astropy.extern.configobj.validate:is_mixed_list

Extended Summary

You specify each member as a positional argument specifying type

Each type should be one of the following strings :

'integer', 'float', 'ip_addr', 'string', 'boolean'

So you can specify a list of two strings, followed by two integers as :

mixed_list('string', 'string', 'integer', 'integer')

The length of the list must match the number of positional arguments you supply.

>>> mix_str = "mixed_list('integer', 'float', 'ip_addr', 'string', 'boolean')"
>>> check_res = vtor.check(mix_str, (1, 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a', True))
>>> check_res == [1, 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a', True]
1
>>> check_res = vtor.check(mix_str, ('1', '2.0', '1.2.3.4', 'a', 'True'))
>>> check_res == [1, 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a', True]
1
>>> vtor.check(mix_str, ('b', 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a', True))
Traceback (most recent call last):
VdtTypeError: the value "b" is of the wrong type.
>>> vtor.check(mix_str, (1, 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
VdtValueTooShortError: the value "(1, 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a')" is too short.
>>> vtor.check(mix_str, (1, 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a', 1, 'b'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
VdtValueTooLongError: the value "(1, 2.0, '1.2.3.4', 'a', 1, 'b')" is too long.
>>> vtor.check(mix_str, 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
VdtTypeError: the value "0" is of the wrong type.

>>> vtor.check('mixed_list("yoda")', ('a'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
VdtParamError: passed an incorrect value "KeyError('yoda',)" for parameter "'mixed_list'"
