:mod:`repoze.bfg` Glossary
============================
.. glossary::
request
A ``WebOb`` request object.
response
An object that has three attributes: app_iter (representing an
iterable body), headerlist (representing the http headers sent
upstream), and status (representing the http status string). This
is the interface defined for ``WebOb`` response objects.
setuptools
`Setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_
builds on Python's ``distutils`` to provide easier building,
distribution, and installation of packages.
view
A "view" is a callable which returns a response object. It should
accept two values: context and request.
view name
The "URL name" of a view, e.g "index.html". If a view is
configured without a name, its name is considered to be the empty
string (which implies the "default view").
virtualenv
An isolated Python environment. Allows you to control which
packages are used on a particular project by cloning your main
Python. `virtualenv <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_
was created by Ian Bicking.
model
An object representing data in the system. A model is part of the
object graph traversed by the system. Models are traversed to
determine a context.
context
A model in the system that is found during traversal; it becomes
the subject of a view.
application registry
A registry which maps model types to views, as well as performing
other application-specific component registrations.
template
A file that is capable of representing some text when rendered.
interface
An attribute of a model object that determines its type.
security policy
An object that provides a mechanism to check authorization using
authentication data and a permission associated with a model. It
essentially returns "true" if the combination of the authorization
information in the model (e.g. an ACL) and the authentication data
in the request (e.g. the REMOTE_USER) allow the action implied by
the permission associated with the view (e.g. "add").
principal
A user id or group id.
permission
A permission is a string token that is associated with a view name
and a model type by the developer. Models are decorated with
security declarations (e.g. ACLs), which reference these tokens
also. A security policy attempts to match the view permission
against the model's statements about which permissions are granted
to which principal to answer the question "is this user allowed to
do this".
WSGI
`Web Server Gateway Interface <http://wsgi.org/>`_. This is a
Python standard for connecting web applications to web servers,
similar to the concept of Java Servlets.
