productmd.common.RELEASE_VERSION_RE = <_sre.SRE_Pattern object>

Validation regex for release version: any string or [0-9] separated with dots.

Functions

productmd.common.parse_nvra(nvra)

Parameters:nvra (str) – N-E:V-R.A string, eventually a file name or a file path incl. ‘.rpm’ suffix
Return type:dict
productmd.common.create_release_id(short, version, type, bp_short=None, bp_version=None, bp_type=None)

Create release_id from given parts.

Parameters:
  • short (str) – Release short name
  • version (str) – Release version
  • version – Release type
  • bp_short (str) – Base Product short name
  • bp_version (str) – Base Product version

Return type:

str
productmd.common.parse_release_id(release_id)

Parse release_id to parts: {short, version, type} or {short, version, type, bp_short, bp_version, bp_type}

Parameters:release_id (str) – Release ID string
Return type:dict
productmd.common.is_valid_release_short(short)

Determine if given release short name is valid.

Parameters:short (str) – Release short name
Return type:bool
productmd.common.is_valid_release_version(version)

Determine if given release version is valid.

Parameters:version (str) – Release version
Return type:bool
productmd.common.split_version(version)

Split version to a list of integers that can be easily compared.

Parameters:version (str) – Release version
Return type:[int] or [string]
productmd.common.get_major_version(version, remove=1)

Return major version of a provided version string.

Parameters:
  • version (str) – Version string
  • remove (int) – Number of version parts to remove; defaults to 1
Return type:

str
productmd.common.get_minor_version(version, remove=1)

Return minor version of a provided version string.

Parameters:
  • version (str) – Version string
  • remove (int) – Number of version parts to remove; defaults to 1
Return type:

str

Classes

class productmd.common.MetadataBase
validate()

Validate attributes by running all self._validate_*() methods.

Raises:
  • TypeError – if an attribute has invalid type
  • ValueError – if an attribute contains invalid value
load(f)

Load data from a file.

Parameters:f (file or str) – file-like object or path to file
loads(s)

Load data from a string.

Parameters:s (str) – input data
dump(f)

Dump data to a file.

Parameters:f (file or str) – file-like object or path to file
dumps()

Dump data to a string.

Return type:str
class productmd.common.Header(parent, metadata_type)

This class represents the header used in serialized metadata files.

It consists of a type and a version. The type is meant purely for consumers of the file to know what they are dealing with without having to check filename. The version is used by productmd when parsing the file.
