colour.utilities.data_structures Module¶

Data Structures¶

Defines various data structures classes:

• Structure: An object similar to C/C++ structured type.
• Lookup: A dict sub-class acting as a lookup to retrieve keys by values.

class colour.utilities.data_structures.Structure(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: dict

Defines an object similar to C/C++ structured type.

Parameters:	*args (*) – Arguments. **kwargs (dict) – Key / Value pairs.

Examples

>>> person = Structure(first_name='Doe', last_name='John', gender='male')
>>> # Doctests skip for Python 2.x compatibility.
>>> person.first_name  
'Doe'
>>> sorted(person.keys())
['first_name', 'gender', 'last_name']
>>> # Doctests skip for Python 2.x compatibility.
>>> person['gender']  
'male'

__delattr__(attribute)[source]¶

Deletes both key and sibling attribute.

Parameters:	attribute (object) – Attribute.

Notes

• Reimplements the dict.__delattr__() method.

__delitem__(attribute)¶

Deletes both key and sibling attribute.

Parameters:	attribute (object) – Attribute.

Notes

• Reimplements the dict.__delattr__() method.

__getattr__(attribute)[source]¶

Returns given attribute value.

Parameters:	attribute (unicode) – Attribute name.

Notes

• Reimplements the dict.__getattr__() method.

Returns:	Attribute value.
Return type:	object
Raises:	AttributeError – If the attribute is not defined.

__setattr__(attribute, value)[source]¶

Sets both key and sibling attribute with given value.

Parameters:	attribute (object) – Attribute. value (object) – Value.

Notes

• Reimplements the dict.__setattr__() method.

__setitem__(attribute, value)¶

Sets both key and sibling attribute with given value.

Parameters:	attribute (object) – Attribute. value (object) – Value.

Notes

• Reimplements the dict.__setattr__() method.

update(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Updates both keys and sibling attributes.

Parameters:	*args (*) – Arguments. **kwargs (**) – Keywords arguments.

Notes

• Reimplements the dict.update() method.

class colour.utilities.data_structures.Lookup[source]¶

Bases: dict

Extends dict type to provide a lookup by value(s).

Examples

>>> person = Lookup(first_name='Doe', last_name='John', gender='male')
>>> person.first_key_from_value('Doe')
'first_name'
>>> persons = Lookup(John='Doe', Jane='Doe', Luke='Skywalker')
>>> sorted(persons.keys_from_value('Doe'))
['Jane', 'John']

first_key_from_value(value)[source]¶

Gets the first key with given value.

Parameters:	value (object) – Value.
Returns:	Key.
Return type:	object

keys_from_value(value)[source]¶

Gets the keys with given value.

Parameters:	value (object) – Value.
Returns:	Keys.
Return type:	object

class colour.utilities.data_structures.CaseInsensitiveMapping(data=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: _abcoll.MutableMapping

Implements a case-insensitive mutable mapping / dict object.

Allows values retrieving from keys while ignoring the key case. The keys are expected to be unicode or string-like objects supporting the str.lower() method.

Parameters:	data (dict) – dict of data to store into the mapping at initialisation. **kwargs (dict) – Key / Value pairs to store into the mapping at initialisation.

Warning

The keys are expected to be unicode or string-like objects.

>>> methods['mccamy']
1

__contains__(item)[source]¶

Returns if the mapping contains given item.

Parameters:	item (unicode) – Item name.
Returns:	Is item in mapping.
Return type:	bool

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__contains__() method.

__delitem__(item)[source]¶

Deletes the item with given name.

The item is deleted from the mapping using its lower name.

Parameters:	item (unicode) – Item name.

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__delitem__() method.

__eq__(item)[source]¶

Returns the equality with given object.

Parameters:	item – Object item.
Returns:	Equality.
Return type:	bool

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__eq__() method.

__getitem__(item)[source]¶

Returns the value of given item.

The item value is retrieved using its lower name in the mapping.

Parameters:	item (unicode) – Item name.
Returns:	Item value
Return type:	object

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__getitem__() method.

__iter__()[source]¶

Iterates over the items names in the mapping.

The item names returned are the original input ones.

Returns:	Item names.
Return type:	generator

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__iter__() method.

__len__()[source]¶

Returns the items count.

Returns:	Items count.
Return type:	int

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__iter__() method.

__ne__(item)[source]¶

Returns the inequality with given object.

Parameters:	item – Object item.
Returns:	Inequality.
Return type:	bool

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__ne__() method.

__repr__()[source]¶

Returns the mapping representation with the original item names.

Returns:	Mapping representation.
Return type:	unicode

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__repr__() method.

__setitem__(item, value)[source]¶

Sets given item with given value.

The item is stored as lower in the mapping while the original name and its value are stored together as the value in a tuple:

{“item.lower()”: (“item”, value)}

Parameters:	item (object) – Attribute. value (object) – Value.

Notes

• Reimplements the MutableMapping.__setitem__() method.

copy()[source]¶
