Django Utils
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils
|
|
:synopsis: Django's built-in utilities.
|
|
|
|
This document covers all stable modules in ``django.utils``. Most of the
|
|
modules in ``django.utils`` are designed for internal use and only the
|
|
following parts can be considered stable and thus backwards compatible as per
|
|
the :ref:`internal release deprecation policy <internal-release-deprecation-policy>`.
|
|
|
|
``django.utils.cache``
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.cache
|
|
:synopsis: Helper functions for controlling caching.
|
|
|
|
This module contains helper functions for controlling caching. It does so by
|
|
managing the ``Vary`` header of responses. It includes functions to patch the
|
|
header of response objects directly and decorators that change functions to do
|
|
that header-patching themselves.
|
|
|
|
For information on the ``Vary`` header, see :rfc:`2616#section-14.44` section
|
|
14.44.
|
|
|
|
Essentially, the ``Vary`` HTTP header defines which headers a cache should take
|
|
into account when building its cache key. Requests with the same path but
|
|
different header content for headers named in ``Vary`` need to get different
|
|
cache keys to prevent delivery of wrong content.
|
|
|
|
For example, :doc:`internationalization </topics/i18n/index>` middleware would need
|
|
to distinguish caches by the ``Accept-language`` header.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: patch_cache_control(response, **kwargs)
|
|
|
|
This function patches the ``Cache-Control`` header by adding all keyword
|
|
arguments to it. The transformation is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* All keyword parameter names are turned to lowercase, and underscores
|
|
are converted to hyphens.
|
|
* If the value of a parameter is ``True`` (exactly ``True``, not just a
|
|
true value), only the parameter name is added to the header.
|
|
* All other parameters are added with their value, after applying
|
|
``str()`` to it.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_max_age(response)
|
|
|
|
Returns the max-age from the response Cache-Control header as an integer
|
|
(or ``None`` if it wasn't found or wasn't an integer).
|
|
|
|
.. function:: patch_response_headers(response, cache_timeout=None)
|
|
|
|
Adds some useful headers to the given ``HttpResponse`` object:
|
|
|
|
* ``ETag``
|
|
* ``Last-Modified``
|
|
* ``Expires``
|
|
* ``Cache-Control``
|
|
|
|
Each header is only added if it isn't already set.
|
|
|
|
``cache_timeout`` is in seconds. The :setting:`CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS`
|
|
setting is used by default.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: add_never_cache_headers(response)
|
|
|
|
Adds headers to a response to indicate that a page should never be cached.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: patch_vary_headers(response, newheaders)
|
|
|
|
Adds (or updates) the ``Vary`` header in the given ``HttpResponse`` object.
|
|
``newheaders`` is a list of header names that should be in ``Vary``.
|
|
Existing headers in ``Vary`` aren't removed.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_cache_key(request, key_prefix=None)
|
|
|
|
Returns a cache key based on the request path. It can be used in the
|
|
request phase because it pulls the list of headers to take into account
|
|
from the global path registry and uses those to build a cache key to
|
|
check against.
|
|
|
|
If there is no headerlist stored, the page needs to be rebuilt, so this
|
|
function returns ``None``.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: learn_cache_key(request, response, cache_timeout=None, key_prefix=None)
|
|
|
|
Learns what headers to take into account for some request path from the
|
|
response object. It stores those headers in a global path registry so that
|
|
later access to that path will know what headers to take into account
|
|
without building the response object itself. The headers are named in
|
|
the ``Vary`` header of the response, but we want to prevent response
|
|
generation.
|
|
|
|
The list of headers to use for cache key generation is stored in the same
|
|
cache as the pages themselves. If the cache ages some data out of the
|
|
cache, this just means that we have to build the response once to get at
|
|
the Vary header and so at the list of headers to use for the cache key.
|
|
|
|
``django.utils.datastructures``
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.datastructures
|
|
:synopsis: Data structures that aren't in Python's standard library.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: SortedDict
|
|
|
|
The :class:`django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict` class is a dictionary
|
|
that keeps its keys in the order in which they're inserted.
|
|
``SortedDict`` adds two additional methods to the standard Python ``dict``
|
|
class:
|
|
|
|
.. method:: insert(index, key, value)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
Inserts the key, value pair before the item with the given index.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: value_for_index(index)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
Returns the value of the item at the given zero-based index.
|
|
|
|
Creating a new SortedDict
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Creating a new ``SortedDict`` must be done in a way where ordering is
|
|
guaranteed. For example::
|
|
|
|
SortedDict({'b': 1, 'a': 2, 'c': 3})
|
|
|
|
will not work. Passing in a basic Python ``dict`` could produce unreliable
|
|
results. Instead do::
|
|
|
|
SortedDict([('b', 1), ('a', 2), ('c', 3)])
|
|
|
|
``django.utils.dateparse``
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.dateparse
|
|
:synopsis: Functions to parse datetime objects.
|
|
|
|
The functions defined in this module share the following properties:
|
|
|
|
- They raise :exc:`~exceptions.ValueError` if their input is well formatted but
|
|
isn't a valid date or time.
|
|
- They return ``None`` if it isn't well formatted at all.
|
|
- They accept up to picosecond resolution in input, but they truncate it to
|
|
microseconds, since that's what Python supports.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: parse_date(value)
|
|
|
|
Parses a string and returns a :class:`datetime.date`.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: parse_time(value)
|
|
|
|
Parses a string and returns a :class:`datetime.time`.
|
|
|
|
UTC offsets aren't supported; if ``value`` describes one, the result is
|
|
``None``.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: parse_datetime(value)
|
|
|
|
Parses a string and returns a :class:`datetime.datetime`.
|
|
|
|
