Multikey Dictionaries
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
A MultiKeyDict is a dictionary that expects its keys to be tuples.
|
|
|
|
>>> from cybertools.index.multikey import MultiKeyDict
|
|
>>> registry = MultiKeyDict()
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', None, None, None)] = 'global index.html'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', None, None, None)]
|
|
'global index.html'
|
|
|
|
So this would be nothing special - any dictionary is able to provide this
|
|
functionality; but a MultiKeyDict has some fallback mechanisms for retrieving
|
|
objects only partly fitting the requested key:
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', 'topic', 'zope3', 'Custom')]
|
|
'global index.html'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', 'topic', None, None)] = 'index.html for type "topic"'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', 'topic', 'zope3', 'Custom')]
|
|
'index.html for type "topic"'
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to keep intermediate parts of a key variable by
|
|
setting them to None:
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', None, None, 'Custom')] = 'Global index.html for Custom skin'
|
|
|
|
The more on the left a matching key part is the higher is its priority:
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', 'topic', 'zope3', 'Custom')]
|
|
'index.html for type "topic"'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', 'task', 'bugfixes', 'Custom')]
|
|
'Global index.html for Custom skin'
|
|
|
|
Index entries that are present in the stored dictionaries must always match:
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('edit.html', 'topic', 'zope3', 'Custom')] = 'very special edit.html'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', 'task', 'bugfixes', 'Custom')]
|
|
'Global index.html for Custom skin'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('index.html', 'topic', 'zope3', 'Custom')]
|
|
'index.html for type "topic"'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry.get(('edit.html', 'task', 'bugfixes', 'Custom')) is None
|
|
True
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('edit.html', None, None, 'Custom')] = 'edit.html for Custom skin'
|
|
|
|
>>> registry.get(('edit.html', 'task', 'bugfixes', '')) is None
|
|
True
|
|
|
|
>>> registry[('edit.html', 'task', 'bugfixes', 'Custom')]
|
|
'edit.html for Custom skin'
|
