"""Class to mimic C structs but also provide convenient dictionary-like
|
|
|
functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instances can be initialized with a dictionary, a list of key=value pairs
|
|
|
or both. If both are present, the dictionary must come first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because Python classes provide direct assignment to their members, it's
|
|
|
easy to overwrite normal methods (S.copy = 1 would destroy access to
|
|
|
S.copy()). For this reason, all builtin method names are protected and
|
|
|
can't be assigned to. An attempt to do s.copy=1 or s['copy']=1 will raise
|
|
|
a KeyError exception. If you really want to, you can bypass this
|
|
|
protection by directly assigning to __dict__: s.__dict__['copy']=1 will
|
|
|
still work. Doing this will break functionality, though. As in most of
|
|
|
Python, namespace protection is weakly enforced, so feel free to shoot
|
|
|
yourself if you really want to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this class uses more memory and is *much* slower than a regular
|
|
|
dictionary, so be careful in situations where memory or performance are
|
|
|
critical. But for day to day use it should behave fine. It is particularly
|
|
|
convenient for storing configuration data in programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+,+=,- and -= are implemented. +/+= do merges (non-destructive updates),
|
|
|
-/-= remove keys from the original. See the method descripitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This class allows a quick access syntax: both s.key and s['key'] are
|
|
|
valid. This syntax has a limitation: each 'key' has to be explicitly
|
|
|
accessed by its original name. The normal s.key syntax doesn't provide
|
|
|
access to the keys via variables whose values evaluate to the desired
|
|
|
keys. An example should clarify this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Define a dictionary and initialize both with dict and k=v pairs:
|
|
|
>>> d={'a':1,'b':2}
|
|
|
>>> s=Struct(d,hi=10,ho=20)
|
|
|
The return of __repr__ can be used to create a new instance:
|
|
|
>>> s
|
|
|
Struct({'ho': 20, 'b': 2, 'hi': 10, 'a': 1})
|
|
|
__str__ (called by print) shows it's not quite a regular dictionary:
|
|
|
>>> print s
|
|
|
Struct {a: 1, b: 2, hi: 10, ho: 20}
|
|
|
Access by explicitly named key with dot notation:
|
|
|
>>> s.a
|
|
|
1
|
|
|
Or like a dictionary:
|
|
|
>>> s['a']
|
|
|
1
|
|
|
If you want a variable to hold the key value, only dictionary access works:
|
|
|
>>> key='hi'
|
|
|
>>> s.key
|
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
|
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
|
|
|
AttributeError: Struct instance has no attribute 'key'
|
|
|
>>> s[key]
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another limitation of the s.key syntax (and Struct(key=val)
|
|
|
initialization): keys can't be numbers. But numeric keys can be used and
|
|
|
accessed using the dictionary syntax. Again, an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
This doesn't work:
|
|
|
>>> s=Struct(4='hi')
|
|
|
SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression
|
|
|
But this does:
|
|
|
>>> s=Struct()
|
|
|
>>> s[4]='hi'
|
|
|
>>> s
|
|
|
Struct({4: 'hi'})
|
|
|
>>> s[4]
|
|
|
'hi'

This is similar to update(), but much more flexible. First, a dict is
|
|
|
made from data+key=value pairs. When merging this dict with the Struct
|
|
|
S, the optional dictionary 'conflict' is used to decide what to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If conflict is not given, the default behavior is to preserve any keys
|
|
|
with their current value (the opposite of the update method's
|
|
|
behavior).
|
|
|
|
|
|
conflict is a dictionary of binary functions which will be used to
|
|
|
solve key conflicts. It must have the following structure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
conflict == { fn1 : [Skey1,Skey2,...], fn2 : [Skey3], etc }
|
|
|
|
|
|
Values must be lists or whitespace separated strings which are
|
|
|
automatically converted to lists of strings by calling string.split().
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each key of conflict is a function which defines a policy for
|
|
|
resolving conflicts when merging with the input data. Each fn must be
|
|
|
a binary function which returns the desired outcome for a key
|
|
|
conflict. These functions will be called as fn(old,new).
|
|
|
|
|
|
An example is probably in order. Suppose you are merging the struct S
|
|
|
with a dict D and the following conflict policy dict:
|
|
|
|
|
|
S.merge(D,{fn1:['a','b',4], fn2:'key_c key_d'})
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the key 'a' is found in both S and D, the merge method will call:
|
|
|
|
|
|
S['a'] = fn1(S['a'],D['a'])
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a convenience, merge() provides five (the most commonly needed)
|
|
|
pre-defined policies: preserve, update, add, add_flip and add_s. The
|
|
|
easiest explanation is their implementation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
preserve = lambda old,new: old
|
|
|
update = lambda old,new: new
|
|
|
add = lambda old,new: old + new
|
|
|
add_flip = lambda old,new: new + old # note change of order!
|
|
|
add_s = lambda old,new: old + ' ' + new # only works for strings!
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use those four words (as strings) as keys in conflict instead
|
|
|
of defining them as functions, and the merge method will substitute
|
|
|
the appropriate functions for you. That is, the call
|
|
|
|
|
|
S.merge(D,{'preserve':'a b c','add':[4,5,'d'],my_function:[6]})
|
|
|
|
|
|
will automatically substitute the functions preserve and add for the
|
|
|
names 'preserve' and 'add' before making any function calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more complicated conflict resolution policies, you still need to
|
|
|
construct your own functions. """