UTC offsets are supported; if ``value`` describes one, the result's
|
|
``tzinfo`` attribute is a :class:`~django.utils.tzinfo.FixedOffset`
|
|
instance.
|
|
|
|
``django.utils.decorators``
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.decorators
|
|
:synopsis: Functions that help with creating decorators for views.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: method_decorator(decorator)
|
|
|
|
Converts a function decorator into a method decorator. See :ref:`decorating
|
|
class based views<decorating-class-based-views>` for example usage.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: decorator_from_middleware(middleware_class)
|
|
|
|
Given a middleware class, returns a view decorator. This lets you use
|
|
middleware functionality on a per-view basis. The middleware is created
|
|
with no params passed.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: decorator_from_middleware_with_args(middleware_class)
|
|
|
|
Like ``decorator_from_middleware``, but returns a function
|
|
that accepts the arguments to be passed to the middleware_class.
|
|
For example, the :func:`~django.views.decorators.cache.cache_page`
|
|
decorator is created from the
|
|
:class:`~django.middleware.cache.CacheMiddleware` like this::
|
|
|
|
cache_page = decorator_from_middleware_with_args(CacheMiddleware)
|
|
|
|
@cache_page(3600)
|
|
def my_view(request):
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
``django.utils.encoding``
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.encoding
|
|
:synopsis: A series of helper classes and function to manage character encoding.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: StrAndUnicode
|
|
|
|
A class that derives ``__str__`` from ``__unicode__``.
|
|
|
|
On Python 2, ``__str__`` returns the output of ``__unicode__`` encoded as
|
|
a UTF-8 bytestring. On Python 3, ``__str__`` returns the output of
|
|
``__unicode__``.
|
|
|
|
Useful as a mix-in. If you support Python 2 and 3 with a single code base,
|
|
you can inherit this mix-in and just define ``__unicode__``.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: python_2_unicode_compatible
|
|
|
|
A decorator that defines ``__unicode__`` and ``__str__`` methods under
|
|
Python 2. Under Python 3 it does nothing.
|
|
|
|
To support Python 2 and 3 with a single code base, define a ``__str__``
|
|
method returning text and apply this decorator to the class.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: smart_text(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
Returns a text object representing ``s`` -- ``unicode`` on Python 2 and
|
|
``str`` on Python 3. Treats bytestrings using the ``encoding`` codec.
|
|
|
|
If ``strings_only`` is ``True``, don't convert (some) non-string-like
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: smart_unicode(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
Historical name of :func:`smart_text`. Only available under Python 2.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: is_protected_type(obj)
|
|
|
|
Determine if the object instance is of a protected type.
|
|
|
|
Objects of protected types are preserved as-is when passed to
|
|
``force_text(strings_only=True)``.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: force_text(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
Similar to ``smart_text``, except that lazy instances are resolved to
|
|
strings, rather than kept as lazy objects.
|
|
|
|
If ``strings_only`` is ``True``, don't convert (some) non-string-like
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: force_unicode(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
Historical name of :func:`force_text`. Only available under Python 2.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: smart_bytes(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
Returns a bytestring version of ``s``, encoded as specified in
|
|
``encoding``.
|
|
|
|
If ``strings_only`` is ``True``, don't convert (some) non-string-like
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: force_bytes(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
Similar to ``smart_bytes``, except that lazy instances are resolved to
|
|
bytestrings, rather than kept as lazy objects.
|
|
|
|
If ``strings_only`` is ``True``, don't convert (some) non-string-like
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: smart_str(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
Alias of :func:`smart_bytes` on Python 2 and :func:`smart_text` on Python
|
|
3. This function returns a :class:`str` or a lazy string.
|
|
|
|
For instance, this is suitable for writing to :attr:`sys.stdout` on
|
|
Python 2 and 3.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: force_str(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')
|
|
|
|
Alias of :func:`force_bytes` on Python 2 and :func:`force_text` on Python
|
|
3. This function always returns a :class:`str`.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: iri_to_uri(iri)
|
|
|
|
Convert an Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI) portion to a URI
|
|
portion that is suitable for inclusion in a URL.
|
|
|
|
This is the algorithm from section 3.1 of :rfc:`3987#section-3.1`. However,
|
|
since we are assuming input is either UTF-8 or unicode already, we can
|
|
simplify things a little from the full method.
|
|
|
|
Returns an ASCII string containing the encoded result.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: filepath_to_uri(path)
|
|
|
|
Convert a file system path to a URI portion that is suitable for inclusion
|
|
in a URL. The path is assumed to be either UTF-8 or unicode.
|
|
|
|
This method will encode certain characters that would normally be
|
|
recognized as special characters for URIs. Note that this method does not
|
|
encode the ' character, as it is a valid character within URIs. See
|
|
``encodeURIComponent()`` JavaScript function for more details.
|
|
|
|
Returns an ASCII string containing the encoded result.
|
|
|
|
``django.utils.feedgenerator``
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.feedgenerator
|
|
:synopsis: Syndication feed generation library -- used for generating RSS, etc.
|
|
|
|
Sample usage::
|
|
|
|
>>> from django.utils import feedgenerator
|
|
>>> feed = feedgenerator.Rss201rev2Feed(
|
|
... title=u"Poynter E-Media Tidbits",
|
|
... link=u"http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31",
|
|
... description=u"A group Weblog by the sharpest minds in online media/journalism/publishing.",
|
|
... language=u"en",
|
|
... )
|
|
>>> feed.add_item(
|
|
... title="Hello",
|
|
... link=u"http://www.holovaty.com/test/",
|
|
... description="Testing."
|
|
... )
|
|
>>> with open('test.rss', 'w') as fp:
|
|
... feed.write(fp, 'utf-8')
|

