Members

import_infile(in_path)

Attempt import of indicated file.

Convenience function wrapping attempts to load an Inventory from a local path.

Parameters:: in_path – str – Path to input file
Returns:: inv – Inventory or None – If instantiation with the file at in_path succeeds, the resulting Inventory instance; otherwise, None

inv_local(params)

Create Inventory from local source.

Uses resolve_inpath() to sanity-check and/or convert INFILE.

Calls sys.exit() internally in error-exit situations.

Parameters:

params – dict – Parameters/values mapping from the active subparser

Returns:

inv_stdin(params)

Create Inventory from contents of stdin.

Due to stdin’s encoding and formatting assumptions, only text-based inventory formats can be sanely parsed.

Thus, only plaintext and JSON inventory formats can be used as inputs here.

Parameters:: params – dict – Parameters/values mapping from the active subparser
Returns:: inv – Inventory – Object representation of the inventory provided at stdin

inv_url(params)

Create Inventory from file downloaded from URL.

Initially, treats INFILE as a download URL to be passed to the url initialization argument of Inventory.

If an inventory is not found at that exact URL, progressively searches the directory tree of the URL for objects.inv.

Injects the URL at which an inventory was found into params under the FOUND_URL key.

Calls sys.exit() internally in error-exit situations.

Parameters:

params – dict – Parameters/values mapping from the active subparser

Returns:

inv – Inventory – Object representation of the inventory at INFILE
ret_path – str – URL from INFILE used to construct inv. If URL is longer than 45 characters, the central portion is elided.
