mosromgr 0.10.0

Command line

Inspect a MOS file:

$ mosromgr inspect -f 53783448-roStoryReplace.mos.xml
53783448-roStoryReplace.mos.xml: StoryReplace
REPLACE STORY: OM_5.765650;OM_5.765654,5.765650.7 WITH:
    STORY: OM_5.765650;OM_5.765654,5.765650.7

Merge all MOS files in directory newsnight and save in FINAL.xml:

$ mosromgr merge -f newsnight/* -o FINAL.xml

Library

Load a roCreate file and view its stories:

from mosromgr.mostypes import RunningOrder

ro = RunningOrder.from_file('roCreate.mos.xml')

for story in ro.stories:
    print(story.slug)

Merge a single roStorySend into a roCreate and output the file to a new file:

from mosromgr.mostypes import RunningOrder, StorySend

ro = RunningOrder.from_file('roCreate.mos.xml')
ss = StorySend.from_file('roStorySend.mos.xml')

ro += ss

with open('final.mos.xml', 'w') as f:
    f.write(str(ro))

If you’re automating this process you won’t necessarily know which MOS Type to use, so you can construct an object from the base class MosFile which will automatically classify your file:

>>> from mosromgr.mostypes import MosFile
>>> mf1 = MosFile.from_file('roCreate.mos.xml')
>>> mf1
<RunningOrder 1000>
>>> mf2 = MosFile.from_file('roStorySend.mos.xml')
>>> mf2
<StorySend 1001>

Using MosCollection will sort and classify multiple MOS types of all given files, allowing you to process a collection of MOS files within a complete or partially complete programme:

from mosromgr.moscollection import MosCollection

mos_files = ['roCreate.mos.xml', 'roStorySend.mos.xml', 'roDelete.mos.xml']
mc = MosCollection.from_files(mos_files)

mc.merge()
with open('final.mos.xml', 'w') as f:
    f.write(str(mc))
