ironicclient.common.utils.args_array_to_dict(kwargs, key_to_convert)[source]¶

Convert the value in a dictionary entry to a dictionary.

From the kwargs dictionary, converts the value of the key_to_convert entry from a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary.

Parameters:	kwargs – a dictionary key_to_convert – the key (in kwargs), whose value is expected to be a list of key=value strings. This value will be converted to a dictionary.
Returns:	kwargs, the (modified) dictionary

ironicclient.common.utils.bool_argument_value(arg_name, bool_str, strict=True, default=False)[source]¶

Returns the Boolean represented by bool_str.

Returns the Boolean value for the argument named arg_name. The value is represented by the string bool_str. If the string is an invalid Boolean string: if strict is True, a CommandError exception is raised; otherwise the default value is returned.

Parameters:	arg_name – The name of the argument bool_str – The string representing a Boolean value strict – Used if the string is invalid. If True, raises an exception. If False, returns the default value. default – The default value to return if the string is invalid and not strict
Returns:	the Boolean value represented by bool_str or the default value if bool_str is invalid and strict is False
Raises:	CommandError – if bool_str is an invalid Boolean string

ironicclient.common.utils.check_empty_arg(arg, arg_descriptor)[source]¶

ironicclient.common.utils.check_for_invalid_fields(fields, valid_fields)[source]¶
