class ironicclient.common.utils.HelpFormatter(prog, indent_increment=2, max_help_position=24, width=None)[source]¶

Bases: argparse.HelpFormatter

start_section(heading)[source]¶

ironicclient.common.utils.args_array_to_dict(kwargs, key_to_convert)[source]¶

Convert the value in a dictionary entry to a dictionary.

From the kwargs dictionary, converts the value of the key_to_convert entry from a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary.

Parameters:	kwargs – a dictionary key_to_convert – the key (in kwargs), whose value is expected to be a list of key=value strings. This value will be converted to a dictionary.
Returns:	kwargs, the (modified) dictionary

ironicclient.common.utils.args_array_to_patch(op, attributes)[source]¶

ironicclient.common.utils.bool_argument_value(arg_name, bool_str, strict=True, default=False)[source]¶

Returns the Boolean represented by bool_str.

Returns the Boolean value for the argument named arg_name. The value is represented by the string bool_str. If the string is an invalid Boolean string: if strict is True, a CommandError exception is raised; otherwise the default value is returned.

Parameters:	arg_name – The name of the argument bool_str – The string representing a Boolean value strict – Used if the string is invalid. If True, raises an exception. If False, returns the default value. default – The default value to return if the string is invalid and not strict
Returns:	the Boolean value represented by bool_str or the default value if bool_str is invalid and strict is False
Raises:	CommandError – if bool_str is an invalid Boolean string

ironicclient.common.utils.check_empty_arg(arg, arg_descriptor)[source]¶

ironicclient.common.utils.check_for_invalid_fields(fields, valid_fields)[source]¶

Check for invalid fields.

Parameters:	fields – A list of fields specified by the user. valid_fields – A list of valid fields.
Raises:	CommandError – If invalid fields were specified by the user.

ironicclient.common.utils.common_filters(marker=None, limit=None, sort_key=None, sort_dir=None, fields=None, detail=False)[source]¶

Generate common filters for any list request.

Parameters:

marker – entity ID from which to start returning entities. limit – maximum number of entities to return. sort_key – field to use for sorting. sort_dir – direction of sorting: ‘asc’ or ‘desc’. fields – a list with a specified set of fields of the resource to be returned. detail – Boolean, True to return detailed information. This parameter can be used for resources which accept ‘detail’ as a URL parameter.

Returns:

list of string filters.

ironicclient.common.utils.common_params_for_list(args, fields, field_labels)[source]¶

Generate ‘params’ dict that is common for every ‘list’ command.

Parameters:	args – arguments from command line. fields – possible fields for sorting. field_labels – possible field labels for sorting.
Returns:	a dict with params to pass to the client method.

ironicclient.common.utils.convert_list_props_to_comma_separated(data, props=None)[source]¶

Convert the list-type properties to comma-separated strings

Parameters:	data – the input dict object. props – the properties whose values will be converted. Default to None to convert all list-type properties of the input.
Returns:	the result dict instance.

ironicclient.common.utils.define_command(subparsers, command, callback, cmd_mapper)[source]¶

Define a command in the subparsers collection.

Parameters:	subparsers – subparsers collection where the command will go command – command name callback – function that will be used to process the command

ironicclient.common.utils.define_commands_from_module(subparsers, command_module, cmd_mapper)[source]¶

Add do_ methods in a module and add as commands into a subparsers.

ironicclient.common.utils.get_from_stdin(info_desc)[source]¶

Read information from stdin.

Parameters:	info_desc – A string description of the desired information

Raises:	InvalidAttribute if the argument cannot be parsed.

ironicclient.common.utils.key_value_pairs_to_dict(key_value_pairs)[source]¶

Convert a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary.

Parameters:	key_value_pairs – a list of strings, each string is in the form <key>=<value>
Returns:	a dictionary, possibly empty

ironicclient.common.utils.make_configdrive(path)[source]¶

Make the config drive file.

ironicclient.common.utils.split_and_deserialize(string)[source]¶

Split and try to JSON deserialize a string.

Gets a string with the KEY=VALUE format, split it (using ‘=’ as the separator) and try to JSON deserialize the VALUE.

Returns:	A tuple of (key, value).
