class pilot.user.atlas.nordugrid.XMLDictionary(rootname='outfiles')

This is a helper class that is used to create the dictionary which is converted to the special XML files for Nordugrid pilots. Example dictionary:

dictionary = { “outfiles”: [ { “file”: { “surl”: “some_surl”, “size”: “123”, “ad32”: “aaaaaaa”,

“guid”: “ababa22”, “lfn”: “some_lfn”, “dataset”: “some_dataset”, “date”: “11/11/11” } },

{}, {}, ..

]

}

Usage:

xmldic = XMLDictionary() xmldic.add_to_list({“surl”: “some_surl1”, “size”: “123”, “ad32”: “aaaaaaa”, “guid”: “ababa22”, “lfn”: “some_lfn”,

“dataset”: “some_dataset”, “date”: “11/11/11”})

dictionary = xmldic.get_dictionary()

__init__(rootname='outfiles')

Standard init function. :param rootname: name of the root key. There is only one root key in the Nordugrid XML file (‘outfiles’).

__module__ = 'pilot.user.atlas.nordugrid'

__weakref__

list of weak references to the object (if defined)

_dictionary = None

add_to_list(dictionary, rootname='outfiles', itemname='file')

Add dictionary to itemname key. See example in class header. :param dictionary: dictionary to add to itemname key. :param rootname: name of the root key. There is only one root key in the Nordugrid XML file (‘outfiles’). :param itemname: name of the item key. In the Nordugrid XML it should be called ‘file’. :return:

get_dictionary()

Return the dictionary to be converted to XML. It should be populated with the dictionary added to it in add_to_list(). :return: dictionary

pilot.user.atlas.nordugrid.convert_to_prettyprint(xmlstr)

Convert XML to pretty print for older python versions (< 2.7). :param xmlstr: input XML string :return: XML string (pretty printed)

pilot.user.atlas.nordugrid.convert_to_xml(dictionary)

Convert a dictionary to XML. The dictionary is expected to follow the Nordugrid format. See the XMLDictionary helper class.

Example of XML (OutputFiles.xml):

<?xml version=”1.0” ?> <outfiles> <file>

<ad32>aaaaaaa</ad32> <surl>some_surl1</surl> <lfn>some_lfn</lfn> <dataset>some_dataset</dataset> <date>11/11/11</date> <guid>ababa22</guid> <size>123</size>

</file> </outfiles>

Parameters:

dictionary – dictionary created with XMLDictionary.

Returns:

xml (pretty printed for python >= 2.7 - for older python, use the convert_to_prettyprint() function).
