One of them is the global component registry, and there is also the concept of a currently used component registry. Component registries other than the global one are associated with objects called sites. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zope.component.hooks</span></code> module provides an API to set and access the current site as well as manipulate the adapter hook associated with it.</p> <p>As long as we haven’t set a site, none is being considered current:</p> <p>We can also ask for the current component registry (aka site manager historically); it will return the global one if no current site is set:</p> <p>Let’s set a site now. A site has to be an object that provides the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getSiteManager</span></code> method, which is specified by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zope.component.interfaces.IPossibleSite</span></code>:</p> <p>After this, the newly set site is considered the currently active one:</p> <p>If we set another site, that one will be considered current:</p> <p>Finally we can unset the site and the global component registry is used again:</p> <div class="section" id="context-manager"> <h2>Context manager<a class="headerlink" href="#context-manager" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>There also is a context manager for setting the site, which is especially useful when writing tests:</p> <p>The site is properly restored even if the body of the with statement raises an exception:</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sphinxsidebar" role="navigation" aria-label="main navigation"> <div class="sphinxsidebarwrapper"> <h1 class="logo"><a href="index.html">zope.component</a></h1> <h3>Navigation</h3> <ul class="current"> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="narr.html">Zope Component Architecture</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="socketexample.html">The Zope 3 Component Architecture (Socket Example)</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="event.html">Events</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="factory.html">Factories</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="persistentregistry.html">Persistent Component Management</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="zcml.html">ZCML directives</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="configure.html">Package configuration</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1 current"><a class="current reference internal" href="#">The current component registry</a><ul> <li class="toctree-l2"><a class="reference internal" href="#context-manager">Context manager</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="testlayer.html">Layers</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="api.html"><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zope.component</span></code> API Reference</a></li> <li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="hacking.html">Hacking on <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zope.component</span></code></a></li> </ul> <div class="relations"> <h3>Related Topics</h3> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Documentation overview</a><ul> <li>Previous: <a href="configure.html" title="previous chapter">Package configuration</a></li> <li>Next: <a href="testlayer.html" title="next chapter">Layers</a></li> </ul></li> </ul> </div> <div id="searchbox" style="display: none" role="search"> <h3>Quick search</h3> <div class="searchformwrapper"> <form class="search" action="search.html" method="get"> <input type="text" name="q" /> <input type="submit" value="Go" /> <input type="hidden" name="check_keywords" value="yes" /> <input type="hidden" name="area" value="default" /> </form> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript">$('#searchbox').show(0);</script> </div> </div> <div class="clearer"></div> </div> <div class="footer"> ©Zope Foundation and Contributors. | Powered by <a href="http://sphinx-doc.org/">Sphinx 1.8.3</a> & <a href="https://github.com/bitprophet/alabaster">Alabaster 0.7.8</a> | <a href="_sources/hooks.rst.txt" rel="nofollow">Page source</a> </div> </body> </html>
