userprovided

The package "userprovided" checks input for plausibility. For example it can check whether a string is a valid email address or an URL.

There are plenty of validators out there. The reasons to write another one:

• It's sister-project exoskeleton needs some special features. This would be for example not only to check whether a string is an URL, but to also check whether the scheme is http or https.
• Extensive testing (unittests and automatic test generation with the hypothesis package)
• Modularity

Installation and Use

Install exoskeleton using pip or pip3. For example:

pip install userprovided

You may consider using a virtualenv.
