Class e.c.a.Application(BaseApplication):

Part of elisa.core.application View In Hierarchy

Application is the entry point of Elisa. It groups all the necessary elements needed for Elisa to run. It is in charge of instantiating a Config and a PluginRegistry. Application also provides access to input events and data, and holds the user interfaces. It creates various managers (InputManager, MediaManager...), an InterfaceController and a DBBackend.
Instance Variablesplugin_registryloads and manages the plugins (type: elisa.core.plugin_registry.PluginRegistry )

def __init__(self, config_filename=None, show_tracebacks=False, splash=None):
Parametersconfig_filenamethe config filename to use. Can be absolute or relative path (type: string or None to use default config file )
def log_traceback(self):
Log the traceback without stopping the process. This could ususally be used in parts, where you want to go on and log the exception. Example:
   try:
       component.initialize()
   except:
       # and log all the other exceptions
       path = application.log_traceback()
       self.warning("Initilize Component '%s' failed. Traceback saved at %s" % path)
   self.going_on()
Returnspath to the file, where the traceback got logged
def log_failure(self, failure):
Log the twisted failure without re-raising the exception. Example in an errback:
   def errback(failure):
       path = application.log_failure(failure)
       self.warning("Connection refused. Full output at %s" % path)
       return
Parametersfailurethe failure to log (type: twisted.python.failure.Failure )
Returnspath to the file, where the traceback got logged
def initialize(self):
Load the providers for the different managers, then initialize the interface_controller.
def initialize_db(self):
initialize the database depending on the configuration
def start(self):
Execute the application. Start the Managers and the InterfaceController.
def stop(self, stop_reactor=True):
Stop the application.
Parametersstop_reactorstop the reactor after stopping the application (type: bool )
Returns (type: twisted.internet.defer.Deferred )
