now still returns a string; albeit a quoted one. An additional API
(model_path_tuple) now also exists which can be used to get a model
path as a tuple.
- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` API now returns a *quoted*
string rather than a string represented by series of unquoted
elements joined via ``/`` characters. Previously it returned a
string or unicode object representing the model path, with each
segment name in the path joined together via ``/`` characters,
e.g. ``/foo /bar``. Now it returns a string, where each segment is
a UTF-8 encoded and URL-quoted element e.g. ``/foo%20/bar``. This
change was (as discussed briefly on the repoze-dev maillist)
necessary to accomodate model objects which themselves have
``__name__`` attributes that contain the ``/`` character.
For people that have no models that have high-order Unicode
``__name__`` attributes or ``__name__`` attributes with values that
require URL-quoting with in their model graphs, this won't cause any
issue. However, if you have code that currently expects
``model_path`` to return an unquoted string, or you have an existing
application with data generated via the old method, and you're too
lazy to change anything, you may wish replace the BFG-imported
``model_path`` in your code with this function (this is the code of
the "old" ``model_path`` implementation)::
from repoze.bfg.location import lineage
def i_am_too_lazy_to_move_to_the_new_model_path(model, *elements):
rpath = []
for location in lineage(model):
if location.__name__:
rpath.append(location.__name__)
path = '/' + '/'.join(reversed(rpath))
if elements:
suffix = '/'.join(elements)
path = '/'.join([path, suffix])
return path
- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API no longer implicitly
converts unicode representations of a full path passed to it as a
Unicode object into a UTF-8 string. Callers should either use
prequoted path strings returned by
``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``, or tuple values returned by the
result of ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` or they should
use the guidelines about passing a string ``path`` argument
described in the ``find_model`` API documentation.
- Each argument contained in ``elements`` passed to
``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` will now have any ``/``
characters contained within quoted to ``%2F`` in the returned
string. Previously, ``/`` characters in elements were left unquoted
(a bug).
- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` API was added. This API
is an alternative to ``model_path`` (which returns a string);
``model_path_tuple`` returns a model path as a tuple (much like
Zope's ``getPhysicalPath``).
- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment`` API was added. This
API will quote an individual path segment (string or unicode
object). See the ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` API documentation for
more information.
