Class PlainConsole

java.lang.Object

org.python.core.PlainConsole

All Implemented Interfaces:

Console

Direct Known Subclasses:

JLineConsole

public class PlainConsole
extends Object
implements Console

A base class for classes that can install a console wrapper for a specific console-handling library. The Jython command-line application, when it detects that the console is an interactive session, chooses and installs a class named in registry item python.console, and implementing interface Console. PlainConsole may be selected by the user through that registry, and is the default console when the selected one fails to load. It will also be installed by the Jython command-line application when in non-interactive mode.

Unlike some consoles, PlainConsole does not install a replacement for System.in or System.out, or use a native library. It prompts on System.out and reads from System.in (wrapped with the console encoding).

Constructor Detail

PlainConsole

public PlainConsole(String encoding)
             throws IllegalCharsetNameException,
                    UnsupportedCharsetException

Construct an instance of the console class specifying the character encoding. This encoding must be one supported by the JVM. The PlainConsole does not replace System.in or System.out, and does not add any line-editing capability to what is standard for your OS console.

Parameters:

encoding - name of a supported encoding or null for Charset.defaultCharset()

Throws:

IllegalCharsetNameException

UnsupportedCharsetException

Method Detail

install

public void install()

Description copied from interface: Console

Complete initialization and (optionally) install a stream object with line-editing as the replacement for System.in.

Specified by:

install in interface Console

uninstall

public void uninstall()
               throws UnsupportedOperationException

A PlainConsole may be uninstalled. This method assumes any sub-class may not be uninstalled. Sub-classes that permit themselves to be uninstalled must override (and not call) this method.

Specified by:

uninstall in interface Console

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - unless this class is exactly PlainConsole

getEncoding

public String getEncoding()

Description copied from interface: Console

Name of the encoding, normally supplied during initialisation, and used for line input. This may not be the cononoical name of the codec returned by Console.getEncodingCharset().

Specified by:

getEncoding in interface Console

Returns:

name of the encoding in use.

getEncodingCharset

public Charset getEncodingCharset()

Description copied from interface: Console

Accessor for encoding to use for line input as a Charset.

Specified by:

getEncodingCharset in interface Console

Returns:

Charset of the encoding in use.
