19 """
20 The Validator object is used to check that supplied values
21 conform to a specification.
23 The value can be supplied as a string - e.g. from a config file.
24 In this case the check will also *convert* the value to
25 the required type. This allows you to add validation
26 as a transparent layer to access data stored as strings.
27 The validation checks that the data is correct *and*
28 converts it to the expected type.
30 Some standard checks are provided for basic data types.
31 Additional checks are easy to write. They can be
32 provided when the ``Validator`` is instantiated or
33 added afterwards.
35 The standard functions work with the following basic data types :
37 * integers
38 * floats
39 * booleans
40 * strings
41 * ip_addr
43 plus lists of these datatypes
45 Adding additional checks is done through coding simple functions.
47 The full set of standard checks are :
49 * 'integer': matches integer values (including negative)
50 Takes optional 'min' and 'max' arguments : ::
52 integer()
53 integer(3, 9) # any value from 3 to 9
54 integer(min=0) # any positive value
55 integer(max=9)
57 * 'float': matches float values
58 Has the same parameters as the integer check.
60 * 'boolean': matches boolean values - ``True`` or ``False``
61 Acceptable string values for True are :
62 true, on, yes, 1
63 Acceptable string values for False are :
64 false, off, no, 0
66 Any other value raises an error.
68 * 'ip_addr': matches an Internet Protocol address, v.4, represented
69 by a dotted-quad string, i.e. '1.2.3.4'.
71 * 'string': matches any string.
72 Takes optional keyword args 'min' and 'max'
73 to specify min and max lengths of the string.
75 * 'list': matches any list.
76 Takes optional keyword args 'min', and 'max' to specify min and
77 max sizes of the list. (Always returns a list.)
79 * 'tuple': matches any tuple.
80 Takes optional keyword args 'min', and 'max' to specify min and
81 max sizes of the tuple. (Always returns a tuple.)
83 * 'int_list': Matches a list of integers.
84 Takes the same arguments as list.
86 * 'float_list': Matches a list of floats.
87 Takes the same arguments as list.
89 * 'bool_list': Matches a list of boolean values.
90 Takes the same arguments as list.
92 * 'ip_addr_list': Matches a list of IP addresses.
93 Takes the same arguments as list.
95 * 'string_list': Matches a list of strings.
96 Takes the same arguments as list.
98 * 'mixed_list': Matches a list with different types in
99 specific positions. List size must match
100 the number of arguments.
102 Each position can be one of :
103 'integer', 'float', 'ip_addr', 'string', 'boolean'
105 So to specify a list with two strings followed
106 by two integers, you write the check as : ::
108 mixed_list('string', 'string', 'integer', 'integer')
110 * 'pass': This check matches everything ! It never fails
111 and the value is unchanged.
113 It is also the default if no check is specified.
115 * 'option': This check matches any from a list of options.
116 You specify this check with : ::
118 option('option 1', 'option 2', 'option 3')
120 You can supply a default value (returned if no value is supplied)
121 using the default keyword argument.
123 You specify a list argument for default using a list constructor syntax in
124 the check : ::
126 checkname(arg1, arg2, default=list('val 1', 'val 2', 'val 3'))
128 A badly formatted set of arguments will raise a ``VdtParamError``.

446 Validator is an object that allows you to register a set of 'checks'.
447 These checks take input and test that it conforms to the check.
449 This can also involve converting the value from a string into
450 the correct datatype.
452 The ``check`` method takes an input string which configures which
453 check is to be used and applies that check to a supplied value.
455 An example input string would be:
456 'int_range(param1, param2)'
458 You would then provide something like:
460 >>> def int_range_check(value, min, max):
461 ... # turn min and max from strings to integers
462 ... min = int(min)
463 ... max = int(max)
464 ... # check that value is of the correct type.
465 ... # possible valid inputs are integers or strings
466 ... # that represent integers
467 ... if not isinstance(value, (int, long, basestring)):
468 ... raise VdtTypeError(value)
469 ... elif isinstance(value, basestring):
470 ... # if we are given a string
471 ... # attempt to convert to an integer
472 ... try:
473 ... value = int(value)
474 ... except ValueError:
475 ... raise VdtValueError(value)
476 ... # check the value is between our constraints
477 ... if not min <= value:
478 ... raise VdtValueTooSmallError(value)
479 ... if not value <= max:

487 >>> vtr1.check('int_range(20, 40)', '60')
488 Traceback (most recent call last):
489 VdtValueTooBigError: the value "60" is too big.
491 New functions can be added with : ::
493 >>> vtr2 = Validator()
494 >>> vtr2.functions['int_range'] = int_range_check
496 Or by passing in a dictionary of functions when Validator
497 is instantiated.
499 Your functions *can* use keyword arguments,
500 but the first argument should always be 'value'.
502 If the function doesn't take additional arguments,
503 the parentheses are optional in the check.
504 It can be written with either of : ::
506 keyword = function_name
507 keyword = function_name()
509 The first program to utilise Validator() was Michael Foord's
510 ConfigObj, an alternative to ConfigParser which supports lists and
511 can validate a config file using a config schema.
