API Documentation

shackles.broken(obj, chain)

Return name of first missing named attribute of object.

If chain is not broken (all attributes are represented in chain) nothing is returned.

# obj.a.b.e
assert shackles.broken(obj, 'a.b.c') == 'c'
shackles.get(obj, chain[, default])

Return value of final named attribute in chain of object.

If a named attribute does not exist, default is returned if provided, otherwise AttributeError is raised.

# obj.a.b
assert shackles.get(obj, 'a.b.c', 5) == 5

# obj.a.b.c = 6
assert shackles.get(obj, 'a.b.c', 5) == 6
shackles.has(obj, chain)

Return True if the chain of attributes exists on the object, False if not.

# obj.a.b.c
assert shackles.has(obj, 'a.b.c']) == True
shackles.walk(obj, chain)

Generate the values of the attributes in the chain by walking the named attributes in the chain from the object.

If a named attribute does not exist, default is returned if provided, otherwise AttributeError is raised.

# a = obj; b = obj; c = obj
# a.name = 'a'; b.name = 'b'; c.name = 'c'
# a.b = b; b.c = c
assert next(shackles.walk(a, 'b.c')).name == 'b'

For further examples refer to included tests.
