data_merge

Tools for merging data.

Attributes

COMPREHENSIVE module-attribute

COMPREHENSIVE = 'comprehensive'

Comprehensively merge the two data structures.

• Scalars are overwritten by the new values
• lists are merged and de-duplicated
• dicts are recursively merged

UPDATE module-attribute

UPDATE = 'update'

Overwrite at the top level like dict.update().

Functions

comprehensive_merge

comprehensive_merge(left_val: T, right_val: T) -> T

Merges data comprehensively.

All arguments must be of the same type.

• Scalars are overwritten by the new values
• lists are merged and de-duplicated
• dicts are recursively merged

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
left_val	The item to merge into TYPE: T
right_val	The item to merge from TYPE: T

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
T	The merged data

freeze_data

freeze_data(obj: set | frozenset) -> frozenset

freeze_data(obj: tuple | list) -> tuple

freeze_data(
    obj: dict | OrderedDict | immutabledict,
) -> immutabledict

freeze_data(obj: str) -> str

freeze_data(obj: int) -> int

freeze_data(obj: float) -> float

freeze_data(obj: bytes) -> bytes

freeze_data(obj: Any) -> Any

Check type and recursively return a new read-only object.

merge_iterables

merge_iterables(iter1: Iterable, iter2: Iterable) -> set

Merge and de-duplicate a bunch of lists into a single list.

Order is not guaranteed.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
iter1	An Iterable TYPE: Iterable
iter2	An Iterable TYPE: Iterable

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
set	The merged, de-duplicated sequence as a set

nested_overwrite

nested_overwrite(*dicts: dict) -> dict

Merges dicts deeply.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
*dicts	List of dicts to merge with the first one as the base TYPE: dict DEFAULT: ()

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
dict	The merged dict TYPE: dict

update

update(left_val: T, right_val: T) -> T

Do a dict.update on all the dicts.
