Part of kiwi.ui.views View In Hierarchy
Known subclasses: kiwi.ui.delegates.GladeSlaveDelegate, kiwi.ui.delegates.SlaveDelegate, kiwi.ui.views.BaseView
Base class for all View classes. Defines the essential class attributes (controller, toplevel, widgets) and handles initialization of toplevel and widgets. Once AbstractView.__init__() has been called, you can be sure self.toplevel and self.widgets are sane and processed.
When a controller is associated with a View (the view should be passed in to its constructor) it will try and call a hook in the View called _attach_callbacks.
