BLISS utils¶

bliss.common.utils module contains a collection of classes and functions used to ease programming BLISS.

class handling¶

wrap_methods(from_object, target_object):¶

add_property(inst, name, method):¶

data structures operations¶

grouped(iterable, n):¶

Group elements of an iterable n by n. Return a zip object. s -> (s0,s1,s2,...sn-1), (sn,sn+1,sn+2,...s2n-1), (s2n,s2n+1,s2n+2,...s3n-1), ... Excedentary elements are discarded.

DEMO [8]: from bliss.common.utils import grouped
DEMO [5]: list(grouped([1,2,3,4,5], 2))
 Out [5]: [(1, 2), (3, 4)]

grouped_with_tail(iterable, n):¶

Like grouped(), but do not remove last elements if they not reach the given length n.

DEMO [09]: from bliss.common.utils import grouped_with_tail
DEMO [10]: list(grouped_with_tail([1,2,3,4,5], 2))
 Out [10]: [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5]]

flatten_gen(items):¶

Flatten nested structures.

DEMO [11]: from bliss.common.utils import flatten_gen
DEMO [13]: list(flatten_gen([1, [2, 3,[4, 5], 6]]))
 Out [13]: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

flatten(items):¶

Idem but return a list.

DEMO [14]: from bliss.common.utils import flatten
DEMO [15]: flatten([1, [2, 3,[4, 5], 6]])
 Out [15]: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

merge(items):¶

Merge a list of list, first level only.

merge([ [1,2], [3] ]) -> [1,2,3]
merge([ [1,2], [[3,4]], [5] ]) -> [1,2,[3,4],5]

DEMO [16]: from bliss.common.utils import merge
DEMO [17]: merge([ [1,2], [[3,4]], [5] ])
 Out [17]: [1, 2, [3, 4], 5]

all_equal(iterable):¶

Objects customization¶

Functions to add custom attributes and commands to an object.

Decorators for set/get methods to access to custom attributes

add_object_method(obj, method)¶

object_method()¶

Decorator to add a custom method to an object.

The same as add_object_method but its purpose is to be used as a decorator to the controller method which is to be exported as object method.

Return a method where object_method attribute is filled with a dict of elements to characterize it.

object_method_type()¶

add_object_attribute()¶

object_attribute_type_get()¶

object_attribute_get()¶

object_attribute_type_set()¶

object_attribute_set()¶

set_custom_members¶

Creates custom methods and attributes for <target_obj> object using <src_object> object definitions. Populates __custom_methods_list and __custom_attributes_dict for tango device server.

with_custom_members¶

A class decorator to enable custom attributes and custom methods.

Various classes and functions¶

Null¶

StripIt(object)¶

Encapsulate object with a short str/repr/format. Useful to have in log messages since it only computes the representation if the log message is recorded.

periodic_exec¶

safe_get¶

human_time_fmt¶

Statistics¶

Calculate statistics from a profiling dictionary

key == function name
values == list of tuple (start_time, end_time)

DEMO [29]: from bliss.common.utils import Statistics
DEMO [30]: profile = {"init()":[(0.1, 0.22)], "finalize()":[(0.01, 0.045)]}
DEMO [31]: Statistics(profile)
 Out [31]: func_name    min        mean       max            std
           -----------  ---------  ---------  ---------  -------
           finalize()   35.000ms   35.000ms   35.000ms   0.00000
           init()       120.000ms  120.000ms  120.000ms  0.00000

UserNamespace¶

deep_update¶

Do a deep merge of one dict into another.

