class BaseConfiguration(config_root: Optional[pathlib.Path] = None, filepath: Optional[pathlib.Path] = None, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: abc.ABC

Abstract base class for saving a JSON serializable version of the subclass’s attributes to the disk exported by static_payload, generating an optionally unique filename, and restoring a subclass instance from the written JSON file by passing the deserialized values to the subclass’s constructor.

Implementation:

NAME and def static_payload are required for subclasses, for example:

class MyItem(BaseConfiguration):
    _NAME = 'my-item'

AND

def static_payload(self) -> dict:
    payload = dict(**super().static_payload(), key=value)
    return payload

OR

def static_payload(self) -> dict:
    subclass_payload = {'key': 'value'}
    payload = {**super().static_payload(), **subclass_payload}
    return payload

Filepath Generation

Default behavior avoids overwriting an existing configuration file:

  • The name of the JSON file to write/read from is determined by NAME. When calling to_configuration_file.

  • If the default path (i.e. my-item.json) already exists and, optionally, override is set to False, then a modifer is appended to the name (i.e. my-item-<MODIFIER>.json).

  • If modifier is None and override is False, FileExistsError will be raised.

If the subclass implementation has a global unique identifier, an additional method override to to_configuration_file will automate the renaming process.

def to_configuration_file(*args, **kwargs) -> str:
    filepath = super().to_configuration_file(modifier=<MODIFIER>, *args, **kwargs)
    return filepath

abstract static_payload()dict

Return a dictionary of JSON serializable configuration key/value pairs matching the input specification of this classes __init__.

Recommended subclass implementations:

` payload = dict(**super().static_payload(), key=value) return payload `

OR

` subclass_payload = {'key': 'value'} payload = {**super().static_payload(), **subclass_payload} return payload `

classmethod generate_filename(modifier: str = None)str

Generates the configuration filename with an optional modification string.

Parameters

modifier – String to modify default filename with.

Returns

The generated filepath string.

classmethod default_filepath(config_root: Optional[pathlib.Path] = None)pathlib.Path

Generates the default configuration filepath for the class.

Returns

The generated filepath string

generate_filepath(filepath: Optional[pathlib.Path] = None, modifier: str = None, override: bool = False)pathlib.Path

Generates a filepath for saving to writing to a configuration file.

Default behavior avoids overwriting an existing configuration file:

  • The filepath exists and a filename modifier is not provided, then FileExistsError will be raised.

  • The modified filepath exists, then FileExistsError will be raised.

To allow re-generation of an existing filepath, set override to True.

Parameters
  • filepath – A custom filepath to use for configuration.

  • modifier – A unique string to modify the filename if the file already exists.

  • override – Allow generation of an existing filepath.

Returns

The generated filepath.

Attempts to retrieve reencrypted capsule fragments corresponding to given message kits from Ursulas.

Accepts both “clean” message kits (obtained from a side channel) and “loaded” ones (with earlier retrieved capsule frags attached, along with the addresses of Ursulas they were obtained from).

Returns a list of loaded message kits corresponding to the input list, with the kits containing the capsule fragments obtained during the retrieval. These kits can be used as an external cache to preserve the cfrags between several retrieval attempts.

retrieve_and_decrypt(*args, **kwds) → List[bytes]

Attempts to retrieve reencrypted capsule fragments from Ursulas and decrypt the ciphertexts in the given message kits.

See retrieve() for the parameter list.
