zodict 1.6.0

zodict

Ordered dictionary which implements the corresponding zope.interface.common.mapping interface

>>> from zope.interface.common.mapping import IFullMapping
>>> from zodict import zodict
>>> zod = zodict()
>>> IFullMapping.providedBy(zod)
True

Node

This is a zodict which provides a location. Location the zope way means each item in the node-tree knows its parent and its own name

>>> from zope.location.interface import ILocation
>>> from zodict.node import Node
>>> root = Node('root')
>>> ILocation.providedBy(Node)
True

>>> root['child'] = Node()
>>> root['child'].path
['root', 'child']

>>> child = root['child']
>>> child.__name__
'child'

>>> child.__parent__
<Node object 'root' at ...>

The filtereditems function

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.interface import alsoProvides
>>> class IMarker(Interface): pass
>>> alsoProvides(root['child']['subchild'], IMarker)
>>> IMarker.providedBy(root['child']['subchild'])
True

>>> for item in root['child'].filtereditems(IMarker):
...     print item.path
['root', 'child', 'subchild']

UUID related operations on Node

>>> uuid = root['child']['subchild'].uuid
>>> uuid
UUID('...')

>>> root.node(uuid).path
['root', 'child', 'subchild']

>>> root.uuid = uuid
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
ValueError: Given uuid was already used for another Node

>>> import uuid
>>> newuuid = uuid.uuid4()

>>> root.uuid = newuuid
>>> root['child'].node(newuuid).path
['root']

Node insertion (an insertafter function exist as well)

>>> root['child1'] = Node()
>>> root['child2'] = Node()

>>> node = Node('child3')
>>> root.insertbefore(node, root['child2'])
>>> root.printtree()
<class 'zodict.node.Node'>: root
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child1
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child3
  <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child2

Nodes can not be moved. Therefor you have to read it, delete it from tree and add it elsewhere again

>>> node = root['child2']
>>> del root['child2']
>>> root.values()
[<Node object 'child1' at ...>, <Node object 'child3' at ...>]

>>> root.insertbefore(node, root['child1'])
>>> root.printtree()
<class 'zodict.node.Node'>: root
    <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child2
    <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child1
    <class 'zodict.node.Node'>: child3
