pcvs.backend.profile module

class pcvs.backend.profile.Profile(name, scope=None)[source]

Bases: object

A profile represents the most complete object the user can provide.

It is built upon 5 components, called configuration blocks (or basic blocks), one of each kind (compiler, runtime, machine, criterion & group) and gathers all required information to start a validation process. A profile object is the basic representation to be manipulated by the user.

Note

A profile object can be confused with pcvs.helpers.system.MetaConfig. While both are carrying the whole user configuration, a Profile object is used to build/manipulate it, while a Metaconfig is the actual internal representation of a complete run config.

Parameters:

_name (str) – profile name, should be unique for a given scope
_scope (str) – profile scope, allowed values in storage_order(), defaults to None
_exists (bool) – return True if the profile exists on disk.
_file (str) – profile file absolute path

check(allow_legacy=True)[source]

Ensure profile meets scheme requirements, as a concatenation of 5 configuration block schemes.

Raises:: FormatError – A ‘kind’ is missing from profile OR incorrect profile.

clone(clone)[source]

Duplicate a valid profile into the current one.

Parameters:: clone (Profile) – a valid profile object

property compiler

Access the ‘compiler’ section.

Returns:: the ‘compiler’ dict segment
Return type:: dict

property criterion

Access the ‘criterion’ section.

Returns:: the ‘criterion’ dict segment
Return type:: dict

delete()[source]

Remove the current profile from disk.

It does not destroy the Python object, though.

display()[source]: Display profile data into stdout/file.

dump()[source]

Return the full profile content as a single regular dict.

This function loads the profile on disk first.

Returns:: a regular dict for this profile
Return type:: dict

edit()[source]

Open the editor to manipulate profile content.

Parameters:: e (str) – an editor program to use instead of defaults
Raises:: Exception – Something happened while editing the file

Warning

If the edition failed (validation failed) a rejected file is created in the current directory containing the rejected profile. Once manually edited, it may be submitted again through pcvs profile import.

edit_plugin()[source]

Edit the ‘runtime.plugin’ section of the current profile.

Parameters:: e (str) – an editor program to use instead of defaults
Raises:: Exception – Something happened while editing the file.

Warning

If the edition failed (validation failed) a rejected file is created in the current directory containing the rejected profile. Once manually edited, it may be submitted again through pcvs profile import.

fill(raw)[source]

Update the given profile with content stored in parameter.

Parameters:: raw (dict) – tree of (key, values) pairs to update

flush_to_disk()[source]

Write down profile to disk.

Also, ensure the filepath is valid and profile content is compliant with schemes.

property full_name

Return fully-qualified profile name (scope + name).

Returns:: the unique profile name.
Return type:: str

get_unique_id()[source]

Compute unique hash string identifying a profile.

This is required to make distinction between multiple profiles, based on its content (banks relies on such unicity).

Returns:: an hashed version of profile content
Return type:: str

property group

Access the ‘group’ section.

Returns:: the ‘group’ dict segment
Return type:: dict

is_found()[source]

Check if the current profile exists on disk.

Returns:: True if the file exist on disk
Return type:: bool

load_from_disk()[source]

Load the profile from its representation on disk.

Raises:

NotFoundError – profile does not exist
NotFoundError – profile path is not valid

load_template(name='default')[source]

Populate the profile from templates of 5 basic config. blocks.

Filepath still need to be determined via retrieve_file() call.

property machine

Access the ‘machine’ section.

Returns:: the ‘machine’ dict segment
Return type:: dict

property runtime

Access the ‘runtime’ section.

Returns:: the ‘runtime’ dict segment
Return type:: dict

property scope

Return the profile scope.

Returns:: profile scope
Return type:: str

split_into_configs(prefix, blocklist, scope=None)[source]

Convert the given profile into a list of basic blocks.

This is the reverse operation of creating a profile (not the ‘opposite’).

Parameters:

prefix (str) – common prefix name used to name basic blocks.
blocklist (list) – list of config.blocks to generate (all 5 by default but can be retrained)
scope (str, optional) – config block scope, defaults to None

Raises:

AlreadyExistError – the created configuration block name already exist

Returns:

list of created ConfigurationBlock

Return type:

list

pcvs.backend.profile.init()[source]: Initialization callback, loading available profiles on disk.

pcvs.backend.profile.list_profiles(scope=None)[source]

Return a list of valid profiles found on disk.

Parameters:: scope (str, optional) – restriction on scope, defaults to None
Returns:: dict of 3 dicts (‘user’, ‘local’ & ‘global’) or a single dict (if ‘scope’ was set), containing, for each profile name, the filepath.
Return type:: dict

pcvs.backend.profile.list_templates()[source]

List available templates to be used for boostraping profiles.

Returns:: a list of valid templates.
Return type:: list
