# The Flat text file database class
[docs]class FlatDB(dict): """A database stored as a dictionary of dictionaries. Each record is a dictionary where keys and values are just strings. The field names (keys) can be different for each record, but there is at least one field that exists for all records and will be used as the primary key. This field should have unique values for all records. The database itself is also a dictionary, with the value of the primary key as key and the full record as value. On constructing the database a list of keys must be specified that will be required for each record. The first key in this list will be used as the primary key. Obviously, the list must at least have one required key. The database is stored in a flat text file. Each field (key,value pair) is put on a line by itself. Records are delimited by a (beginrec, endrec) pair. The beginrec marker can be followed by a (key,value) pair on the same line. The endrec marker should be on a line by itself. If endrec is an empty string, each occurrence of beginrec will implicitly end the previous record. Lines starting with the comment string are ignored. They can occur anywhere between or inside records. Blank lines are also ignored (except they serve as record delimiter if endrec is empty) Thus, with the initialization:: FlatDB(req_keys=['key1'], comment = 'com', key_sep = '=', beginrec = 'rec', endrec = '') the following is a legal database:: com This is a comment com rec key1=val1 key2=val2 rec com Yes, this starts another record key1=val3 key3=val4 The `readFile` function can even be instructed to ignore anything not between a (beginrec,endrec) pair. This allows for multiple databases being stored on the same file, even with records intermixed. Keys and values can be any strings, except that a key can not begin nor end with a blank, and can not be equal to any of the comment, beginrec or endrec markers. Whitespace around the key is always stripped. By default, this is also done for the value (though this can be switched off.) If strip_quotes is True (default), a single pair of matching quotes surrounding the value will be stripped off. Whitespace is stripped before stripping the quotes, so that by including the value in quotes, you can keep leading and trailing whitespace in the value. A record checking function can be specified. It takes a record as its argument. It is called whenever a new record is inserted in the database (or an existing one is replaced). Before calling this ``check_func``, the system will already have checked that the record is a dictionary and that it has all the required keys. Two error handlers may be overridden by the user: - record_error_handler(record) is called when the record does not pass the checks; - key_error_handler(key) is called when a dunplicat key is encountered. The default for both is to raise an error. Overriding is done by changing the instance attibute.
