    yield node
    stack.extend(reversed(node.children()))

diff(node: TreeNode) → EditedTreeNode | T

Performs a diff against the provided node.

Returns:: An edited version of this node with all edits being completed.
Return type:: Union[EditedTreeNode, T]

editable_dict() → Dict[str, Any]

Copies self.__dict__, calling TreeNode.editable_dict() on any TreeNode objects therein.

if not self.is_leaf:
    for key, value in ret.items():
        if isinstance(value, TreeNode):
            ret[key] = value.make_edited()

name: StringNode

property parent: TreeNode | None

The parent node of this node, or None if it has no parent.

The setter for this property should only be called by the parent node setting itself as the parent of its child.

ContainerNode subclasses automatically set this property for all of their children. However, if you define a subclass of TreeNode does not extend off of ContainerNode and for which len(self.children()) > 0, then each child’s parent must be set.

post_init()

Callback called after this class’s members have been initialized.

This callback should not call super().post_init(). Each superclass’s post_init() will be automatically called in order of the __mro__.

print(printer: Printer): Prints this node.

print_parent_context(printer: Printer, for_child: TreeNode)

Prints the context for the given child node.

For example, if this node represents a list and the child is the element at index 3, then “[3]” might be printed.

The child is expected to be one of this node’s children, but this is not validated.

The default implementation prints nothing.

to_obj()

Returns a pure Python representation of this node.

For example, a node representing a list, like graphtage.ListNode, should return a Python list. A node representing a mapping, like graphtage.MappingNode, should return a Python dict. Container nodes should recursively call TreeNode.to_obj() on all of their children.

This is used solely for the providing objects to operate on in the commandline expressions evaluation, for options like –match-if and –match-unless.

property total_size: int

The size of this node.

This is an arbitrary, immutable value that is used to calculate the bounded costs of edits on this node.

The first time this property is called, its value will be set and memoized by calling TreeNode.calculate_total_size().

Returns:: An arbitrary integer representing the size of this node.
Return type:: int

An edit is complete when no further calls to Edit.tighten_bounds() will change the nature of the edit.

This implementation considers an edit complete if it is valid and its bounds are definitive:

return not self.valid or self.bounds().definitive()

If an edit is able to discern that it has a unique solution even if its final bounds are unknown, it should reimplement this method to define that check.

For example, in the case of a CompoundEdit, this method should only return True if no future calls to Edit.tighten_bounds() will affect the result of CompoundEdit.edits().

Return type:: bool

on_diff(from_node: EditedTreeNode)

for edit in self.edits():
    edit.on_diff(edit.from_node)

Parameters:: from_node – The edited node that was added to the diff

print(formatter: GraphtageFormatter, printer: Printer)

Edits can optionally implement a printing method

This function is called automatically from the formatter in the Printing Protocol and should never be called directly unless you really know what you’re doing! Raising NotImplementedError will cause the formatter to fall back on its own printing implementations.

This implementation is equivalent to:

for edit in self.edits():
    edit.print(formatter, printer)

tighten_bounds() → bool

Tightens the Edit.bounds() on the cost of this edit, if possible.

Returns:: True if the bounds have been tightened.

since MappingNode.__iter__() returns an iterator over graphtage.KeyValuePairNode.

make_edited() → EditedTreeNode | T

Returns a new, copied instance of this node that is also an instance of EditedTreeNode.

This is equivalent to:

return self.__class__.edited_type()(self)

property parent: TreeNode | None

The parent node of this node, or None if it has no parent.

The setter for this property should only be called by the parent node setting itself as the parent of its child.

ContainerNode subclasses automatically set this property for all of their children. However, if you define a subclass of TreeNode does not extend off of ContainerNode and for which len(self.children()) > 0, then each child’s parent must be set.

Prints a sequence node.

By default, sequence nodes are printed like lists:

SequenceFormatter('[', ']', ',').print(printer, self)

print_parent_context(printer: Printer, for_child: TreeNode)

Prints the context for the given child node.

For example, if this node represents a list and the child is the element at index 3, then “[3]” might be printed.

The child is expected to be one of this node’s children, but this is not validated.

The default implementation prints nothing.

to_obj() → Dict[Any, Any]

Returns a pure Python representation of this node.

For example, a node representing a list, like graphtage.ListNode, should return a Python list. A node representing a mapping, like graphtage.MappingNode, should return a Python dict. Container nodes should recursively call TreeNode.to_obj() on all of their children.

