octoprint.util¶

This module bundles commonly used utility methods or helper classes that are used in multiple places within OctoPrint’s source code.

class octoprint.util.CaseInsensitiveSet(*args)¶

Basic case insensitive set

Any str or unicode values will be stored and compared in lower case. Other value types are left as-is.

class octoprint.util.DefaultOrderedDict(default_factory=None, *a, **kw)¶

copy() → a shallow copy of od¶

class octoprint.util.PrependableQueue(maxsize=0)¶

class octoprint.util.RepeatedTimer(interval, function, args=None, kwargs=None, run_first=False, condition=None, on_condition_false=None, on_cancelled=None, on_finish=None, daemon=True)¶

This class represents an action that should be run repeatedly in an interval. It is similar to python’s own threading.Timer class, but instead of only running once the function will be run again and again, sleeping the stated interval in between.

RepeatedTimers are started, as with threads, by calling their start() method. The timer can be stopped (in between runs) by calling the cancel() method. The interval the time waited before execution of a loop may not be exactly the same as the interval specified by the user.

For example:

def hello():
    print("Hello World!")

t = RepeatedTimer(1.0, hello)
t.start() # prints "Hello World!" every second

Another example with dynamic interval and loop condition:

count = 0
maximum = 5
factor = 1

def interval():
    global count
    global factor
    return count * factor

def condition():
    global count
    global maximum
    return count <= maximum

def hello():
    print("Hello World!")

    global count
    count += 1

t = RepeatedTimer(interval, hello, run_first=True, condition=condition)
t.start() # prints "Hello World!" 5 times, printing the first one
          # directly, then waiting 1, 2, 3, 4s in between (adaptive interval)

Parameters

interval (float or callable) – The interval between each function call, in seconds. Can also be a callable returning the interval to use, in case the interval is not static.
function (callable) – The function to call.
args (list or tuple) – The arguments for the function call. Defaults to an empty list.
kwargs (dict) – The keyword arguments for the function call. Defaults to an empty dict.
run_first (boolean) – If set to True, the function will be run for the first time before the first wait period. If set to False (the default), the function will be run for the first time after the first wait period.
condition (callable) – Condition that needs to be True for loop to continue. Defaults to lambda: True.
on_condition_false (callable) – Callback to call when the timer finishes due to condition becoming false. Will be called before the on_finish callback.
on_cancelled (callable) – Callback to call when the timer finishes due to being cancelled. Will be called before the on_finish callback.
on_finish (callable) – Callback to call when the timer finishes, either due to being cancelled or since the condition became false.
daemon (bool) – daemon flag to set on underlying thread.

run()¶

Method representing the thread’s activity.

You may override this method in a subclass. The standard run() method invokes the callable object passed to the object’s constructor as the target argument, if any, with sequential and keyword arguments taken from the args and kwargs arguments, respectively.

class octoprint.util.ResettableTimer(interval, function, args=None, kwargs=None, on_reset=None, on_cancelled=None, daemon=True)¶

This class represents an action that should be run after a specified amount of time. It is similar to python’s own threading.Timer class, with the addition of being able to reset the counter to zero.

ResettableTimers are started, as with threads, by calling their start() method. The timer can be stopped (in between runs) by calling the cancel() method. Resetting the counter can be done with the reset() method.

For example:

def hello():
    print("Ran hello() at {}").format(time.time())

t = ResettableTimer(60.0, hello)
t.start()
print("Started at {}").format(time.time())
time.sleep(30)
t.reset()
print("Reset at {}").format(time.time())

Parameters

interval (float or callable) – The interval before calling function, in seconds. Can also be a callable returning the interval to use, in case the interval is not static.
function (callable) – The function to call.
args (list or tuple) – The arguments for the function call. Defaults to an empty list.
kwargs (dict) – The keyword arguments for the function call. Defaults to an empty dict.
on_cancelled (callable) – Callback to call when the timer finishes due to being cancelled.
on_reset (callable) – Callback to call when the timer is reset.
daemon (bool) – daemon flag to set on underlying thread.

run()¶

Method representing the thread’s activity.

You may override this method in a subclass. The standard run() method invokes the callable object passed to the object’s constructor as the target argument, if any, with sequential and keyword arguments taken from the args and kwargs arguments, respectively.

exception octoprint.util.TypeAlreadyInQueue(t, *args, **kwargs)¶

class octoprint.util.TypedQueue(maxsize=0)¶

get(*args, **kwargs)¶

Remove and return an item from the queue.

If optional args ‘block’ is true and ‘timeout’ is None (the default), block if necessary until an item is available. If ‘timeout’ is a non-negative number, it blocks at most ‘timeout’ seconds and raises the Empty exception if no item was available within that time. Otherwise (‘block’ is false), return an item if one is immediately available, else raise the Empty exception (‘timeout’ is ignored in that case).

put(item, item_type=None, *args, **kwargs)¶

Put an item into the queue.

If optional args ‘block’ is true and ‘timeout’ is None (the default), block if necessary until a free slot is available. If ‘timeout’ is a non-negative number, it blocks at most ‘timeout’ seconds and raises the Full exception if no free slot was available within that time. Otherwise (‘block’ is false), put an item on the queue if a free slot is immediately available, else raise the Full exception (‘timeout’ is ignored in that case).

octoprint.util.chunks(l, n)¶

Yield successive n-sized chunks from l.

octoprint.util.count(gen)¶: Used instead of len(generator), which doesn’t work

octoprint.util.deprecated(message, stacklevel=1, since=None, includedoc=None, extenddoc=False)¶

A decorator for deprecated methods. Logs a deprecation warning via Python’s :mod:`warnings module including the supplied message. The call stack level used (for adding the source location of the offending call to the warning) can be overridden using the optional stacklevel parameter. If both since and includedoc are provided, a deprecation warning will also be added to the function’s docstring by providing or extending its __doc__ property.

Parameters

message (string) – The message to include in the deprecation warning.
stacklevel (int) – Stack level for including the caller of the offending method in the logged warning. Defaults to 1, meaning the direct caller of the method. It might make sense to increase this in case of the function call happening dynamically from a fixed position to not shadow the real caller (e.g. in case of overridden getattr methods).
includedoc (string) – Message about the deprecation to include in the wrapped function’s docstring.
extenddoc (boolean) – If True the original docstring of the wrapped function will be extended by the deprecation message, if False (default) it will be replaced with the deprecation message.
since (string) – Version since when the function was deprecated, must be present for the docstring to get extended.

Returns

The wrapped function with the deprecation warnings in place.
