"""Conversion pipeline templates. The problem: ------------ Suppose you have some data that you want to convert to another format, such as from GIF image format to PPM image format. Maybe the conversion involves several steps (e.g. piping it through compress or uuencode). Some of the conversion steps may require that their input is a disk file, others may be able to read standard input; similar for their output. The input to the entire conversion may also be read from a disk file or from an open file, and similar for its output. The module lets you construct a pipeline template by sticking one or more conversion steps together. It will take care of creating and removing temporary files if they are necessary to hold intermediate data. You can then use the template to do conversions from many different sources to many different destinations. The temporary file names used are different each time the template is used. The templates are objects so you can create templates for many different conversion steps and store them in a dictionary, for instance. Directions: ----------- To create a template: t = Template() To add a conversion step to a template: t.append(command, kind) where kind is a string of two characters: the first is '-' if the command reads its standard input or 'f' if it requires a file; the second likewise for the output. The command must be valid /bin/sh syntax. If input or output files are required, they are passed as $IN and $OUT; otherwise, it must be possible to use the command in a pipeline. To add a conversion step at the beginning: t.prepend(command, kind) To convert a file to another file using a template: sts = t.copy(infile, outfile) If infile or outfile are the empty string, standard input is read or standard output is written, respectively. The return value is the exit status of the conversion pipeline. To open a file for reading or writing through a conversion pipeline: fp = t.open(file, mode) where mode is 'r' to read the file, or 'w' to write it -- just like for the built-in function open() or for os.popen(). To create a new template object initialized to a given one: t2 = t.clone() """ # ' import re import os import tempfile # we import the quote function rather than the module for backward compat # (quote used to be an undocumented but used function in pipes) from shlex import quote __all__ = ["Template"] # Conversion step kinds FILEIN_FILEOUT = 'ff' # Must read & write real files STDIN_FILEOUT = '-f' # Must write a real file FILEIN_STDOUT = 'f-' # Must read a real file STDIN_STDOUT = '--' # Normal pipeline element SOURCE = '.-' # Must be first, writes stdout SINK = '-.' # Must be last, reads stdin stepkinds = [FILEIN_FILEOUT, STDIN_FILEOUT, FILEIN_STDOUT, STDIN_STDOUT, \ SOURCE, SINK] class Template: """Class representing a pipeline template.""" def __init__(self): """Template() returns a fresh pipeline template.""" self.debugging = 0 self.reset() def __repr__(self): """t.__repr__() implements repr(t).""" return '<Template instance, steps=%r>' % (self.steps,) def reset(self): """t.reset() restores a pipeline template to its initial state.""" self.steps = [] def clone(self): """t.clone() returns a new pipeline template with identical initial state as the current one.""" t = Template() t.steps = self.steps[:] t.debugging = self.debugging return t def debug(self, flag): """t.debug(flag) turns debugging on or off.""" self.debugging = flag def append(self, cmd, kind): """t.append(cmd, kind) adds a new step at the end.""" if type(cmd) is not type(''): raise TypeError('Template.append: cmd must be a string') if kind not in stepkinds: raise ValueError('Template.append: bad kind %r' % (kind,)) if kind == SOURCE: raise ValueError('Template.append: SOURCE can only be prepended') if self.steps and self.steps[-1][1] == SINK: raise ValueError('Template.append: already ends with SINK') if kind[0] == 'f' and not re.search(r'\$IN\b', cmd): raise ValueError('Template.append: missing $IN in cmd') if kind[1] == 'f' and not re.search(r'\$OUT\b', cmd): raise ValueError('Template.append: missing $OUT in cmd') self.steps.append((cmd, kind)) def prepend(self, cmd, kind): """t.prepend(cmd, kind) adds a new step at the front.""" if type(cmd) is not type(''): raise TypeError('Template.prepend: cmd must be a string') if kind not in stepkinds: raise ValueError('Template.prepend: bad kind %r' % (kind,)) if kind == SINK: raise ValueError('Template.prepend: SINK can only be appended') if self.steps and self.steps[0][1] == SOURCE: raise ValueError('Template.prepend: already begins with SOURCE') if kind[0] == 'f' and not re.search(r'\$IN\b', cmd): raise ValueError('Template.prepend: missing $IN in cmd') if kind[1] == 'f' and not re.search(r'\$OUT\b', cmd): raise ValueError('Template.prepend: missing $OUT in cmd') self.steps.insert(0, (cmd, kind)) def open(self, file, rw): """t.open(file, rw) returns a pipe or file object open for reading or writing;
