| Example: |
| |
| Given a dictionary structure named "personnel" with the following contents: |
| |
| personnel: |
| [manager]: |
| [last_name]: Doe |
| [first_name]: John |
| [accountant]: |
| [last_name]: Smith |
| [first_name]: Will |
| |
| The following call would return True. |
| |
| match_struct(personnel, {'last_name': '^Doe$'}, regex=True) |
| |
| Whereas the following call would return False. |
| |
| match_struct(personnel, {'last_name': 'Johnson'}, regex=True) |
| |
| Description of argument(s): |
| structure Any nested combination of lists or |
| dictionaries. See the prolog of |
| get_nested() for details. |
| match_dict Each key/value pair in match_dict must |
| exist somewhere in the structure for the |
| structure to be considered a match. A |
| match value of None is considered a |
| special case where the structure would be |
| considered a match only if the key in |
| question is found nowhere in the structure. |
| regex Indicates whether the values in the |
| match_dict should be interpreted as |
| regular expressions. |
| """ |

| def filter_struct(structure, filter_dict, regex=False): |
| r""" |
| Filter the structure by removing any entries that do NOT contain the |
| keys/values specified in filter_dict and return the result. |
| |
| The selection process is directed only at the first-level entries of the |
| structure. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| Given a dictionary named "properties" that has the following structure: |
| |
| properties: |
| [/redfish/v1/Systems/system/Processors]: |
| [Members]: |
| [0]: |
| [@odata.id]: |
| /redfish/v1/Systems/system/Processors/cpu0 |
| [1]: |
| [@odata.id]: |
| /redfish/v1/Systems/system/Processors/cpu1 |
| [/redfish/v1/Systems/system/Processors/cpu0]: |
| [Status]: |
| [State]: Enabled |
| [Health]: OK |
| [/redfish/v1/Systems/system/Processors/cpu1]: |
| [Status]: |
| [State]: Enabled |
| [Health]: Bad |
| |
| The following call: |
| |
| properties = filter_struct(properties, "[('Health', 'OK')]") |
| |
| Would return a new properties dictionary that looks like this: |
| |
| properties: |
| [/redfish/v1/Systems/system/Processors/cpu0]: |
| [Status]: |
| [State]: Enabled |
| [Health]: OK |
| |
| Note that the first item in the original properties directory had no key |
| anywhere in the structure named "Health". Therefore, that item failed to |
| make the cut. The next item did have a key named "Health" whose value was |
| "OK" so it was included in the new structure. The third item had a key |
| named "Health" but its value was not "OK" so it also failed to make the |
| cut. |
| |
| Description of argument(s): |
| structure Any nested combination of lists or |
| dictionaries. See the prolog of |
| get_nested() for details. |
| filter_dict For each key/value pair in filter_dict, |
| each entry in structure must contain the |
| same key/value pair at some level. A |
| filter_dict value of None is treated as a |
| special case. Taking the example shown |
| above, [('State', None)] would mean that |
| the result should only contain records |
| that have no State key at all. |
| regex Indicates whether the values in the |
| filter_dict should be interpreted as |
| regular expressions. |
| """ |
