class ViewList(object):

Known subclasses: docutils.statemachine.StringList

View In Hierarchy

List with extended functionality: slices of ViewList objects are child lists, linked to their parents. Changes made to a child list also affect the parent list. A child list is effectively a "view" (in the SQL sense) of the parent list. Changes to parent lists, however, do not affect active child lists. If a parent list is changed, any active child lists should be recreated.

The start and end of the slice can be trimmed using the trim_start() and trim_end() methods, without affecting the parent list. The link between child and parent lists can be broken by calling disconnect() on the child list.

Also, ViewList objects keep track of the source & offset of each item. This information is accessible via the source(), offset(), and info() methods.
