webkitcorepy 1.0.2

Library containing various Python support classes and functions.

webkitcorepy

Provides a number of utilities intended to support intermediate to advanced Python programming.

Requirements

The requests, six, and tblib libraries.

Usage

Version representation

from webkitcorepy import Version
version = Version(1, 2, 3)

Unicode stream management, designed to ease transition to Python 3

from webkitcorepy import BytesIO, StringIO, UnicodeIO, unicode

Encoding and decoding byte strings and unicode strings

from webkitcorepy import string_utils

string_utils.encode(...)
string_utils.decode(...)

Automatically install libraries on import.

from webkitcorepy import AutoInstall
AutoInstall.register(Package('requests', Version(2, 24)))
import requests

Mocking basic time and sleep calls

import time
from webkitcorepy import mocks

with mocks.Time:
    stamp = time.time()
    time.sleep(5)

Capturing stdout, stderr and logging output for testing

capturer = OutputCapture()
with capturer:
    print('data\n')
assert capturer.stdout.getvalue() == 'data\n'

Capturing stdout, stderr and logging output for testing

capturer = OutputCapture()
with capturer:
    print('data\n')
assert capturer.stdout.getvalue() == 'data\n'

Timeout context:

import time

from webkitcorepy import Timeout

with Timeout(5, handler=RuntimeError('Exceeded 5 second timeout')):
    time.sleep(4)

subprocess.run replacement:

import sys

from webkitcorepy import run

result = run([sys.executable, '-c', 'print("message")'], capture_output=True, encoding='utf-8')

Mocking of subprocess commands:

from webkitcorepy import mocks, run

with mocks.Subprocess(
    'ls', completion=mocks.ProcessCompletion(returncode=0, stdout='file1.txt\nfile2.txt\n'),
):
    result = run(['ls'], capture_output=True, encoding='utf-8')
    assert result.returncode == 0
    assert result.stdout == 'file1.txt\nfile2.txt\n'

The mocking system for subprocess also supports other subprocess APIs based on Popen:

with mocks.Subprocess(
    'ls', completion=mocks.ProcessCompletion(returncode=0, stdout='file1.txt\nfile2.txt\n'),
):
    assert subprocess.check_output(['ls']) == b'file1.txt\nfile2.txt\n'
    assert subprocess.check_call(['ls']) == 0

For writing integration tests, the mocking system for subprocess supports mocking multiple process calls at the same time:

with mocks.Subprocess(
    mocks.Subprocess.CommandRoute('command-a', 'argument', completion=mocks.ProcessCompletion(returncode=0)),
    mocks.Subprocess.CommandRoute('command-b', completion=mocks.ProcessCompletion(returncode=-1)),
):
    result = run(['command-a', 'argument'])
    assert result.returncode == 0

    result = run(['command-b'])
    assert result.returncode == -1
