utils.batching - Batching Components

Kofa components for batch processing.

Batch processors eat CSV files to add, update or remove large numbers of certain kinds of objects at once.

class waeup.kofa.utils.batching.AsyncExportJob(site, exporter_name, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: zc.async.job.Job

An IJob that exports data to CSV files.

AsyncExportJob instances are regular AsyncJob instances with a different constructor API. Instead of a callable to execute, you must pass a site and some exporter_name to trigger an export.

The real work is done when an instance of this class is put into a queue. See waeup.kofa.async to learn more about asynchronous jobs.

The exporter_name must be the name under which an ICSVExporter utility was registered with the ZCA.

The site must be a valid site or None.

The result of an AsyncExportJob is the path to generated CSV file. The file will reside in a temporary directory that should be removed after being used.

__provides__

Special descriptor for class __provides__

The descriptor caches the implementedBy info, so that we can get declarations for objects without instance-specific interfaces a bit quicker.

For example:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> class IFooFactory(Interface):
...     pass
>>> class IFoo(Interface):
...     pass
>>> class C(object):
...     implements(IFoo)
...     classProvides(IFooFactory)
>>> [i.getName() for i in C.__provides__]
['IFooFactory']
>>> [i.getName() for i in C().__provides__]
['IFoo']
failed

A report job is marked failed iff it is finished and the result is None.

While a job is unfinished, the failed status is None.

Failed jobs normally provide a traceback to examine reasons.

finished

A job is marked finished if it is completed.

Please note: a finished report job does not neccessarily provide an IReport result. See meth:failed.

addEntry(obj, row, site)[source]

Add the entry given given by row data.

applyMapping(row, mapping)[source]

Apply mapping to a row of CSV data.

available_fields
callFactory(*args, **kw)[source]
checkConversion(row, mode='ignore', ignore_empty=True)[source]

Validates all values in row.

checkCreateRequirements(parent, row, site)[source]

Checks requirements the parent object must fulfill when a new subobject is being created.

This method is not used in case of updating or removing objects.

Returns error messages as strings in case of requirement problems.

checkHeaders(headerfields, mode='create')[source]
checkRemoveRequirements(obj, row, site)[source]

Checks requirements the object must fulfill when being removed.

This method is not used in case of updating or adding objects.

Returns error messages as strings in case of requirement problems.

checkUpdateRequirements(obj, row, site)[source]

Checks requirements the object must fulfill when being updated.

This method is not used in case of deleting or adding objects.

Returns error messages as strings in case of requirement problems.

createLogfile(path, fail_path, num, warnings, mode, user, timedelta, logger=None)[source]

Write to log file.

delEntry(row, site)[source]

Delete entry given by row data.

doImport(path, headerfields, mode='create', user='Unknown', logger=None, ignore_empty=True)[source]

In contrast to most other methods, doImport is not supposed to be customized, neither in custom packages nor in derived batch processor classes. Therefore, this is the only place where we do import data.

Before this method starts creating or updating persistent data, it prepares two more files in a temporary folder of the filesystem: (1) a file for pending data with file extension .pending and (2) a file for successfully processed data with file extension .finished. Then the method starts iterating over all rows of the CSV file. Each row is treated as follows:

  1. An empty row is skipped.

  2. Empty strings or lists ([]) in the row are replaced by ignore markers.

  3. The BatchProcessor.checkConversion method validates and converts all values in the row. Conversion means the transformation of strings into Python objects. For instance, number expressions have to be transformed into integers, dates into datetime objects, phone number expressions into phone number objects, etc. The converter returns a dictionary with converted values or, if the validation of one of the elements fails, an appropriate warning message. If the conversion fails a pending record is created and stored in the pending data file together with a warning message the converter has raised.

  4. In create mode only:

    The parent object must be found and a child object with same object id must not exist. Otherwise the row is skipped, a corresponding warning message is raised and a record is stored in the pending data file.

    The BatchProcessor.checkCreateRequirements method checks additional requirements the parent object must fulfill before a new sububject is being added. These requirements are not imposed by the data type but the context of the object. For example, the course results of graduated students must not changed by import, neither by creating nor updating or removing course tickets.

