Base Sites Customisation

The darc.sites._abc module provides the abstract base class for sites customisation implementation. All sites customisation must inherit from the BaseSite exclusively.

Important

The BaseSite class is NOT intended to be used directly from the darc.sites._abc module. Instead, you are recommended to import it from darc.sites respectively.
