class documentation

`class _CommandDispatcherMixin: (source)`

Known subclasses: `twisted.words.protocols.irc.ServerSupportedFeatures`, `twisted.words.protocols.irc._FormattingParser`

View In Hierarchy

Dispatch commands to handlers based on their name.

Command handler names should be of the form `prefix_commandName`, where `prefix` is the value specified by `prefix`, and must accept the parameters as given to `dispatch`.

Attempting to mix this in more than once for a single class will cause strange behaviour, due to `prefix` being overwritten.

Method | `dispatch` | Perform actual command dispatch.
Instance Variable | `prefix` | Command handler prefix, used to locate handler attributes

def dispatch(self, commandName, *args): (source)
Perform actual command dispatch.
prefix: `str` = (source)
overridden in `twisted.words.protocols.irc.ServerSupportedFeatures`, `twisted.words.protocols.irc._FormattingParser`
