WSGI Middleware and web framework extensions for handling User-Agent.

WSGI Middleware and web framework extensions for handling User-Agent. Thanks to woothee , UADetector supports various User-Agents. This library respects to k0kubun/rack-user_agent .

Installation

$ pip install uadetector

Usage

WSGI middleware

This middleware provides a uadetector.useragent.UserAgent object to handling User-agents.

from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

# import middleware
from uadetector import UADetector

def app(environ, start_response):
    start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/plain')])

    # get 'UserAgent' object from environ dict.
    ua = environ.get('uadetector.useragent')

    ua.user_agent       #=> "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; ..."
    ua.device_type      #=> "pc"
    ua.os               #=> "Mac OSX"
    ua.browser          #=> "Chrome"
    ua.from_pc          #=> True
    ua.from_smartphone  #=> False

    return [ua.os.encoding('utf-8')]

# Apply middleware
application = UADetector(app)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    with make_server('127.0.0.1', 8000, application) as server:
        print("Serving on port 8000...")
        server.serve_forever()

You can also replace the key of environ or the UserAgent class.

from uadetector.useragent import UserAgent

class MyUserAgent(UserAgent):
     # Write your custom codes.

# Apply middleware
application = UADetector(
   app,
   envorion_key='your.favorite.key'
   useragent_class='path.to.MyUserAgent'
)

See also WSGI example.

Web framework extensions

Some web frameworks provide a way to extend in a different way from WSGI Middleware. We provide shortcuts according to that way.

Caution: I do not actively support individual frameworks. If you are worried, you should use WSGIMiddleware.

Django

You can use Django’s MIDDLEWARE.

# settings.py

MIDDLEWARE = [
   # Add UADetecorMiddleware
   'uadetector.django.middleware.UADetectorMiddleware',
   # ... omit ...
]

# views.py

def index_view(request):
    print(request.ua.from_smartphone) # => True or False
    # ... omit ...

Customize property name of request object and replace UserAgent class.

# settings.py

UADETECTOR_REQUEST_PROPERTY_NAME = 'agent' # => You can use "request.agent"
UADETECTOR_USERAGENT_CLASS = 'path.to.MyUserAgent'

See also Dajngo example.

Pyramid

You can use config.add_request_method.

from uadetector.pyramid import ua_prop


def index(request):
    print(request.ua.from_smartphone) # => True or False
    # ... omit ...


with Configurator() as config:
    config.add_route('index', '/')
    config.add_view(index, route_name='index')

    config.add_request_method(ua_prop(), name='ua', reify=True)
    # ... omit ...

Customize property name of request object and replace UserAgent class.

config.add_request_method(
    ua_prop('path.to.MyUserAgent'),
    name='agent',  # => You can use "request.agent"
    reify=True
)

See also Pyramid example.

Flask

You can use Flask Extension.

from flask import Flask, request
from uadetector.flask import UADetector

app = Flask(__name__)
UADetector(app)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    print(request.ua.from_smartphone) # => True or False
    # ... omit ...

Customize property name of request object and replace UserAgent class.

app = Flask(__name__)

app.config['UADETECTOR_USERAGENT_CLASS'] = 'path.to.MyUserAgent'
app.config['UADETECTOR_REQUEST_PROPERTY_NAME'] = 'agent' # => You can use "request.agent"

UADetector(app)

See also Flask example.

Tornado

You can use custom RequestHandler.

from uadetector.tornado.web import RequestHandler

class IndexHandler(RequestHandler):

    def get(self):
        print(self.request.ua.from_smartphone) # => True or False
        # ... omit ...

Customize property name of request object and replace UserAgent class.

from tornado.options import define
from uadetector.tornado.web import RequestHandler

define(
    'uadetector_request_property_name',
    default='agent', # => You can use "self.request.agent"
)
define(
    'uadetector_useragent_class',
    default='path.to.MyUserAgent'
)

class IndexHandler(RequestHandler):

See also Tornado example.

Tips

If you want a UserAgent object simply from the User-Agent string, Please use get_useruseragent.

from uadetector import get_useragent

ua_string = "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS ..."

ua = get_useragent(ua_string)
us.from_smartphone # => True

# Use custom useragent class
ua = get_useragent(ua_string, useragent_class='path.to.MyUserAgent')
