Expression Engine¶

class zope.tales.tales.Context(engine, contexts)[source]¶

Bases: object

Expression engine, an implementation of zope.tal.interfaces.ITALExpressionEngine.

This class is called Context because an instance of this class holds context information (namespaces) that it uses when evaluating compiled expressions.

Parameters:	engine – A `ExpressionEngine` (a `zope.tal.interfaces.ITALExpressionCompiler`) contexts – A mapping (namespace) of variables that forms the base variable scope.

setContext(name, value)[source]¶: Hook to allow subclasses to do things like adding security proxies.

evaluate(expression)[source]¶

Evaluate the expression by calling it, passing in this object, and return the raw results.

If expression is a string, it is first compiled.

evaluateValue(expression)¶

Evaluate the expression by calling it, passing in this object, and return the raw results.

If expression is a string, it is first compiled.

evaluateBoolean(expr)[source]¶: Evaluate the expression and return the boolean value of its result.

evaluateStructure(expression)¶

Evaluate the expression by calling it, passing in this object, and return the raw results.

If expression is a string, it is first compiled.

evaluateMacro(expression)¶

Evaluate the expression by calling it, passing in this object, and return the raw results.

If expression is a string, it is first compiled.

Exceptions¶

A number of exceptions are defined.
