[Grok-dev] grok_overview.html: issue with adapters

[Sebastian Ware]

Actually, you will find that the example code is correct. The code  
above what you quoted says:

   def sized(context):
     if isinstance(context, Document):
         return DocumentedSized(context)
     elif isinstance(context, Image):
         return ImageSized(context)
     elif isinstance(context, Container):
         return ContainerSized(context)
so calling:

   s = sized(my_content_object)

will return an adapter* (DocumentSized, etc...) that provides the  
method size().

*adapter being a special "coder view" of an object allowing access to  
object specific methods that are only available when you are accessing  
the object through the adapter. In this case the adapter provides the  
method size().
