congress.data_types module¶

class congress.data_types.Bool¶

Bases: congress.data_types.Scalar

classmethod marshal(value)¶

class congress.data_types.CongressDataType¶

Bases: object

exception CongressDataTypeHierarchyError¶

Bases: exceptions.TypeError

exception CongressDataTypeNoParent¶

Bases: exceptions.TypeError

classmethod convert_to_ancestor(value, ancestor_type)¶

Convert this type’s exchange value to ancestor_type’s exchange value

Generally there is no actual conversion because descendant type value is directly interpretable as ancestor type value. The only exception is the conversion from non-string descendents to string. This conversion is needed by Agnostic engine does not support boolean.

Warning

undefined behavior if ancestor_type is not an ancestor of this type.

classmethod least_ancestor(target_types)¶

Find this type’s least ancestor among target_types

This method helps a data consumer find the least common ancestor of this type among the types the data consumer supports.

Parameters:	supported_types – iterable collection of types
Returns:	the subclass of CongressDataType which is the least ancestor

classmethod marshal(value)¶

Validate a value as valid for this type.

Raises ValueError:
	if the value is not valid for this type

class congress.data_types.CongressTypeFiniteDomain¶

Bases: object

Abstract base class for a Congress type of bounded domain.

Each type inheriting from this class must have a class variable DOMAIN which is a frozenset of the set of values allowed in the type.

Bases: congress.data_types.Str

classmethod marshal(value)¶

class congress.data_types.Int¶

Bases: congress.data_types.Scalar

classmethod marshal(value)¶

class congress.data_types.Scalar¶

Bases: congress.data_types.CongressDataType

Most general type, emcompassing all JSON scalar values

ACCEPTED_VALUE_TYPES = [(<type 'basestring'>,), <type 'unicode'>, (<type 'int'>, <type 'long'>), <type 'float'>, <type 'bool'>]¶

Bases: congress.data_types.Scalar

classmethod marshal(value)¶

class congress.data_types.TypeNullabilityTuple(type, nullable)¶

Bases: tuple

nullable¶

Alias for field number 1

type¶

Alias for field number 0

classmethod type_class(type_name)¶

class congress.data_types.UUID¶

Bases: congress.data_types.Str

classmethod marshal(value)¶

class congress.data_types.UnqualifiedNameStr¶

Bases: abc.ABCMeta

metaclass to make str(Type) == Type

congress.data_types.create_congress_enum_type(class_name, enum_items, base_type, catch_all_default_value=None)¶

Return a sub-type of base_type

representing a value of type base_type from a fixed, finite domain. :param enum_items: collection of items forming the domain :param catch_all_default_value: value to use for any value outside the domain. Defaults to None to disallow any avy value outside the domain.

congress.data_types.nullable(marshal)¶

decorator to make marshal function accept None value

congress.data_types.type_class¶

alias of congress.data_types.IPNetwork
