Tubing is a Python I/O library. What makes tubing so freakin' cool is the gross abuse of the bit-wise OR operator (|). Have you ever been writing python code and thought to yourself, "Man, this is great, but I really wish it was a little more like bash." Whelp, we've made python a little more like bash.If you are a super lame nerd-kid, you can replace any of the bit-wise ORs with the tube() function and pray we don't overload any other operators in future versions. Here's how you install tubing::

$ pip install tubing

Tubing is pretty bare-bones at the moment. We've tried to make it easy to add your own functionality. Hopefully you find it not all that unpleasant. There are three sections below for adding sources, tubes and sink. If you do make some additions, think about committing them back upstream. We'd love to have a full suite of tools.

Now, witness the power of this fully operational I/O library.

.. code-block:: python

from tubing import sources, tubes, sinks

objs = [
    dict(
        name="Bob Corsaro",
        birthdate="08/03/1977",
        alignment="evil",
    ),
    dict(
        name="Tom Brady",
        birthdate="08/03/1977",
        alignment="good",
    ),
]
sources.Objects(objs) \
     | tubes.JSONDumps() \
     | tubes.Joined(by=b"\n") \
     | tubes.Gzip() \
     | sinks.File("output.gz", "wb")

Then in our old friend bash.

.. code-block:: bash

$ zcat output.gz
{"alignment": "evil", "birthdate": "08/03/1977", "name": "Bob Corsaro"}
{"alignment": "good", "birthdate": "08/03/1977", "name": "Tom Brady"}
$

Sources

To make your own source, create a Reader class with the following interface.

.. code-block:: python

class MyReader(object):
    """
    MyReader returns count instances of data.
    """
    def __init__(self, data="hello world\n", count=10):
        self.data = data
        self.count = count

    def read(self, amt):
        """
        read(amt) returns $amt of data and a boolean indicating EOF.
        """
        if not amt:
            amt = self.count
        r = self.data * min(amt, self.count)
        self.count -= amt
        return r, self.count <= 0

The important thing to remember is that your read function should return an iterable of units of data, not a single piece of data. Then wrap your reader in the loving embrace of MakeSourceFactory.

.. code-block:: python

from tubing import sources

MySource = sources.MakeSourceFactory(MyReader)

Now it can be used in a apparatus!

.. code-block:: python

from __future__ import print_function

from tubing import tubes
sink = MySource(data="goodbye cruel world!", count=1) \
     | tubes.Joined(by=b"\n") \
     | sinks.Bytes()

print(sinks.result)
# Output: goodbye cruel world!

Tubes

Making your own tube is a lot more fun, trust me. First make a Transformer.

.. code-block:: python

class OptimusPrime(object):
    def transform(self, chunk):
        return list(reversed(chunk))

chunk is an iterable with a len() of whatever type of data the stream is working with. In Transformers, you don't need to worry about buffer size or closing or exception, just transform an iterable to another iterable. There are lots of examples in tubes.py.

Next give Optimus Prime a hug.

.. code-block:: python

from tubing import tubes

AllMixedUp = tubes.MakeTranformerTubeFactory(OptimusPrime)

Ready to mix up some data?

.. code-block:: python

from __future__ import print_function

import json
from tubing import sources, sinks

objs = [{"number": i} for i in range(0, 10)]

sink = sources.Objects(objs) \
     | AllMixedUp(chunk_size=2) \
     | sinks.Objects()

print(json.dumps(sink))
# Output: [{"number": 1}, {"number": 0}, {"number": 3}, {"number": 2}, {"number": 5}, {"number": 4}, {"number": 7}, {"number": 6}, {"number": 9}, {"number": 8}]

Sinks

Really getting tired of making documentation... Maybe I'll finish later. I have real work to do.

Well.. I'm this far, let's just push through.

.. code-block:: python

from __future__ import print_function
from tubing import sources, tubes, sinks

class StdoutWriter(object):
    def write(self, chunk):
        for part in chunk:
            print(part)

    def close(self):
        # this function is optional
        print("That's all folks!")

    def abort(self):
        # this is also optional
        print("Something terrible has occurred.")

Debugger = sinks.MakeSinkFactory(StdoutWriter)

objs = [{"number": i} for i in range(0, 10)]

sink = sources.Objects(objs) \
     | AllMixedUp(chunk_size=2) \
     | tubes.JSONDumps() \
     | tubes.Joined(by=b"\n") \
     | Debugger()
# Output:
#{"number": 1}
#{"number": 0}
#{"number": 3}
#{"number": 2}
#{"number": 5}
#{"number": 4}
#{"number": 7}
#{"number": 6}
#{"number": 9}
#{"number": 8}
#That's all folks!
