group_name_allowed

static caput.memdata.MemDiskGroup.group_name_allowed(name)

Used by subclasses to restrict creation of and access to groups.

This method is called by MemDiskGroup.create_group(), MemDiskGroup.require_group(), and MemDiskGroup.__getitem__() to check that the supplied group name is allowed.

The idea is that subclasses that want to specialize and restrict the layout of the data container can implement this method instead of re-implementing the above mentioned methods.

Parameters:

namestr

Absolute path to proposed group.

Returns:

is_allowedbool

All group names are allowed by default.
