pydantic 1.7.2

Data validation and settings management using python 3.6 type hinting

pydantic

Data validation and settings management using Python type hinting.

Fast and extensible, pydantic plays nicely with your linters/IDE/brain. Define how data should be in pure, canonical Python 3.6+; validate it with pydantic.

Help

See documentation for more details.

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

• Use chain.from_iterable in class_validators.py. This is a faster and more idiomatic way of using itertools.chain.

• Remove extra allOf from schema for fields with Union and custom Field, #1209 by @mostaphaRoudsari
• Updates OpenAPI schema generation to output all enums as separate models. Instead of inlining the enum values in the model schema, models now use a $ref property to point to the enum definition, #1173 by @calvinwyoung
