utils

Utility functions

class camelot.core.utils.CollectionGetterFromObjectGetter(object_getter)

Convert an object getter to a collection getter. The resulting class is callable and will make sure object_getter is only called once, even if collection getter is called multiple times.

camelot.core.utils.dgettext(domain, message)

Like ugettext but look the message up in the specified domain. This uses the Translation table.

camelot.core.utils.load_translations()

Fill the global dictionary of translations with all data from the database, to be able to do fast gui thread lookups of translations

camelot.core.utils.set_translation(source, value)

Store a tranlation in the global translation dictionary

camelot.core.utils.ugettext(string_to_translate)

Translate the string_to_translate to the language of the current locale. This is a two step process. First the function will try to get the translation out of the Translation entity, if this is not successfull, the function will ask QCoreApplication to translate string_to_translate (which tries to get the translation from the .qm files)

class camelot.core.utils.ugettext_lazy(string_to_translate)

Like :function:`ugettext`, but delays the translation until the string is shown to the user. This makes it possible for the user to translate the string.
