        EventType

Wraps the AT-SPI event type string so its components can be accessed individually as klass (can't use the keyword class), major, minor, and detail (klass:major:minor:detail).

Note: All attributes of an instance of this class should be considered public readable as it is acting a a struct.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, name)
Parses the full AT-SPI event name into its components (klass:major:minor:detail).

source code

string

__str__(self)
Returns: Full event name as human readable representation of this event type

source code

string

asString(self)
Builds a human readable representation of the event type.

source code

Inherited from object: __delattr__, __getattribute__, __hash__, __new__, __reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __repr__, __setattr__

Class Variables

Method Details

[hide private]

init(self, name)
(Constructor)

source code

Parses the full AT-SPI event name into its components (klass:major:minor:detail). If the provided event name is an integer instead of a string, then the event is really a device event. An exception is raised in this case so Event knows to convert the device event integer constant to a keyboard event name string.

Parameters:

name (string) - Full AT-SPI event name

Raises:

AttributeError - When the given event name is not a valid string

Overrides: object.__init__

str(self)
(Informal representation operator)

source code

str(x)

Returns: string: Full event name as human readable representation of this event type
Overrides: object.__str__

asString(self)

source code

Builds a human readable representation of the event type.

Returns: string: Event type description
