conversion
Utility functions to convert strings to Python types.
convert_base64
Converts base64 encoded strings or bytes into strings:
>>> from conversion import convert_base64
>>> convert_base64('dGVzdA==')
'test'
If the payload is expected to be bytes, string conversion can be suppressed:
>>> convert_base64('dGVzdA==', convert_string=False)
b'test'
When the function does not find the string can be converted, an exception can be raised:
>>> convert_base64('dGVzdA=', raise_exceptions=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/berto/Projects/home/conversion/conversion/base64.py", line 28, in convert_base64
converted = base64.b64decode(value)
File "/Users/berto/.local/share/virtualenvs/conversion-bncB6LgQ/lib/python3.6/base64.py", line 87, in b64decode
return binascii.a2b_base64(s)
binascii.Error: Incorrect padding
convert_bool
Converts truthy strings to True
and falsey strings to False
:
>>> from conversion import convert_bool
>>> convert_bool('yes')
True
>>> convert_bool('no')
False
When the function does not find the string can be converted, ValueError is raised:
>>> convert_bool('yup')
ValueError: invalid truth value 'yup'
convert_delta
Converts time with unit suffixes into datetime.timedelta
objects:
>>> from conversion import convert_delta
>>> convert_delta('1h')
datetime.timedelta(0, 3600)
convert_json
Converts JSON strings into objects:
>>> from conversion import convert_json
>>> convert_json('{"some": "dict", "in": "json"}')
{'some': 'dict', 'in': 'json'}
convert_list
Converts a comma-delimited string into a list:
>>> from conversion import convert_list
>>> convert_list('a,comma,delimited,list')
['a', 'comma', 'delimited', 'list']
And an optional kwarg can specify the delimiter:
>>> convert_list('a:colon:delimited:list', delimiter=':')
['a', 'colon', 'delimited', 'list']
