Coders / Decoders¶

Encode user-friendly values into internal formats used by the application, and decoder the values back into user-friendly values.

Codec¶

class mhi.common.codec.Codec¶

Codec: Coder / Decoder

Encode from user-friendly values into an internal value format, and decode from the internal format into (ideally) a user-friendly value.

Boolean Codec¶

class mhi.common.codec.BooleanCodec¶

Return type:: bool

static range() → Tuple[bool, bool]¶

Returns the range of values that this codec will encode, as in, maybe passed to encode() and will be returned by decode().

Returns:: False, True
Return type:: Tuple[Bool, Bool]

Map Codec¶

class mhi.common.codec.MapCodec(code, *, extras=None)¶

Map Coder / Decoder

Returns:: value which can be encoded by the codec.
Return type:: frozenset

Keyword Codec¶

class mhi.common.codec.KeywordCodec¶

Keyword Codec

Encode values for specific keys of a dictionary from user-friendly values into an internal value format, and decode values for those specific keys from the internal format into (ideally) a user-friendly value.

encodes(keyword: str)¶

Predicate, indicating whether or not this keyword codec will encode and decode a particular keyword

Parameters:: keyword (str) – keyword to test
Returns:: True if this codec handles the keyword, False otherwise
Return type:: bool

encode_all(kwargs: Dict[str, Any]) → Dict[str, Any]¶

Encode all values in the given dictionary which are handled by this codec. Values for unrecognized keywords are unchanged.

Parameters:: kwargs (dict) – a dictionary of keyword-value pairs
Returns:: A new dictionary containing encoded values, where supported.
Return type:: dict

decode_all(kwargs: Dict[str, Any]) → Dict[str, Any]¶

Decode all values in the given dictionary which are handled by this codec. Values for unrecognized keywords are unchanged.

Parameters:: kwargs (dict) – a dictionary of keyword-value pairs
Returns:: A new dictionary containing decoded values, where supported.
Return type:: dict

decode(value: Any) → Any¶

Decode an internal format value into a more user-friendly format

Parameters:: value – the value to decode
Returns:: the decoded value

encode(value: Any) → Any¶

Encode a user-friendly value into an internal format

Parameters:: value – the value to encode
Returns:: the encoded value

Simple Codec¶

class mhi.common.codec.SimpleCodec(code_dict=None, **codes)¶

Keyword Codec

Encode values for specific keys of a dictionary from user-friendly values into an internal value format, and decode values for those specific keys from the internal format into (ideally) a user-friendly value.

Parameters:

code_dict (dict) – A dictionary used to translate user-friendly values into internal values.
**codes – additional keyword-value translation pairs.

Example

A codec which converts fruit names into integers:

>>> codec = SimpleCodec(apple=1, banana=2, pear=3)
>>> codec.keywords('fruit')
>>> codec.encode('apple')
1
>>> codec.decode(2)
'banana'
>>> codec.encode_all({'animal': 'lion', 'fruit': 'pear'})
{'animal': 'lion', 'fruit': 3}

alternates(code_dict, **codes)¶

Provide additional encodings aliases for the codec. These additional options must not duplicate any existing user-friendly keywords, and must not introduce any new values to the mapping.

For instance, a codec may defined the mapping ‘EMTPY’ => 0. An alternate mapping ‘BLANK’ => 0 may be provided, allowing either ‘EMPTY’ or ‘BLANK’ to be encoded as 0, but 0 will always be decoded as ‘EMPTY’.

Parameters:

code_dict (dict) – A dictionary of additional translation aliases.
**codes – additional keyword-value translation alias pairs.