    Now doImport tries to add the new object with the data from the conversion dictionary. In some cases this may fail and a DuplicationError is raised. For example, a new payment ticket is created but the same payment for same session has already been made. In this case the object id is unique, no other object with same id exists, but making the ‘same’ payment twice does not make sense. The import is skipped and a record is stored in the pending data file.

  5. In update mode only:

    If the object can’t be found, the row is skipped, a no such entry warning message is raised and a record is stored in the pending data file.

    The BatchProcessor.checkUpdateRequirements method checks additional requirements the object must fulfill before being updated. These requirements are not imposed by the data type but the context of the object. For example, post-graduate students have a different registration workflow. With this method we do forbid certain workflow transitions or states.

    Finally, doImport updates the existing object with the data from the conversion dictionary.

  6. In remove mode only:

    If the object can’t be found, the row is skipped, a no such entry warning message is raised and a record is stored in the pending data file.

    The BatchProcessor.checkRemoveRequirements method checks additional requirements the object must fulfill before being removed. These requirements are not imposed by the data type but the context of the object. For example, the course results of graduated students must not changed by import, neither by creating nor updating or removing course tickets.

    Finally, doImport removes the existing object.

get_running_export_jobs(user_id=None)[source]

Get export jobs for user with user_id as list of tuples.

Each tuples holds <job_id>, <exporter_name>, <user_id> in that order. The <exporter_name> is the utility name of the used exporter.

If user_id is None, all running jobs are returned.

running_exports = []
start_export_job(exporter_name, user_id, *args, **kwargs)[source]

export(iterable, filepath=None)[source]

Export iterable as CSV file. If filepath is None, a raw string with CSV data should be returned.

export_all(site, filepath=None)[source]

Export all appropriate objects in site into filepath as CSV data. If filepath is None, a raw string with CSV data should be returned.

export_filtered(site, filepath=None, **kw)[source]

Export items denoted by kw. If filepath is None, a raw string with CSV data should be returned.

export_selected(site, filepath=None, **kw)[source]

Export those items specified by a list of identifiers called selected. If filepath is None, a raw string with CSV data should be returned.

fields = ('code', 'title', 'title_prefix')

Fieldnames considered by this exporter

get_csv_writer(filepath=None)[source]

Get a CSV dict writer instance open for writing.

Returns a tuple (<writer>, <outfile>) where <writer> is a csv.DictWriter instance and outfile is the real file which is written to. The latter is important when writing to StringIO and can normally be ignored otherwise.

The returned file will already be filled with the header row.

Please note that if you give a filepath, the returned outfile is open for writing only and you might have to close it before reopening it for reading.

get_filtered(site, **kw)[source]

Get datasets to export filtered by keyword arguments. Returns an iterable.

get_selected(site, selected)[source]

Get datasets to export for selected items specified by a list of identifiers. Returns an iterable.

mangle_value(value, name, context=None)[source]

Hook for mangling values in derived classes.

title = 'Override this title'

class waeup.kofa.utils.batching.VirtualExportJobContainer[source]

Bases: waeup.kofa.utils.batching.ExportJobContainer

A virtual export job container.

Virtual ExportJobContainers can be used as a mixin just like real ExportJobContainer.

They retrieve and store data in the site-wide ExportJobContainer.

Functionality is currently entirely as for regular ExportJobContainers, except that data is stored elsewhere.

VirtualExportJobContainers need a registered IExportContainerFinder utility to find a suitable container for storing data.

running_exports

Exports stored in the site-wide exports container.

waeup.kofa.utils.batching.export_job(site, exporter_name, **kw)[source]

Export all entries delivered by exporter and store it in a temp file.

site gives the site to search. It will be passed to the exporter and also be set as ‘current site’ as the function is used in asynchronous jobs which run in their own threads and have no site set initially. Therefore site must also be a valid value for use with zope.component.hooks.setSite().

exporter_name is the utility name under which the desired exporter was registered with the ZCA.

The resulting CSV file will be stored in a new temporary directory (using tempfile.mkdtemp()). It will be named after the exporter used with .csv filename extension.

Returns the path to the created CSV file.

Note

It is the callers responsibility to clean up the used file and its parent directory.
