Pipelines Framework A Zope 3 package which allows a site developer to specify a series of "filter" operations as a "pipeline". Each filter is a function or callable which takes an "context" object and a "state" object; the state object allows the filters to assign attributes to it, which may not be possible with the context object (e.g., it might be a new-style class with slots). Installing the Package For use outside Zope, the standard distutils dance applies:: $ /path/to/python setup.py install For use within Zope, you should install the package either to your 'site-packages' directory (as above) or to the 'lib/python' directory of your instance, e.g.:: $ /path/to/python setup.py install \ --install-lib=/path/to/instance/lib/python You then need to create ZCML which creates your pipelines, and registers them as utilities and / or event subscribers. (see the file, 'example/configure.zcml' for more details).
