### The objective here is to be able to insert a policy layer between the UI,
### which is where the user makes requests to change a bunch of accounts, and
### the backends, which make requested changes without thinking too much
### about whether they're a good idea.
###
### Here, we convert between (nearly) user-level /requests/, which involve
### doing things to multiple service/user pairs, and /operations/, which
### represent a single change to be made to a particular service.  (This is
### slightly nontrivial in the case of reset requests, since the intended
### semantics may be that the services are all assigned the /same/ random
### password.)

###--------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Operation protocol.

## An operation deals with a single service/user pair.  The protocol works
## like this.  The constructor is essentially passive, storing information
## about the operation but not actually performing it.  The `perform' method
## attempts to perform the operation, and stores information about the
## outcome in attributes:
##
## error        Either `None' or an `ExpectedError' instance indicating what
##              went wrong.
##
## result       Either `None' or a string providing additional information
##              about the successful completion of the operation.
##
## svc          The service object on which the operation was attempted.
##
## user         The user name on which the operation was attempted.

class BaseOperation (object):
  """
  Base class for individual operations.

  This is where the basic operation protocol is implemented.  Subclasses
  should store any additional attributes necessary during initialization, and
  implement a method `_perform' which takes no parameters, performs the

###--------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Requests.

## A request object represents a single user-level operation targetted at
## multiple services.  The user might be known under a different alias by
## each service, so requests operate on service/user pairs, bundled in an
## `acct' object.
##
## Request methods are as follows.
##
## check()      Verify that the request complies with policy.  Note that
##              checking that any particular user has authority over the
##              necessary accounts has already been done.  One might want to
##              check that the passwords are sufficiently long and
##              complicated (though that rapidly becomes problematic, and I
##              don't really recommend it) or that particular services are or
##              aren't processed at the same time.
##
## perform()    Actually perform the request.  A list of completed operation
##              objects is left in the `ops' attribute.
##
## Performing the operation may leave additional information in attributes.
## The `INFO' class attribute contains a dictionary mapping attribute names
## to human-readable descriptions of this additional information.
##
## Note that the request object has a fairly free hand in choosing how to
## implement the request in terms of operations.  In particular, it might
## process additional services.  Callers must not assume that they can
## predict what the resulting operations list will look like.