``django.utils.functional``
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.functional
|
|
:synopsis: Functional programming tools.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: allow_lazy(func, *resultclasses)
|
|
|
|
Django offers many utility functions (particularly in ``django.utils``) that
|
|
take a string as their first argument and do something to that string. These
|
|
functions are used by template filters as well as directly in other code.
|
|
|
|
If you write your own similar functions and deal with translations, you'll
|
|
face the problem of what to do when the first argument is a lazy translation
|
|
object. You don't want to convert it to a string immediately, because you might
|
|
be using this function outside of a view (and hence the current thread's locale
|
|
setting will not be correct).
|
|
|
|
For cases like this, use the ``django.utils.functional.allow_lazy()``
|
|
decorator. It modifies the function so that *if* it's called with a lazy
|
|
translation as the first argument, the function evaluation is delayed until it
|
|
needs to be converted to a string.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
from django.utils.functional import allow_lazy
|
|
|
|
def fancy_utility_function(s, ...):
|
|
# Do some conversion on string 's'
|
|
...
|
|
fancy_utility_function = allow_lazy(fancy_utility_function, unicode)
|
|
|
|
The ``allow_lazy()`` decorator takes, in addition to the function to decorate,
|
|
a number of extra arguments (``*args``) specifying the type(s) that the
|
|
original function can return. Usually, it's enough to include ``unicode`` here
|
|
and ensure that your function returns only Unicode strings.
|
|
|
|
Using this decorator means you can write your function and assume that the
|
|
input is a proper string, then add support for lazy translation objects at the
|
|
end.
|
|
|
|
``django.utils.html``
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.utils.html
|
|
:synopsis: HTML helper functions
|
|
|
|
Usually you should build up HTML using Django's templates to make use of its
|
|
autoescape mechanism, using the utilities in :mod:`django.utils.safestring`
|
|
where appropriate. This module provides some additional low level utilitiesfor
|
|
escaping HTML.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: escape(text)
|
|
|
|
Returns the given text with ampersands, quotes and angle brackets encoded
|
|
for use in HTML. The input is first passed through
|
|
:func:`~django.utils.encoding.force_text` and the output has
|
|
:func:`~django.utils.safestring.mark_safe` applied.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: conditional_escape(text)
|
|
|
|
Similar to ``escape()``, except that it doesn't operate on pre-escaped strings,
|
|
so it will not double escape.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: format_html(format_string, *args, **kwargs)
|
|
|
|
This is similar to `str.format`_, except that it is appropriate for
|
|
building up HTML fragments. All args and kwargs are passed through
|
|
:func:`conditional_escape` before being passed to ``str.format``.
|
|
|
|
For the case of building up small HTML fragments, this function is to be
|
|
preferred over string interpolation using ``%`` or ``str.format`` directly,
|
|
because it applies escaping to all arguments - just like the Template system
|
|
applies escaping by default.
|
|
|
|
So, instead of writing:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
mark_safe(u"%s <b>%s</b> %s" % (some_html,
|
|
escape(some_text),
|
|
escape(some_other_text),
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
you should instead use:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
format_html(u"%{0} <b>{1}</b> {2}",
|
|
mark_safe(some_html), some_text, some_other_text)
|
|
|
|
This has the advantage that you don't need to apply :func:`escape` to each
|
|
argument and risk a bug and an XSS vulnerability if you forget one.
|
|
|
|
Note that although this function uses ``str.format`` to do the
|
|
interpolation, some of the formatting options provided by `str.format`_
|
|
(e.g. number formatting) will not work, since all arguments are passed
|
|
through :func:`conditional_escape` which (ultimately) calls
|
|
:func:`~django.utils.encoding.force_text` on the values.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: strip_tags(value)
|
|
|
|
Removes anything that looks like an html tag from the string, that is
|
|
anything contained within ``<>``.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
strip_tags(value)
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"`` the
|
|
return value will be ``"Joel is a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: remove_tags(value, tags)
|
|
|
|
Removes a list of [X]HTML tag names from the output.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
remove_tags(value, ["b", "span"])
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"`` the
|
|
return value will be ``"Joel <button>is</button> a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
Note that this filter is case-sensitive.
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<B>Joel</B> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"`` the
|
|
return value will be ``"<B>Joel</B> <button>is</button> a slug"``.

