Summary
=========
A Python library for variable type checker/validator/converter at a run time.

Features
==========
- checking a value type
- validate a value for a type
- convert a value from a type to the other type

The correspondence between Python types and ``typepy`` classes are as follows:

==================== =======================================================================================================
Python Type typepy: Type Class
==================== =======================================================================================================
``bool`` `Bool <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#bool-type>`__
``datetime`` `DateTime <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#datetime-type>`__
``dict`` `Dictionary <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#dictionary-type>`__
``inf`` `Infinity <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#infinity-type>`__
``int`` `Integer <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#integer-type>`__

``float`` `RealNumber <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#real-number-type>`__
``NaN`` `Nan <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#nan-type>`__
``None`` `None <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/type.html#none-type>`__

Usage
=======
Type Check Method
----------------------
:Examples:
.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer(1).is_type()
True
>>> Integer(1.1).is_type()
False


Type Validation Method
--------------------------------------------
:Examples:
.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer(1).validate()
>>> try:
... Integer(1.1).validate()
... except TypeError as e:
... print(e)
...
invalid value type: expected=INTEGER, actual=<type 'float'>


Type Conversion Methods
--------------------------------------------

convert method
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:Examples:
.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> from typepy import TypeConversionError
>>> Integer("1").convert()
1
>>> try:
... Integer(1.1).convert()
... except TypeConversionError as e:
... print(e) # convert() raised TypeConversionError when conversion failed
...
failed to convert from float to INTEGER

try_convert method
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:Examples:
.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer("1").try_convert()
1
>>> print(Integer(1.1).try_convert()) # try_convert() returned None when conversion failed
None

force_convert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:Examples:
.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer("1").force_convert() # force_convert() forcibly convert the value
1
>>> Integer(1.1).force_convert()
1


For more information
--------------------------------------------
Type check/validate/convert results differed according to
``strict_level`` value which can pass to typepy classes constructors as an argument.
More information can be found in the
`API reference <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/index.html>`__.
