            self.token, self.value.__class__.__name__)


class UtilityVocabulary(object):
    """Vocabulary that provides utilities of a specified.

    Here is a short example of how the vocabulary should work.

    First we need to create a utility interface and some utilities:

    >>> class IObject(Interface):
    ...     'Simple interface to mark object utilities.'
    >>>
    >>> class Object(object):
    ...     implements(IObject)
    ...     def __init__(self, name):
    ...         self.name = name
    ...     def __repr__(self):
    ...         return '<Object %s>' %self.name

    Now we register some utilities for IObject

    >>> from zope.app.tests import ztapi
    >>> object1 = Object('object1')
    >>> ztapi.provideUtility(IObject, object1, 'object1')
    >>> object2 = Object('object2')
    >>> ztapi.provideUtility(IObject, object2, 'object2')
    >>> object3 = Object('object3')
    >>> ztapi.provideUtility(IObject, object3, 'object3')
    >>> object4 = Object('object4')

    We are now ready to create a vocabulary that we can use; in our case
    everything is global, so the context is None.

    >>> vocab = UtilityVocabulary(None, IObject)
    >>> import pprint
    >>> pprint.pprint(vocab._terms.items())
    [(u'object1', <UtiltiyTerm object1, instance of Object>),
     (u'object2', <UtiltiyTerm object2, instance of Object>),
     (u'object3', <UtiltiyTerm object3, instance of Object>)]

    Now let's see how the other methods behave in this context. First we can
    just use the 'in' opreator to test whether a value is available.

    >>> object1 in vocab
    True
    >>> object4 in vocab
    False

    We can also create a lazy iterator. Note that the utility terms might
    appear in a different order than the utilities were registered. 

    >>> iterator = iter(vocab)
    >>> terms = list(iterator)
    >>> names = [term.token for term in terms]
    >>> names.sort()
    >>> names
    [u'object1', u'object2', u'object3']

    Determining the amount of utilities available via the vocabulary is also
    possible.

    >>> len(vocab)
    3

    Next we are looking at some of the more vocabulary-characteristic API
    methods. First, there is always a query available for the vocabulary:

    >>> vocab.getQuery().__class__.__name__
    'UtilityQuery'

    One can get a term for a given value using getTerm():

    >>> vocab.getTerm(object1)
    <UtiltiyTerm object1, instance of Object>
    >>> vocab.getTerm(object4)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    LookupError: <Object object4>

    On the other hand, if you want to get a term by the token, then you do
    that with:

    >>> vocab.getTermByToken('object1')
    <UtiltiyTerm object1, instance of Object>
    >>> vocab.getTermByToken('object4')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    LookupError: object4

    That's it. It is all pretty straight forward, but it allows us to easily
    create a vocabulary for any utility. In fact, to make it easy to register
    such a vocabulary via ZCML, the 'interface' argument to the constructor
    can be a string that is resolved via the utility registry. The ZCML looks
    like this:

    <zope:vocabulary
        name='IObjects'
        interface='zope.app.utility.vocabulary.IObject' />

    >>> ztapi.provideUtility(IInterface, IObject,
    ...                      'zope.app.utility.vocabulary.IObject')
    >>> vocab = UtilityVocabulary(None, 'zope.app.utility.vocabulary.IObject')
    >>> pprint.pprint(vocab._terms.items())
    [(u'object1', <UtiltiyTerm object1, instance of Object>),
     (u'object2', <UtiltiyTerm object2, instance of Object>),
     (u'object3', <UtiltiyTerm object3, instance of Object>)]
    """

    implements(IVocabulary, IVocabularyTokenized)

    def __init__(self, context, interface):
        if isinstance(interface, (str, unicode)): 
            interface = zapi.getUtility(context, IInterface, interface)
        utils = zapi.getUtilitiesFor(context, interface)
        self._terms = dict([(name, UtilityTerm(util, name))
                            for name, util in utils])
      
    def __contains__(self, value):
        """See zope.schema.interfaces.IBaseVocabulary"""
        return value in [term.value for term in self._terms.values()]
