   1 """Bastionification utility.
   2
   3 A bastion (for another object -- the 'original') is an object that has
   4 the same methods as the original but does not give access to its
   5 instance variables.  Bastions have a number of uses, but the most
   6 obvious one is to provide code executing in restricted mode with a
   7 safe interface to an object implemented in unrestricted mode.
   8
   9 The bastionification routine has an optional second argument which is
  10 a filter function.  Only those methods for which the filter method
  11 (called with the method name as argument) returns true are accessible.
  12 The default filter method returns true unless the method name begins
  13 with an underscore.
  14
  15 There are a number of possible implementations of bastions.  We use a
  16 'lazy' approach where the bastion's __getattr__() discipline does all
  17 the work for a particular method the first time it is used.  This is
  18 usually fastest, especially if the user doesn't call all available
  19 methods.  The retrieved methods are stored as instance variables of
  20 the bastion, so the overhead is only occurred on the first use of each
  21 method.
  22
  23 Detail: the bastion class has a __repr__() discipline which includes
  24 the repr() of the original object.  This is precomputed when the
  25 bastion is created.
