Method Details

### __init__(self, perspectiveName, identityName='Nobody')
(Constructor)

Create me.

I require a name for myself and a reference to the service I participate in. (My identity name will be 'Nobody' by default, which will normally not resolve.)

  Overrides:
    `twisted.cred.perspective.Perspective.__init__` (inherited documentation)

### attached(self, client, identity)

A client has attached -- welcome them and add them to the list.

### console(self, message)

Pass a message to my clients' console.

### perspective_do(self, expr)

Evaluate the given expression, with output to the console.

The result is stored in the local variable '_', and its repr() string is sent to the console as a "result" message.

### perspective_explore(self, identifier)

Browse the object obtained by evaluating the identifier.

The resulting ObjectLink is passed back through the client's receiveBrowserObject method.

### perspective_watch(self, identifier)

Watch the object obtained by evaluating the identifier.

Whenever I think this object might have changed, I will pass an ObjectLink of it back to the client's receiveBrowserObject method.

### receiveExplorer(self, objectLink)

Pass an Explorer on to my clients.

### runInConsole(self, command, *args, **kw)

Convience method to "runInConsole with my stuff".

### setService(self, service)

Change what service I am a part of.

  Overrides:
    `twisted.cred.perspective.Perspective.setService` (inherited documentation)
