Cheetah.Utils.Misc module¶
Miscellaneous functions/objects used by Cheetah but also useful standalone.
- Cheetah.Utils.Misc.checkKeywords(dic, legalKeywords, what='argument')¶
Verify no illegal keyword arguments were passed to a function.
- indic, dictionary (**kw in the calling routine).
legalKeywords, list of strings, the keywords that are allowed. what, string, suffix for error message (see function source).
out: None. exc: TypeError if ‘dic’ contains a key not in ‘legalKeywords’. called by: Cheetah.Template.__init__()
- Cheetah.Utils.Misc.die(reason)¶
- Cheetah.Utils.Misc.mkdirsWithPyInitFiles(path)¶
Same as os.makedirs (mkdir ‘path’ and all missing parent directories) but also puts a Python ‘__init__.py’ file in every directory it creates. Does nothing (without creating an ‘__init__.py’ file) if the directory already exists.
- Cheetah.Utils.Misc.removeFromList(list_, *elements)¶
Save as list_.remove(each element) but don’t raise an error if element is missing. Modifies ‘list_’ in place! Returns None.
- Cheetah.Utils.Misc.useOrRaise(thing, errmsg='')¶
Raise ‘thing’ if it’s a subclass of Exception. Otherwise return it.
