| """Conversion pipeline templates. |
| |
| The problem: |
| ------------ |
| |
| Suppose you have some data that you want to convert to another format |
| (e.g. from GIF image format to PPM image format). Maybe the |
| conversion involves several steps (e.g. piping it through compress or |
| uuencode). Some of the conversion steps may require that their input |
| is a disk file, others may be able to read standard input; similar for |
| their output. The input to the entire conversion may also be read |
| from a disk file or from an open file, and similar for its output. |
| |
| The module lets you construct a pipeline template by sticking one or |
| more conversion steps together. It will take care of creating and |
| removing temporary files if they are necessary to hold intermediate |
| data. You can then use the template to do conversions from many |
| different sources to many different destinations. The temporary |
| file names used are different each time the template is used. |
| |
| The templates are objects so you can create templates for many |
| different conversion steps and store them in a dictionary, for |
| instance. |
| |
| |
| Directions: |
| ----------- |
| |
| To create a template: |
| t = Template() |
| |
| To add a conversion step to a template: |
| t.append(command, kind) |
| where kind is a string of two characters: the first is '-' if the |
| command reads its standard input or 'f' if it requires a file; the |
| second likewise for the output. The command must be valid /bin/sh |
| syntax. If input or output files are required, they are passed as |
| $IN and $OUT; otherwise, it must be possible to use the command in |
| a pipeline. |
| |
| To add a conversion step at the beginning: |
| t.prepend(command, kind) |
| |
| To convert a file to another file using a template: |
| sts = t.copy(infile, outfile) |
| If infile or outfile are the empty string, standard input is read or |
| standard output is written, respectively. The return value is the |
| exit status of the conversion pipeline. |
| |
| To open a file for reading or writing through a conversion pipeline: |
| fp = t.open(file, mode) |
| where mode is 'r' to read the file, or 'w' to write it -- just like |
| for the built-in function open() or for os.popen(). |
| |
| To create a new template object initialized to a given one: |
| t2 = t.clone() |
| |
| For an example, see the function test() at the end of the file. |
