By using a Subject object, and a dict of described logic tests, it is possible to arrive at a True or False result for various purposes: 1. Data validation 2. UI control visibility A Subject can be any object whose members are readable with getattr() : class Subject(object): a = 0 b = 1 c = 'foo' d = True e = False f = 8 g = 'bar' Tests are described thus: Use the special list types Logic_AND and Logic_OR to describe combinations of values and other members. Use Logic_Operator for numerical comparison. With regards to Subject, each of these evaluate to True: TESTA = { 'a': 0, 'c': Logic_OR([ 'foo', 'bar' ]), 'd': Logic_AND([True, True]), 'f': Logic_AND([8, {'b': 1}]), 'e': {'b': Logic_Operator({'gte':1, 'lt':3}) }, 'g': Logic_OR([ 'baz', Logic_AND([{'b': 1}, {'f': 8}]) ]) } With regards to Subject, each of these evaluate to False: TESTB = { 'a': 'foo', 'c': Logic_OR([ 'bar', 'baz' ]), 'd': Logic_AND([ True, 'foo' ]), 'f': Logic_AND([9, {'b': 1}]), 'e': {'b': Logic_Operator({'gte':-10, 'lt': 1}) }, 'g': Logic_OR([ 'baz', Logic_AND([{'b':0}, {'f': 8}]) ]) } With regards to Subject, this test is invalid TESTC = { 'n': 0 } Tests are executed thus: S = Subject() L = Logician(S) L.execute(TESTA) """ class Logic_AND(list): pass class Logic_OR(list): pass class Logic_Operator(dict): pass class Logician(object): """Given a subject and a dict that describes tests to perform on its members, this class will evaluate True or False results for each member/test pair.