|
|
|
|
Functions and classes for working with "safe strings": strings that can be
|
|
displayed safely without further escaping in HTML. Marking something as a "safe
|
|
string" means that the producer of the string has already turned characters
|
|
that should not be interpreted by the HTML engine (e.g. '<') into the
|
|
appropriate entities.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: SafeBytes
|
|

|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
A :class:`bytes` subclass that has been specifically marked as "safe"
|
|
(requires no further escaping) for HTML output purposes.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: SafeString
|
|
|
|
A :class:`str` subclass that has been specifically marked as "safe"
|
|
(requires no further escaping) for HTML output purposes. This is
|
|
:class:`SafeBytes` on Python 2 and :class:`SafeText` on Python 3.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: SafeText
|
|
|
|

|
|
that has been specifically marked as "safe" for HTML output purposes.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: SafeUnicode
|
|
|
|
Historical name of :class:`SafeText`. Only available under Python 2.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: mark_safe(s)
|
|
|
|
Explicitly mark a string as safe for (HTML) output purposes. The returned
|
|
object can be used everywhere a string or unicode object is appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Can be called multiple times on a single string.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: mark_for_escaping(s)
|
|
|
|
Explicitly mark a string as requiring HTML escaping upon output. Has no
|
|
effect on ``SafeData`` subclasses.

