Package bw :: Package poseidon :: Module neurons :: Class N

Class N

object --+
         |
        N

This is the superclass which represents all neurons. All neurons have:

A 128-bit (16 byte) UUID stored as a 16-byte string
A certificate which is a pair of timestamps (created, accessed)
A dictionary of additional metadata which is initialized to None.

This implies that links can also contain metadata.

Instance Methods

get_id(self)
Returns a 32 character hex (ascii compatible) representation of the id.

get_raw_id(self)
Returns the 16 byte raw representation of the id.

modify(self)
Modify the last-accessed timestamp to the current timestamp

getCurrentData(self)

dictionary(self)

__init__(self, i, c, d)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

__hash__(self)
hash(x)

Method Details

get_id(self)

Returns a 32 character hex (ascii compatible) representation of the id. It is prefixed by an '!' and can safely be passed to the client.

Warning: Calling this method frequently can be slow. It is recommended that the user save the hex-representation in a local variable instead.

getCurrentData(self)

Deprecated: Not used anymore

init(self, i, c, d)
(Constructor)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Overrides: object.__init__: (inherited documentation)

hash(self)
