bibliopixel.project.construct module

bibliopixel.project.construct.construct(*args, datatype, typename=None, **kwds)

Construct an object from a type constructor.

A type constructor is a dictionary which has a field “datatype” which has a callable method to construct a class, and a field “typename” which is the Python path of the function or class in “datatype”.

bibliopixel.project.construct.construct_type(desc, python_path=None)

bibliopixel.project.construct.to_type(d)

bibliopixel.project.construct.to_type_constructor(value, python_path=None)

” Tries to convert a value to a type constructor.

If value is a string, then it used as the “typename” field.

If the “typename” field exists, the symbol for that name is imported and added to the type constructor as a field “datatype”.

Throws:

ImportError – if “typename” is set but cannot be imported ValueError – if “typename” is malformed
