Singleton Class

Singleton classes represent a UNO singleton.

Static

Singleton classes in ooo.lo and ooo.csslo namespaces are static abstract classes.

Singleton classes in ooo.lo and ooo.csslo namespaces are the same classes.

Example:

from ooo.lo.beans.the_introspection import theIntrospection as LotheIntrospection
from ooo.csslo.beans import theIntrospection as CsstheIntrospection
same = LotheIntrospection is CsstheIntrospection
assert same == True

Dynamic

Singleton classes in ooo.dyn and ooo.cssdyn namespaces are dynamic classes and are changed during runtime.

Example dynamic:

from ooo.cssdyn.beans import theIntrospection
singleton = theIntrospection()
assert type(singleton).__name__ == "pyuno"
im_name = "com.sun.star.comp.stoc.Introspection"
assert singleton.getImplementationName() == im_name

Singleton classes in ooo.dyn and ooo.cssdyn namespaces are dynamic classes and are changed during runtime

Note

Dynamic singleton classes have a dynamic constructor.

This means ooo.cssdyn.beans.theIntrospection is a function at runtime

whereas singleton = theIntrospection() is an instance of a UNO class.
