pydantic 1.10.15

Data validation and settings management using python type hints

pydantic

Data validation and settings management using Python type hints.

Fast and extensible, pydantic plays nicely with your linters/IDE/brain. Define how data should be in pure, canonical Python 3.7+; validate it with pydantic.

Pydantic Company :rocket:

We've started a company based on the principles that I believe have led to Pydantic's success. Learning more from the Company Announcement.

Installation

Install using pip install -U pydantic or conda install pydantic -c conda-forge. For more installation options to make pydantic even faster, see the Install section in the documentation.

A Simple Example

from datetime import datetime
from typing import List, Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel):
    id: int
    name = 'John Doe'
    signup_ts: Optional[datetime] = None
    friends: List[int] = []

external_data = {'id': '123', 'signup_ts': '2017-06-01 12:22', 'friends': [1, '2', b'3']}
user = User(**external_data)
print(user)
#> User id=123 name='John Doe' signup_ts=datetime.datetime(2017, 6, 1, 12, 22) friends=[1, 2, 3]
print(user.id)
#> 123

v1.9.2 (2022-08-11)

Revert Breaking Change: v1.9.1 introduced a breaking change where model fields were deep copied by default, this release reverts the default behaviour to match v1.9.0 and before, while also allow deep-copy behaviour via copy_on_model_validation = 'deep'. See #4092 for more information.
