services.py

class DummyLoginService(object):
def create_token_for_login(self, name):
return 'u:{0}'.format(name)
Let’s hook it up to our application.
# myapp/main.py

from pyramid.config import Configurator

from myapp.services import DummyLoginService

def main(global_config, **settings):
config = Configurator()
config.include('pyramid_services')

config.register_service(DummyLoginService(), ILoginService)

config.add_route('home', '/')
config.scan('.views')
return config.make_wsgi_app()
Finally, let’s create our view that utilizes the service.
# myapp/views.py

@view_config(route_name='home', renderer='json')
def home_view(request):
name = request.params.get('name', 'bob')

login_svc = request.find_service(ILoginService)
token = login_svc.create_token_for_login(name)

return {'access_token': token}
If you start up this application, you will find that you can access
the home url and get custom tokens!
This is cool, but what’s even better is swapping in a new service without
changing our view at all. Let’s define a new PersistentLoginService
that gets tokens from a database. We’re going to need to setup some
database handling, but again nothing changes in the view.
# myapp/services.py

from uuid import uuid4

from myapp.model import AccessToken

class PersistentLoginService(object):
def __init__(self, dbsession):
self.dbsession = dbsession

def create_token_for_login(self, name):
token = AccessToken(key=uuid4(), user=name)
self.dbsession.add(token)
return token.key
Below is some boilerplate for configuring a model using the excellent
SQLAlchemy ORM.
# myapp/model.py

from sqlalchemy import engine_from_config
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.schema import Column
from sqlalchemy.types import Text

Base = declarative_base()

def init_model(settings):
engine = engine_from_config(settings)
dbmaker = sessionmaker()
dbmaker.configure(bind=engine)
return dbmaker

class AccessToken(Base):
__tablename__ = 'access_token'

key = Column(Text, primary_key=True)
user = Column(Text, nullable=False)
Now we will update the application to use the new PersistentLoginService.
However, we may have other services and it’d be silly to create a new
database connection for each service in a request. So we’ll also add a
service that encapsulates the database connection. Using this technique
we can wire services together in the service layer.
# myapp/main.py

from pyramid.config import Configurator
import transaction
import zope.sqlalchemy

from myapp.model import init_model
from myapp.services import PersistentLoginService

def main(global_config, **settings):
config = Configurator()
config.include('pyramid_services')
config.include('pyramid_tm')

dbmaker = init_model(settings)

def dbsession_factory(context, request):
dbsession = dbmaker()
# register the session with pyramid_tm for managing transactions
zope.sqlalchemy.register(dbsession, transaction_manager=request.tm)
return dbsession

config.register_service_factory(dbsession_factory, name='db')

def login_factory(context, request):
dbsession = request.find_service(name='db')
svc = PersistentLoginService(dbsession)
return svc

config.register_service_factory(login_factory, ILoginService)

config.add_route('home', '/')
config.scan('.views')
return config.make_wsgi_app()
And finally the home view will remain unchanged.
# myapp/views.py

@view_config(route_name='home', renderer='json')
def home_view(request):
name = request.params.get('name', 'bob')

login_svc = request.find_service(ILoginService)
token = login_svc.create_token_for_login(name)

return {'access_token': token}
Hopefully this pattern is clear. It has several advantages over most basic
Pyramid tutorials.

The model is completely abstracted from the views, making both easy to
test on their own.
The service layer can be developed independently of the views, allowing
for dummy implementations for easy creation of templates and frontend
logic. Later, the real service layer can be swapped in as it’s developed,
building out the backend functionality.
Most services may be implemented in such a way that they do not depend on
Pyramid or a particular request object.
Different services may be returned based on a context, such as the
result of traversal or some other application-defined discriminator.

Testing Examples
If you are writing an application that uses pyramid_services you may want
to do some integration testing that verifies that your application has
successfully called register_service or register_service_factory. Using
Pyramid’s testing module to create a Configurator and after calling
config.include('pyramid_services') you may use find_service_factory to
get information about a registered service.
Take as an example this test that verifies that dbsession_factory has been
correctly registered. This assumes you have a myapp.services package that
contains an includeme() function.
# myapp/tests/test_integration.py

from myapp.services import dbsession_factory, login_factory, ILoginService

class TestIntegration_services(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.config = pyramid.testing.setUp()
self.config.include('pyramid_services')
self.config.include('myapp.services')

def tearDown(self):
pyramid.testing.tearDown()

def test_db_maker(self):
result = self.config.find_service_factory(name='db')
self.assertEqual(result, dbsession_factory)

def test_login_factory(self):
result = self.config.find_service_factory(ILoginService)
self.assertEqual(result, login_factory)

2.2 (2019-04-22)

Depend on wired >= 0.2 to use the new
wired.ServiceContainer.register_singleton api.

2.1 (2018-08-03)

Add a NewServiceContainer event that is emitted when the service
container is created before any calls to request.find_service.

2.0 (2018-08-03)

Drop support for Python 2.7.
Replace service lookup with https://wired.readthedocs.io under the hood.
Fixes service lookup with custom contexts such that the context is passed
through to nested service lookups.

1.1 (2017-05-31)
Features

If the iface is a class then it must be the exact class that was
registered originally. Subclasses are not identified as implementing
the same interface at this time due to internal limitations.

1.0 (2017-05-11)

Features

Allow the iface argument to be an arbitrary Python object / class.
See https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_services/pull/10

Backward Incompatibilities

Drop Python 2.6 and Python 3.3 support.

0.4 (2016-02-03)
Backward Incompatibilities

Drop Python 3.2 support.
Use the original service context interface as the cache key instead
of the current context. This means the service will be properly created
only once for any context satisfying the original interface.
Previously, if you requested the same service from 2 different contexts
in the same request you would receive 2 service objects, instead of
a cached version of the original service, assuming the service was
registered to satisfy both contexts.
See https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_services/pull/12

0.3 (2015-12-13)

When using request.find_service during or before traversal the
request.context is not valid. In these situations the context
parameter will default to None instead of raising an exception.
See https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_services/pull/8
Add config.find_service_factory and request.find_service_factory.
See https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_services/pull/4

0.2 (2015-03-13)

Change find_service(..., context=None) to use a context of None.
Previously this would fallback to using request.context if the
context was None. Now find_service will only fallback to
request.context when no context argument is specified.
See https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_services/pull/3
Support introspectable for services so that they show up in the
pyramid_debugtoolbar and elsewhere.
See https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_services/pull/2

0.1.1 (2015-02-17)

Support for request.find_service, config.register_service, and
config.register_service_factory.
