fmt 0.1.1

Usages

• Accessing the globals and locals.

  import os
  import fmt as f
  
  g_foo = 'global-foo'
  g_bar = 'global-bar'
  g_num = 23
  g_ls = [1, 2, 3]
  
  def scope():
      l_foo = 'local-foo'
      l_bar = 'local-bar'
      print( f('{l_foo}, {l_bar}') )    # 'local-foo, local-bar'
      print( f('{g_foo}, {g_bar!r}') )  # "global-foo, 'global-bar'"
  
  scope()
  print( f('{{ }}') )                   # '{ }'
  print( f('hex: {g_num:#x}') )         # '0x17'
  print( f('{os.EX_OK}') )              # '0'
  print( f('{g_ls[0]}, {g_ls[1]}, {g_ls[2]}') )  # '1, 2, 3'

• NOTE: Closure will be a little tricky, must pass the outside scope variables as arguments to f, which added a reference to inside the closure in order this can work.

  import fmt as f
  
  def outer(x='xx'):
      y = 'yy'
      def inner():
          print( f('{x}, {y}', x, y) )  # "xx, 'yy'"
      return inner
  
  outer()()

• Expression evaluation.

  from datetime import datetime
  import fmt as f
  
  class S(object):
      def __str__(self):
          return 'hello'
      def __repr__(self):
          return 'hi'
      def __format__(self, fmt):
          return 'abcdefg'[int(fmt)]
  
  print( f('{1234567890:,}') )             # '1,234,567,890'
  print( f('{1 + 2}') )                    # '3'
  print( f('{str(1 + 2)!r}') )             # "'3'"
  print( f('{[i for i in range(5)]}') )    # '[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]'
  ls = range(5)
  print( f('{{i for i in ls}}') )          # 'set([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])' or '{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}'
  print( f('{{k:v for k,v in zip(range(3), range(3, 6))}}') )  # '{0: 3, 1: 4, 2: 5}'
  print( f('{datetime(1994, 11, 6):%Y-%m-%d}') )               # '1994-11-06'
  print( f('{list(map(lambda x: x+1, range(3)))}') )           # '[1, 2, 3]'
  print( f('{S()!r} {S()!s} {S():1}') )                        # 'hello hi b'

• Also, you can register some namespaces for convenience. NOTE: local namespace may cover the namespace that you registered.

  import fmt as f
  
  f.mregister({'x': 1, 'y': 2})  # register multiple
  f.register('z', 3)             # register only one
  
  def func(x, y):
      return x + y
  
  print( f('{func(x, y)}') )  # '3'
  print( f('{func(x, z)}') )  # '4'
  print( f('{func(y, z)}') )  # '5'
