To read the below python dict or its equivalent yaml and generate equivalent python function call
mydict = {'RouteAdd': {'route_config': {'RouteConfig': {'table_name': 'my table', 'app_id': 'my app', 'nexthops': [{'NexthopInfo': {'nexthop_index': 2, 'nexthop_address': {'GatewayAddress': {'ethernet_mac': 'my mac', 'nexthop_ip': 'my ip'}}, 'if_name': 'my interface'}}]}}}}
Its yaml(for readability):
RouteAdd:
route_config:
RouteConfig:
app_id: "my app"
nexthops:
- NexthopInfo:
if_name: "my interface"
nexthop_address:
GatewayAddress:
ethernet_mac: "my mac"
nexthop_ip: "my ip"
nexthop_index: 2
table_name: "my table"
I would like to read the above kind of yaml or python dict and call as below:
RouteAdd(route_config=Routeconfig(app_id="my app",nexthops=[NexthopInfo(if_name="my interface",nexthop_address=GatewayAddress(ethernet_mac="my mac",nexthop_ip="my ip"),nexthop_index=2)],table_name="my table"))
Basically alternate hierarchy is an object. What I have pasted is a small clip. Looking for a recursive function that does this by reading either a yaml or python dict and convert it to above format so that I can call and execute the function. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Try this:
def call_dict(d):
k, v = list(d.items())[0] # ('RouteAdd', {route_config: ...})
kwargs = {}
for k2, v2 in v.items():
if isinstance(v2, dict):
kwargs[k2] = call_dict(v2)
elif isinstance(v2, list):
kwargs[k2] = [(call_dict(v3) if isinstance(v3, dict) else v3) for v3 in v2]
else:
kwargs[k2] = v2
return globals()[k](**kwargs)
Test:
def test1(t_arg=None, t_arg2=None):
return t_arg + sum(t_arg2)
def test2(t_arg=None):
return t_arg
res = test1(t_arg=1, t_arg2=[test2(t_arg=2), test2(t_arg=3)])
print(res) # 6
test_dict = {
'test1': {
't_arg': 1,
't_arg2': [
{'test2': {'t_arg': 2}},
{'test2': {'t_arg': 3}},
]
}
}
res = call_dict(test_dict)
print(res) # 6
Upd:
As string of code:
def str_of_code(d):
k, v = list(d.items())[0]
kwargs = {}
for k2, v2 in v.items():
if isinstance(v2, dict):
kwargs[k2] = str_of_code(v2)
elif isinstance(v2, list):
kwargs[k2] = '[{}]'.format(', '.join(
(str_of_code(v3) if isinstance(v3, dict) else repr(v3)) for v3 in v2)
)
else:
kwargs[k2] = repr(v2)
return '{}({})'.format(k, ', '.join('{}={}'.format(*i) for i in kwargs.items()))
test_dict = {
'test1': {
't_arg': 1,
't_arg2': [
{'test2': {'t_arg': 2}},
{'test2': {'t_arg': 3}},
]
}
}
res = str_of_code(test_dict)
print(res) # test1(t_arg=1, t_arg2=[test2(t_arg=2), test2(t_arg=3)])
Tried all the methods available suggested in the forum, but somehow none was working out for the solution that I was looking for. Hence, being a beginner, solved it by the below unorthodox way of finding and replacing. If someone have a better solution, please post it and I would like to use it.
api_map_complete = {api: {'config': {'AddressConfig': {'unit': 0, 'port_name': "my_name", 'address': "my address", 'family': 2}}}}
def dict_to_obj(mystr,flag):
global api_string
if re.search(':\(',mystr):
if flag % 2 == 0:
api_string=mystr.replace(":(","(",1)
flag=flag+1
else:
api_string=mystr.replace(":("," = (",1)
flag=flag+1
dict_to_obj(api_string,flag)
else:
mystr=mystr.replace(":"," = ")
mystr=mystr.replace(",",", ")
api_string=mystr
for combo in api_map_complete:
api_name=combo.keys()[0]
for k,v in combo.iteritems():
api_string=str(v)
api_string=api_string.replace("{","(")
api_string=api_string.replace("}",")")
api_string=api_string.replace(" ","")
api_string=api_string.replace(":'",":\"")
api_string=api_string.replace("',","\",")
api_string=api_string.replace("')","\")")
api_string=api_string.replace("'","")
dict_to_obj(api_string,1)
#print api_string
api_obj=api_name+api_string
print api_obj
