Method Details [hide private]

toastentry(cls, toaster)
Class Method

source code 

Called just before the toaster starts processing all files. If it returns False, then the spell is not used. The default implementation simply returns True.

For example, if the spell only acts on a particular block type, but that block type is excluded, then you can use this function to flag that this spell can be skipped. You can also use this function to initialize statistics data to be aggregated from files, to initialize a log file, and so.

Parameters:
  • toaster - The toaster this spell is called from.
Returns: bool
True if the spell applies, False otherwise.
Overrides: Spell.toastentry
