|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | The problem:
|
|---|
| 4 | ------------
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | Suppose you have some data that you want to convert to another format,
|
|---|
| 7 | such as from GIF image format to PPM image format. Maybe the
|
|---|
| 8 | conversion involves several steps (e.g. piping it through compress or
|
|---|
| 9 | uuencode). Some of the conversion steps may require that their input
|
|---|
| 10 | is a disk file, others may be able to read standard input; similar for
|
|---|
| 11 | their output. The input to the entire conversion may also be read
|
|---|
| 12 | from a disk file or from an open file, and similar for its output.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | The module lets you construct a pipeline template by sticking one or
|
|---|
| 15 | more conversion steps together. It will take care of creating and
|
|---|
| 16 | removing temporary files if they are necessary to hold intermediate
|
|---|
| 17 | data. You can then use the template to do conversions from many
|
|---|
| 18 | different sources to many different destinations. The temporary
|
|---|
| 19 | file names used are different each time the template is used.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | The templates are objects so you can create templates for many
|
|---|
| 22 | different conversion steps and store them in a dictionary, for
|
|---|
| 23 | instance.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | Directions:
|
|---|
| 27 | -----------
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | To create a template:
|
|---|
| 30 | t = Template()
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | To add a conversion step to a template:
|
|---|
| 33 | t.append(command, kind)
|
|---|
| 34 | where kind is a string of two characters: the first is '-' if the
|
|---|
| 35 | command reads its standard input or 'f' if it requires a file; the
|
|---|
| 36 | second likewise for the output. The command must be valid /bin/sh
|
|---|
| 37 | syntax. If input or output files are required, they are passed as
|
|---|
| 38 | $IN and $OUT; otherwise, it must be possible to use the command in
|
|---|
| 39 | a pipeline.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | To add a conversion step at the beginning:
|
|---|
| 42 | t.prepend(command, kind)
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | To convert a file to another file using a template:
|
|---|
| 45 | sts = t.copy(infile, outfile)
|
|---|
| 46 | If infile or outfile are the empty string, standard input is read or
|
|---|
| 47 | standard output is written, respectively. The return value is the
|
|---|
| 48 | exit status of the conversion pipeline.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | To open a file for reading or writing through a conversion pipeline:
|
|---|
| 51 | fp = t.open(file, mode)
|
|---|
| 52 | where mode is 'r' to read the file, or 'w' to write it -- just like
|
|---|
| 53 | for the built-in function open() or for os.popen().
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | To create a new template object initialized to a given one:
|
|---|
| 56 | t2 = t.clone()
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | For an example, see the function test() at the end of the file.
