PYSON
=====
PYSON is the PYthon Statement and Object Notation.
There is also a more :ref:`practical introduction into
PYSON statements <topics-pyson>`.
.. class:: PYSON
Base class of any PYSON statement. It is never used directly.
Instance methods:
.. method:: PYSON.pyson()
Method that returns the internal dictionary representation of the
statement.
.. method:: PYSON.types()
Method that returns a set of all possible types which the statement
can become when evaluated.
.. classmethod:: PYSON.eval(dct, context)
Method which returns the evaluation of the statement given in
``dct`` within the ``context``. ``dct`` contains a
dictionary which is the internal representation of a PYSON
statement. ``context`` contains a dictionary with contextual
values.
Encoder and Decoder
===================
.. class:: PYSONEncoder()
Encoder for PYSON statements into string representations.
Instance method:
.. method:: PYSONEncoder.encode(object)
Returns a string representation of a given PYSON statement.
``object`` contains a PYSON statement.
.. class:: PYSONDecoder([context[, noeval]])
Decoder for string into the evaluated or not PYSON statement.
Instance method:
.. method:: PYSONDecoder.decode(object)
Returns a PYSON statement evaluated or not of a given string.
``object`` contains a string.
Statements
==========
The following statements can be used in :class:`PYSON`.
.. class:: Eval(value[, default])
An :class:`Eval()` object represents the PYSON ``Eval()``
statement for evaluations. When evaluated, it returns the
value of the statement named by ``value``, if defined in the
evaluation context, otherwise the ``default`` value (empty
string by default). Returns an instance of itself.
.. note::
The default value determines the type of the statement.
..
.. class:: Not(value)
A :class:`Not` object represents the PYSON ``Not()``
statement for logical negations. When evaluated, returns
the boolean negation of the value of the statement named by
``value``, if defined in the evaluation context. Returns an
instance of itself.
.. class:: Bool(value)
A :class:`Bool` object represents the PYSON ``Bool()``
statement for boolean evaluations. Returns the boolean
representation of the value of the statement named by
``value``.
.. class:: And(\*statements)
An :class:`And` object represents the PYSON ``And()``
statement for logical *and* operations. Returns the result of
the logical conjunction of two or more values named by the
statements in the ``statements`` tuple.
.. class:: Or(\*statements)
An :class:`Or` object represents the PYSON ``Or()``
statement for logical *or* operations. Returns the result of
the logical disjunction of two or more values named by the
statements in the ``statements`` tuple.
.. class:: Equal(statement1, statement2)
An :class:`Equal` object represents the PYSON ``Equal()``
statement for equation comparisons. Returns true when a value of
a statement named by ``statement1`` and the value of a statement
named by ``statement2`` are equal, otherwise returns false.
.. class:: Greater(statement1, statement2[, equal])
A :class:`Greater` object represents the PYSON ``Greater()``
statement for *greater-than* comparisons. Returns true when the value
of the statement named by ``statement1`` is strictly greater than the
value of the statement named by ``statement2``, otherwise
returns false. Is the value of the variable named by ``equal`` is
true, then returns also true when both values of statements named by
``statement1`` and ``statement2`` are equal. In this case
:class:`Greater` works as a *greater-than or equal* operator.
.. class:: Less(statement1, statement2[, equal])
A :class:`Less` object represents the PYSON ``Less()``
statement for *less-than* comparisons. Returns true when the value
of the statement named by ``statement1`` is strictly less than the
value of the statement named by ``statement2``, otherwise
returns false. Is the value of the variable named ``equal`` is true,
then returns also true when both values of the statements named by
``statement1`` and ``statement2`` are equal. In this case
:class:`Less` works as a *less-than or equal* operator.
.. class:: If(condition, then_statement, else_statement)
An :class:`If` object represents the PYSON ``If()``
statement for conditional flow control operations. Returns the
value of the statement named by ``then_statement`` when the value
of the statement named by ``condition`` evaluates true.
Otherwise returns the value of the statement named by
``else_statement``.
.. class:: Get(obj, key[, default])
A :class:`Get` object represents the PYSON ``Get()``
statement for dictionary look-up operations and evaluation.
Look up and returns the value of a key named by ``key`` in an
object named by ``obj`` if defined.
Otherwise returns the value of the variable named by ``default``.
.. class:: In(key, obj)
An :class:`In` object represents the PYSON ``In()``
statement for look-up dictionary or integer objects. Returns true when
a list (or dictionary) object named by ``obj`` contains the value of
the variable (or key) named by ``key``. Otherwise returns false.
.. class:: Date([year[, month[, day[, delta_years[, delta_month[, delta_days]]]]]])
A :class:`Date` object represents the PYSON ``Date()``
statement for date related conversions and basic calculations.
Returns a date object which represents
the values of arguments named by the *variables* explained below.
Missing values of arguments named by ``year`` or ``month`` or
``day`` take their defaults from the actual date. When values of
arguments named by ``delta_*`` are given, they are added to the
values of the appropriate arguments in a date and time preserving
manner.
Arguments:
``year``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``month``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``day``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``delta_years``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``delta_month``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``delta_days``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
.. class:: DateTime([year[, month[, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, microsecond[, delta_years[, delta_months[, delta_days[, delta_hours[, delta_minutes[, delta_seconds[, delta_microseconds]]]]]]]]]]]]]])
A :class:`DateTime` object represents the PYSON ``Date()``
statement for date and time related conversions and calculations.
Returns a date time object which represents the values of
variables named by the *arguments* explained below.
Missing values of arguments named by ``year``, ``month``, ``day``,
``hour``, ``minute``, ``second``, ``microseconds`` take their
defaults from the actual date and time.
When values of arguments named by ``delta_*`` are given, these are
added to the appropriate attributes in a date and time preserving
manner.
Arguments:
``year``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``month``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``day``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``hour``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``minute``

``delta_years``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``delta_month``
Contains a PYSON statement of type int or long.
``delta_days``

.. class:: Len(value)
A :class:`Len` object represents the PYSON ``Len()`` statement for length of a
dictionary, list or string. Returns the number of items in ``value``.
.. class:: Id(module, fs_id)
An :class:`Id` object represents the PYSON ``Id()`` statement for filesystem id
evaluations. When converted into the internal dictionary, it returns the
database id stored in `ir.model.data`.
