models#

Models are data transfer objects or "light-weight" domain objects with no appreciable logic other than their own validation. Models are used to pass data between layers of the stack. In many ways they are similar to ORM objects. Unlike ORM objects, they are NOT themselves allowed to load data from a remote resource. Thought of another way, they cannot import from conda.gateways, but rather conda.gateways imports from conda.models as appropriate to create model objects from remote resources.

Conda modules importable from conda.models are

  • conda._vendor

  • conda.common

  • conda.models
