text_formatter.check - Check the text types, to see if they can be used on other text_formatter functions

Source code: text_formatter/check.py

This module has functions to test strings and other text types, to see if they can be easily used by other text_formatter submodules.

text_formatter.check.checkString(s, strict=False)

Parameters

• s – String passed to be tested.

• strict – If True, use a stricter algorithm for checking.

Returns

Nothing.

Return type

None

Raises

text_formatter.exceptions.InvalidString – if the string does not satisfies the expected.

Checks if a string can be used by text_formatter. In general, it checks if no region-specific characters are used. If strict is True, this function will only accept letters and digits (not symbols!).

In most of the cases, this function is being used by internal text_formatter functions.

text_formatter.check.strict_allowed_chars

Type

str

Value

"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPKRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890 "

The string used by checkString() when the arg strict is True. Basically, it is the result of string.ascii_letters + string.string_digits + " ".

text_formatter.check.allowed_string_chars

Type

str

Value

"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPKRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890-$#%/()=!'<>.:,;[]{}*+?¿¡\" "

A more-inclusive string, the default for checkString. It includes all around strict_allowed_chars, and also includes symbols, quotes, etc.
