Advanced Argument Parser for WikiMacros

Description

This plugin provides an advanced version of the parse_args function for WikiMacros.

This function is used in WikiMacros to parse the macro arguments. This enhanced version is meant as a replacement of trac.wiki.macros.parse_args and supports several advanced options, see section #Parameters. The most important feature is the support for quoting the delimiter, eg key1=val1, key2="some,text", key3=val3 will correctly return some,text as the value of key2. The original parse_args function would return "some and handle text" as separate argument.

Other plugins which use this plugin:

• GoogleMapMacro
• GoogleStaticMapMacro
• ListOfWikiPagesMacro
• TicketChartsMacro

Definition

def parse_args (args, strict = True, multi = False, listonly = False, minlen = 0,
        quotechar = '"', escchar = '\\', delim = ',', delquotes = False)

Usage Example

# Instead of: from trac.wiki.macros import parse_args
# Use:
from tracadvparseargs import *

class SomeMacro(WikiMacroBase):
    def expand_macro(self, formatter, name, args):
        largs, kwargs = parse_args( args, <options> )

Parameters

args

The argument string; 'content' in `expand_macro. This is the only mandatory argument.

strict

Enables strict checking of keys.

multi

Enables folding of multiple given keys into a list.
If set to True, values of multiple given keys will be returned as list, but single given keys will return a scalar.
If set to list, only the values of the listed keys will be returned as list, but always as list even when there is only one value.
If this list contains '*', then all values are always returned as a list.

listonly

If true only a list is returned, no directionary.

minlen

Extend returned list to given minimum length. Only used when listonly=True.

Parser parameters

quotechar

The quote character to be used.

escchar

The escape character to be used.

delim

The delimiter character to be used.

delquotes

Selects whether quotes should be removed.
