"""Python CIM Providers (aka "nirvana")

This module is an abstraction and utility layer between a CIMOM and 
Python providers.  The CIMOM uses this module to load Python providers, 
and route requests to those providers.  

Python Provider Modules

    Python Providers are implemented as Python modules.  By convention
    these modules are installed into /usr/lib/pycim.  However, they can 
    be anywhere.  These modules are loaded on demand using load_module() 
    from the imp module.  The CIMOM's pycim interface stores the timestamp 
    of the provider modules.  If the modules change, the CIMOM reloads the 
    modules.  This is very useful while developing providers, since the 
    latest code will always be loaded and used. 

    A Python Provider Module will contain functions, attributes, and 
    instances that will be accessed and manipulated by this module.  

    Providers are often classified in the following catagories:
        Instance -- Instrument the retrieval, creation, modification, 
            and deletion of CIM instances. 
        Association -- Instrument CIM associations (CIM classes with the
            Association qualifier). 
        Method -- Instrument methods as defined on CIM instances or CIM
            classes. 
        Indication -- Generates indications based on indication 
            subscriptions. 
        Indication Consumer -- "Consumes" (or "Handles") an indication, 
            possibly delivering it through some other means, such as email. 
        Polled -- A polled provider is allowed to run periodically (by 
            calling its poll function).  This allows a provider to do some
            periodic work, without the need to create its own thread.  

    An Instance, Association, and/or Method provider is created by defining
    one or more subclasses of CIMProvider2 within the provider module, and
    registering instances of the subclass(es) with CIM class names by way 
    of the get_providers function (described below).  Refer to 
    the documentation for CIMProvider2 in this module. 

    Indication, Indication Consumer, and Polled providers are defined by 
    implementing some functions within the provider module. 

    Provider module functions: 
        init(env):
            This module function is optional.  It is called immediately 
            after the provider module is imported.  

            Arguments:
            env -- Provider Environment (pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment)

        get_providers(env):
            Return a dict that maps CIM class names to instances of 
            CIMProvider2 subclasses.  Note that multiple classes can be 
            instrumented by the same instance of a CIMProvider2 subclass.  
            The CIM class names are case-insensitive, since this dict is
            converted to a NocaseDict. 

            Arguments:
            env -- Provider Environment (pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment)
           
            For example, a Python Provider Module may contain the following:

                class Py_FooBarProvider(CIMProvider2):
                    ...

                def get_providers(env):
                    _fbp = Py_FooBarProvider()
                    return {'Py_Foo':_fbp, 'Py_Bar':_fbp}

        can_unload(env):
            Return True if the provider can be unloaded.

            The CIMOM may try to unload a provider after a period of inactivity.
            Before unloading a provider, the CIMOM asks the provider if it can 
            be unloaded.  

            Arguments:
            env -- Provider Environment (pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment)

        shutdown(env):
            Perform any cleanup tasks prior to being unloaded.

            The provider will shortly be unloaded, and is given an opportunity
            to perform any needed cleanup.  The provider may be unloaded after
            a period of inactivity (see the documentation for can_unload), or
            because the CIMOM is shutting down. 

            Arguments:
            env -- Provider Environment (pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment)

        handle_indication(env, ns, handler_instance, indication_instance):
            Process an indication.

            Arguments:
            env -- Provider Environment (pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment)
            ns -- The namespace where the event occurred
            handler_instance -- 
            indication_instance -- The indication

        authorize_filter (env, filter, ns, classes, 
                         owner):
            Allow or disallow an indication subscription request.
            
            Arguments:
            env -- Provider Environment (pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment)
            filter -- The WQL select statement
            namespace -- The namepace where the indication is registered for 
            classes -- The classpath of the indication registered for

Provider Environment
    
    A pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment is passed to many functions.  This is 
    a handle back into the CIMOM.  You can use it for logging and for
    making "up-calls" to the CIMOM.  For example: 
        
        logger = env.get_logger()
        logger.log_debug('Debug Info')

        ch = env.get_cimom_handle()
        other_inst = ch.GetInstance(inst_path, LocalOnly=False,
                                    IncludeQualifiers=False,
                                    IncludeClassOrigin=False)

    The API of the pycimmb.CIMOMHandle resembles that of 
    pywbem.WBEMConnection.  

    For more information on the ProviderEnvironments, and other features
    provided by pycimmb, refer to the pycimmb documentation. 

CodeGen

    The codegen function can be used to generate provider stub code for a 
    given CIM class.  This is a quick way to get started writing a provider.

class CIMProvider2(object):
    """Base class for CIM Providers.  

    A derived class might normally override the following: 
    - enum_instances
    - get_instance
    - set_instance
    - delete_instance
    - references

    If the provider is a "read-only" instance provider, set_instance and 
    delete_instance need not be overridden. 

    Only association providers need to override references. 

    A method provider should implement a method of the form:
        def cim_method_<method_name>(self, env, object_name, method,
                                     param_<input_param_1>,
                                     param_<input_param_2>,
                                     ...):
        Where <method_name> is the name of the method from the CIM schema.  
        <method_name> needs to be all lowercase, regardless of the case of 
        the method name in the CIM schema (CIM method names are case 
        insensitive). 

        Keyword arguments:
        env -- Provider Environment (pycimmb.ProviderEnvironment)
        object_name -- A pywbem.CIMInstanceName or pywbem.CIMClassname 
            specifying the object on which the method is to be invoked. 
        method -- A pywbem.CIMMethod, representing the method to execute. 
        param_<param_name> -- Corresponds to the input parameter <param_name> 
            from the CIM schema.  <param_name> needs to be all lowercase, 
            regardless of the case of the parameter name in the CIM schema
            (CIM parameter names are case insensitive). 

        The method returns a two-tuple containing the return value of the 
        method, and a dictionary containing the output parameters. 

    Example:
        def cim_method_requeststatechange(self, env, object_name, method,
                                          param_requestedstate,
                                          param_timeoutperiod):
            # do stuff. 
            out_params = {'job': pywbem.CIMInstanceName(...)}
            rval = pywbem.Uint32(0)
            return (rval, out_params)

    The methods prefixed with "MI_" correspond to the WBEM operations 
    from http://www.dmtf.org/standards/published_documents/DSP200.html
    The default implementations of these methods call the methods 
    described above.  These will not normally be overridden or extended 
    by a subclass.