Types¶

is_basictype¶

is_complextype¶

is_mutsequence¶

is_mutmapping¶

is_sametype¶

Tree¶

prudent_update(d, u):¶

Updates a MutableMapping or MutalbeSequence ‘d’ from another one ‘u’. The update is done trying to minimize changes: the update is done only on leaves of the tree if possible. This is to preserve the original object as much as possible.

update_node_info(node, d)¶

math rounding¶

rounder¶

Return rounded string representation of a number according to a template number. Rounding is performed by string formatting (i.e. uses round() ?).

from bliss.common.utils import rounder

assert rounder(0.0001, 16.12345) == "16.1234"
assert rounder(1, 16.123) == "16"
assert rounder(0.1, 8.5) == "8.5"
assert rounder(1e-8, 1.123456789123456789) == "1.12345679"

NB: Used to display axes positions.

Shell¶

ShellStr¶

Network¶

get_open_ports(n):¶

Help/Errors¶

ErrorWithTraceback¶

WrappedMethod¶

shorten_signature¶

By default it is removing the annotation of each parameter or replacing it with a custum one.

custom_error_msg¶

typecheck_var_args_pattern¶

modify_annotations¶

Modify the annotation in an existing signature.

is_pattern¶

Return true if the input string is a pattern for get_matching_names.

get_matching_names¶

Search a pattern into a list of names (unix pattern style).

Messages¶

nonblocking_print¶

Countdown¶

countdown(<duration_in_seconds>, [<waiting message>], [<end_message>])

from bliss.shell.standard import countdown
countdown(5, "Waiting for stabilization", "Goooo")

Countdown example

getval¶

getval_ functions are a set of functions to prompt user to enter interactively various types of inputs: int, float, string, yes/no answer to a question etc.

getval_int_range¶

getval_int_range(message, min, max, default): Prompt user for an int number in interval [min, max]

In [1]: from bliss.shell.getval import getval_int_range

In [2]: getval_int_range("Please enter beamline number", min=1, max=32, default=1)

Please enter beamline number [1]: f
Error: f is not a valid integer
Please enter beamline number [1]: 99
Error: 99 is not in the valid range of 1 to 32.
Please enter beamline number [1]: 5
Out[2]: 5

getval_idx_list¶

getval_idx_list(): Return the index and string chosen by user in list of N strings. Selection is done by index in [1..N].

Example:

from bliss.shell.getval import getval_idx_list

dspacing_list = ["111", "311", "642"]
print(getval_idx_list(dspacing_list,"Choose the index of dspacing you want to use"))

Execution of previous example:

1 - 111
2 - 311
3 - 642
Choose the index of dspacing you want to use [1]: 2
311

getval_char_list¶

from bliss.shell.getval import getval_char_list

actions_list= [("a", "add a roi"), ("r", "remove a roi"), ("m", "modify a roi")]
getval_char_list(actions_list, "Action to do")

Execution of previous example:

getval_yes_no¶

getval_yes_no(message, default=True)

from bliss.shell.getval import getval_yes_no

 In [3]: if getval_yes_no("Do you want to open shutter ?", default="no"):
   ...:     print("ok, openning...")
   ...: else:
   ...:     print("abort...")

Do you want to open shutter ? [Y/n]: 0
Error: invalid input
Do you want to open shutter ? [Y/n]: 1
Error: invalid input
Do you want to open shutter ? [Y/n]: oui
Error: invalid input
Do you want to open shutter ? [Y/n]: YES
ok, openning...

Custom the style¶

By default the displayed of this function is basic, without any colors.

This can be custom with some style. See the prompt_toolkit documentation for more information.

This can be part of the setup of the BLISS session, to be applied globally.

from bliss.shell.pt import default_style

# User input (default text).
default_style.SHARED_STYLE["getval"] = "white"

# Other classes
default_style.SHARED_STYLE["getval question"] = "orange bold"
default_style.SHARED_STYLE["getval prompt_char"] = "yellow"
default_style.SHARED_STYLE["getval valid_input"] = "red bold"
default_style.SHARED_STYLE["getval separator"] = ""
default_style.SHARED_STYLE["getval description"] = "blue"

Styled getval helpers

Mostly the style classes follows this template:

[valid_input][separator][description]
[valid_input][separator][description]
[valid_input][separator][description]
[question][valid_input][prompt_char][]
