Registries 1.0

Release date: July 30, 2024

Registries is a module for managing collections of objects, allowing for easy registration, lookups, and access.

This is ideal for applications that need to manage abstract interfaces with backend implementations, such as plugins, extensions, and other cases where you’d employ a Registry Pattern.

Registries was built to help develop Review Board, our premier code review product from Beanbag, and we’re making it available for use in other projects.

Features in 1.0

• Dynamic registration and unregistration of items.

• Flexible lookups based on registered lookup attributes.

• Thread-safety to avoid conflicts with modifying a registry.

• Extensibility through pre/post hooks for registration, unregistration, initial population, and resetting of registries.

• Python type hints to ease development.

• Built-in registries for order-dependent items and wrapping around Python Entry Points.