This is used solely for the providing objects to operate on in the commandline expressions evaluation, for options like –match-if and –match-unless.

property total_size: int

This is an arbitrary, immutable value that is used to calculate the bounded costs of edits on this node.

The first time this property is called, its value will be set and memoized by calling TreeNode.calculate_total_size().

```

static __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs) → Formatter[T]

Instantiates a new formatter.

This automatically instantiates and populates Formatter.sub_formatters and sets their parent to this new formatter.

edit_print(printer: Printer, edit: Edit)

Called when the edit for an item is to be printed.

If the SequenceNode being printed either is not edited or has no edits, then the edit passed to this function will be a Match(child, child, 0).

This implementation simply delegates the print to the Formatting Protocol:

self.print(printer, edit)

get_formatter(item: T) → Callable[[Printer, T], Any] | None

Looks up a formatter for the given item using this formatter as a base.

Equivalent to:

get_formatter(item.__class__, base_formatter=self)

This is also called one extra time after the last node, if there is at least one node printed.

The default implementation is simply:

printer.newline()

items_indent(printer: Printer) → Printer

Returns a Printer context with an indentation.

This is called as:

with self.items_indent(printer) as p:

immediately after the self.start_symbol is printed, but before any of the items have been printed.

This default implementation is equivalent to:

return printer.indent()

parent: Formatter[T] | None = None

Parameters:

printer – The printer to which to write.
node_or_edit – The node or edit to print.
with_edits – If :keyword:True, print any edits associated with the node.

Note

The protocol for determining how a node or edit should be printed is very complex due to its extensibility. See the Printing Protocol for a detailed description.

print_Call(printer: Printer, node: Call)

print_CallArguments(*args, **kwargs)

print_KeywordArgument(printer: Printer, node: KeyValuePairNode)

Prints a graphtage.PyKeywordArgument key/value pair.

By default, the key is printed in red, followed by “=”, followed by the value in light blue.

print_PyObj(printer: Printer, node: PyObj)

print_PyObjAttribute(printer: Printer, node: PyObjAttribute)

print_PyObjAttributes(*args, **kwargs)

print_PyObjFixedAttributes(*args, **kwargs)

print_SequenceNode(printer: Printer, node: SequenceNode)

Formats a sequence node.

The protocol for this function is as follows:

Print self.start_symbol
With the printer returned by self.items_indent:
- For each edit in the sequence (or just a sequence of graphtage.Match for each child, if the node is not edited):
  
  Call self.item_newline(printer, is_first=index == 0)
  
  Call self.edit_print(printer, edit)
If at least one edit was printed, then call self.item_newline(printer, is_last=True)
Print self.start_symbol

property root: Formatter[T]: Returns the root formatter.

sub_format_types: Sequence[Type[Formatter[T]]] = [<class 'graphtage.pydiff.PyListFormatter'>, <class 'graphtage.pydiff.PyDictFormatter'>]: A list of formatter types that should be used as sub-formatters in the Formatting Protocol.

sub_formatters: List[Formatter[T]] = []

The list of instantiated formatters corresponding to Formatter.sub_format_types.

This list is automatically populated by Formatter.__new__() and should never be manually modified.

pydiff functions

ast_to_tree

graphtage.pydiff.ast_to_tree(tree: AST, options: BuildOptions | None = None) → TreeNode

Builds a Graphtage tree from a Python Abstract Syntax Tree.

Parameters:

tree – The abstract syntax tree from which to build the Graphtage tree.
options – An optional set of options for building the tree.

Returns:

The resulting tree.

Return type:

TreeNode

build_tree

graphtage.pydiff.build_tree(python_obj: Any, options: BuildOptions | None = None) → TreeNode

Builds a Graphtage tree from an arbitrary Python object, even complex custom classes.

Parameters:

python_obj – The object from which to build the tree.
options – An optional set of options for building the tree.

Returns:

The resulting tree.

Return type:

TreeNode

Raises:

ValueError – If the object is of an unsupported type, or if a cycle is detected and not ignored.

diff

graphtage.pydiff.diff(from_py_obj, to_py_obj, options: BuildOptions | None = None)

print_diff

graphtage.pydiff.print_diff(from_py_obj, to_py_obj, printer: Printer | None = None, options: BuildOptions | None = None)
