CLASSES
DictDB
DictReader
DictWriter
class DictDB
| Methods defined here:
|
| __init__(self, basename, mode='read', quiet=0)
| Initialize a DictDB object.
|
| Mode must be one of:
|
| read -- read-only access
|
| write -- write-only access, truncates existing files, does not work
| with .dz. dict created if nonexistant.
|
| update -- read/write access, dict created if nonexistant. Does not
| work with .dz.
|
| Read can read dict or dict.dz files. Write and update will NOT work
| with dict.dz files.
|
| If quiet is nonzero, status messages
| will be suppressed.
|
| _initindex(self)
| Load the entire index off disk into memory.
|
| addentry(self, defstr, headwords)
| Writes an entry. defstr holds the content of the definition.
| headwords is a list specifying one or more words under which this
| definition should be indexed. This function always adds \n
| to the end of defstr.
|
| addindexentry(self, word, start, size)
| Adds an entry to the index. word is the relevant word.
| start is the starting position in the dictionary and size is the
| size of the definition; both are integers.
|
| delindexentry(self, word, start=None, size=None)
| Removes an entry from the index; word is the word to search for.
|
| start and size are optional. If they are specified, only index
| entries matching the specified values will be removed.
|
| For instance, if word is "foo" and start and size are not specified,
| all index entries for the word foo will be removed. If start and size
| are specified, only those entries matching all criteria will be
| removed.
|
| This function does not actually remove the data from the .dict file.
| Therefore, information removed by this function will still
| exist on-disk in the .dict file, but the dict server will just
| not "see" it -- there will be no way to get to it anymore.
|
| Returns a count of the deleted entries.
|
| finish(self, dosort=1)
| Called to finish the writing process.
| **REQUIRED IF OPENED WITH 'update' OR 'write' MODES**.
| This will write the index and close the files.
|
| dosort is optional and defaults to true. If set to false,
| dictlib will not sort the index file. In this case, you
| MUST manually sort it through "sort -df" before it can be used.
|
| getdef(self, word)
| Given a definition name, returns a list of strings with all
| matching definitions. This is an *exact* match, not a
| case-insensitive one. Returns [] if word is not in the dictionary.
|
| getdeflist(self)
| Returns a list of strings naming all definitions contained
| in this dictionary.
|
| hasdef(self, word)
|
| setlonginfo(self, longinfo)
| Sets the extended information for this database. If there was
| already long info specified, we will use delindexentry() on it
| first.
|
| setshortname(self, shortname)
| Sets the shortname for this database. If there was already
| a shortname specified, we will use delindexentry() on it first.
|
| seturl(self, url)
| Sets the URL attribute of this database. If there was
| already a URL specified, we will use delindexentry() on it
| first.
|
| update(self, string)
| Writes string out, if not quiet.
|
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Data and non-method functions defined here:
|
| __doc__ = None
|
| __module__ = 'dictdlib'
| str(object) -> string
|
| Return a nice string representation of the object.
| If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object.
class DictReader
| This object provides compatibility with earlier versions
| of dictdlib. It is now deprecated.
|
| Methods defined here:
|
| __init__(self, basename)
| Initialize a DictReader object. Provide it with the basename.
|
| getdef(self, defname)
| Given a definition name, returns a list of strings
| with all matching definitions.
|
| getdeflist(self)
| Returns a list of strings naming all definitions contained
| in this dictionary.

| If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object.
|
| __module__ = 'dictdlib'
| str(object) -> string
|
| Return a nice string representation of the object.
| If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object.
class DictWriter
| This object provides compatibility with earlier versions
| of dictdlib. It is now deprecated.
|
| Methods defined here:
|
| __init__(self, basename, url='unknown', shortname='unknown', longinfo='unknown', quiet=0)
| Initialize a DictWriter object. Will create 'basename.dict' and
| 'basename.index' files. url, shortname, and longinfo specify the
| respective attributes of the database. If quiet is 1,
| status messages are not printed.
|
| finish(self, dosort=1)
| Called to finish the writing process. **REQUIRED**.
| This will write the index and close the files.
|
| dosort is optional and defaults to true. If set to false,
| dictlib will not sort the index file. In this case, you
| MUST manually sort it through "sort -df" before it can be used.

| writeentry(self, defstr, headwords)
| Writes an entry. defstr holds the content of the definition.
| headwords is a list specifying one or more words under which this
| definition should be indexed. This function always adds \n
| to the end of defstr.

FUNCTIONS
b64_decode(str)
Takes as input a string and returns an integer value of it decoded
with the base64 algorithm used by dict indexes.
b64_encode(val)
Takes as input an integer val and returns a string of it encoded
with the base64 algorithm used by dict indexes.
sortfunc(x, y)
Emulate sort -df.
sortnormalize(x)
Returns a value such that x is mapped to a format that sorts properly
with standard comparison.
