Interface to emulate a function

The class IActor implements an interface to emulate a function. It has functions to inputs() and outputs().

Examples:

>>> import openalea.core
>>> a = openalea.core.actor.IActor()

eval()

Computes output values when input is set

inputs()

Iterates on all input descriptions

Returns:iter of (input key, input interface)

output(key)

Get value computed of the output

Parameters:key -- a specified key Returns:the corresponding value

outputs()

Iterates on all output descriptions

Returns:iter of (output key, output interface)

set_input(key, value)

Set input specified by a key to the given value

Parameters:

• key -- the input key
• value -- the value key corresponding to the key
