IbisResult

Class in module ibisclient.dto

class IbisResult(attrs={})

Bases: IbisDto

Class representing the top-level container for all results.

This may be just a simple textual value or it may contain more complex entities such as people, institutions, groups, attributes, etc.

class Entities(attrs={})

Bases: IbisDto

Nested class to hold the full details of all the entities returned in a result. This is used only in the flattened result representation, where each of these entities will have a unique textual ID, and be referred to from the top-level objects returned (and by each other).

In the hierarchical representation, this is not used, since all entities returned will be at the top-level, or directly contained in those top-level entities.

groups

list of IbisGroup

A list of all the unique groups returned by the method. This may include additional groups returned as a result of the fetch parameter, so this list may contain more entries than the corresponding field on the enclosing class.

institutions

list of IbisInstitution

A list of all the unique institutions returned by the method. This may include additional institutions returned as a result of the fetch parameter, so this list may contain more entries than the corresponding field on the enclosing class.

people

list of IbisPerson

A list of all the unique people returned by the method. This may include additional people returned as a result of the fetch parameter, so this list may contain more entries than the corresponding field on the enclosing class.

class EntityMap(result)

Bases: object

Nested class to assist during the unflattening process, maintaining efficient maps from IDs to entities (people, institutions and groups).