Same as the non-lazy versions above, but using lazy execution.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`lazy translations documentation <lazy-translations>`.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: gettext_noop(message)
|
|
.. function:: ugettext_noop(message)
|
|
|
|
Marks strings for translation but doesn't translate them now. This can be
|
|
used to store strings in global variables that should stay in the base
|
|
language (because they might be used externally) and will be translated
|
|
later.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: ngettext(singular, plural, number)
|
|
|
|
Translates ``singular`` and ``plural`` and returns the appropriate string
|
|
based on ``number`` in a UTF-8 bytestring.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: ungettext(singular, plural, number)
|
|
|
|
Translates ``singular`` and ``plural`` and returns the appropriate string
|
|
based on ``number`` in a unicode string.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: npgettext(context, singular, plural, number)
|
|
|
|
Translates ``singular`` and ``plural`` and returns the appropriate string
|
|
based on ``number`` and the ``context`` in a unicode string.

|
|
.. function:: ungettext_lazy(singular, plural, number)
|
|
.. function:: npgettext_lazy(singular, plural, number)
|
|
|
|
Same as the non-lazy versions above, but using lazy execution.

|
|
|
See :ref:`lazy translations documentation <lazy-translations>`.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: string_concat(*strings)

Lazy variant of string concatenation, needed for translations that are
|
|
constructed from multiple parts.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: activate(language)
|
|
|
|
Fetches the translation object for a given language and installs it as
|
|
the current translation object for the current thread.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: deactivate()
|
|
|
|
De-installs the currently active translation object so that further _ calls
|
|
will resolve against the default translation object, again.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: deactivate_all()
|
|
|
|
Makes the active translation object a NullTranslations() instance. This is
|
|
useful when we want delayed translations to appear as the original string
|
|
for some reason.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: override(language, deactivate=False)
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
A Python context manager that uses
|
|
:func:`django.utils.translation.activate` to fetch the translation object
|
|
for a given language, installing it as the translation object for the
|
|
current thread and reinstall the previous active language on exit.
|
|
Optionally it can simply deinstall the temporary translation on exit with
|
|
:func:`django.utils.translation.deactivate` if the deactivate argument is
|
|
True. If you pass None as the language argument, a NullTranslations()
|
|
instance is installed while the context is active.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_language()
|
|
|
|
Returns the currently selected language code.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_language_bidi()

|
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Analyzes the request to find what language the user wants the system to show.
|
|
Only languages listed in settings.LANGUAGES are taken into account. If the user
|
|
requests a sublanguage where we have a main language, we send out the main
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
If ``check_path`` is ``True``, the function first checks the requested URL
|
|
for whether its path begins with a language code listed in the
|
|
:setting:`LANGUAGES` setting.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: to_locale(language)
|
|
|
|
Turns a language name (en-us) into a locale name (en_US).
|
|
|
|
.. function:: templatize(src)
|
|
|
|
Turns a Django template into something that is understood by xgettext. It does
|
|
so by translating the Django translation tags into standard gettext function
|
|
invocations.

subclass or, if pytz_ is available, a time zone name.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: deactivate()
|
|
|
|
Unsets the :ref:`current time zone <default-current-time-zone>`.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: override(timezone)
|
|
|
|
This is a Python context manager that sets the :ref:`current time zone
|
|
<default-current-time-zone>` on entry with :func:`activate()`, and restores
|
|
the previously active time zone on exit. If the ``timezone`` argument is
|

|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: now()
|
|
|

.. function:: make_aware(value, timezone)
|
|
|
|
Returns an aware :class:`~datetime.datetime` that represents the same
|
|
point in time as ``value`` in ``timezone``, ``value`` being a naive

|
:class:`~datetime.datetime`.
|
|
|
|
This function can raise an exception if ``value`` doesn't exist or is
|
|
ambiguous because of DST transitions.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: make_naive(value, timezone)
|
|
|
|
