Validate that the argument is a number over a given range. By default, it is (0, +inf)

Note

This function can be used to directly create argparse typing for numbers within a specified range using a lambda function such as:

eqopts.add_argument(
  FLAG_TEMP,
  action='store',
  type=lambda x:parserutils.type_ranged_num(x, top=423, bottom=273),
  metavar='KELVIN',
  help='Simulation temperature for MD equilibration step')
Parameters
  • arg (str) – The argument to validate

  • top (float or int) – The upper limit of the allowed range

  • bottom (float or int) – The lower limit of the allowed range

  • top_allowed (bool) – Whether arg may take the top value or not (whether the upper limit is inclusive or exclusive)

  • bottom_allowed (bool) – Whether arg may take the bottom value or not (whether the bottom limit is inclusive or exclusive)

  • typer (callable) – Should be one of the built-in float or int functions and defines the type of the value returned from this function.

class schrodinger.application.matsci.parserutils.NoArgCustomAction(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: argparse.Action

An action that allows giving an argparse flag a custom action so that the flag does not require an argument

One possible use is the implementation of a flag like ‘-doc’ which immediately performs an action when it is found on the command line - such as printing out detailed documentation and then exiting. This avoids the user having to specify any other flags even if they are marked as required.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)
class schrodinger.application.matsci.parserutils.KeyPairDict

Bases: dict

This is a subclass of dict so that the {a:b} can be displayed as “a=b” (e.g, as the help message”

__contains__(key, /)

True if the dictionary has the specified key, else False.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)
__len__()

Return len(self).

clear() None.  Remove all items from D.
copy() a shallow copy of D
fromkeys(value=None, /)

Create a new dictionary with keys from iterable and values set to value.

get(key, default=None, /)

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

items() a set-like object providing a view on D’s items
keys() a set-like object providing a view on D’s keys
pop(k[, d]) v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.

If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised

popitem()

Remove and return a (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple.

Pairs are returned in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order. Raises KeyError if the dict is empty.

setdefault(key, default=None, /)

Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

update([E, ]**F) None.  Update D from dict/iterable E and F.

If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

values() an object providing a view on D’s values
class schrodinger.application.matsci.parserutils.StoreDictKeyPair(option_strings, dest, nargs=None, const=None, default=None, type=None, choices=None, required=False, help=None, metavar=None)

Bases: argparse._StoreAction

This is the action used with nargs=”+” and values=’KEYWORD=VALUE KEYWORD=VALUE’

By default nargs=”+” and action=’store’ save the multiple values “k1=v1 k2=v2” as list. With this StoreDictKeyPair as the action, “k1=v1 k2=v2” will be stored as {k1:v1, k2:v2} in the options.

__init__(option_strings, dest, nargs=None, const=None, default=None, type=None, choices=None, required=False, help=None, metavar=None)
schrodinger.application.matsci.parserutils.type_keywords_to_dict(value)

Convert a string of ‘keyword=value keyword=value …’ to a dictionary keyed by keyword. Values are the keyword values.

Note

When calling parser.add_argument for the flag that uses this function, do not use “nargs=+”. That will result in the return value from this function being placed as an item in a list. Instead, do not use nargs at all and simply use “action=’store’”. All of the keyword=value pairs will then be passed into this function as a single string. Example:

parser.add_argument(
    FLAG_KEYWORDS,
    action='store',
    metavar='KEYWORD=VALUE KEYWORD=VALUE ...',
    type=parserutils.type_keywords_to_dict,
    help='Jaguar keywords given as a space-separated keyword=value '
         ' pairs'
)

will result in options.keyword = the dictionary returned by this function

Parameters

value (str) – The argument to validate

Return type

dict

Returns

A dictionary with keywords as key keyword values as values

Raises

argparse.ArgumentTypeError – If the argument is not a valid keyword string

schrodinger.application.matsci.parserutils.type_keywords_to_string(value)

Validate the format of a string of ‘keyword=value keyword=value …’

Note

When calling parser.add_argument for the flag that uses this function, do not use “nargs=+”. That will result in the return value from this function being placed as an item in a list. Instead, do not use nargs at all and simply use “action=’store’”. All of the keyword=value pairs will then be passed into this function as a single string. Example:

parser.add_argument(
    FLAG_KEYWORDS,
    action='store',
    metavar='KEYWORD=VALUE KEYWORD=VALUE ...',
    type=parserutils.type_keywords_to_string,
    help='Jaguar keywords given as a space-separated keyword=value '
         ' pairs'
)
