pyrokinetics.file_utils.FileReaderFactory

class pyrokinetics.file_utils.FileReaderFactory(file_type, super_class=<class 'object'>)

Bases: Factory

Factory variant in which file type can be inferred from a path as well as a key.

Parameters:

• file_type (Type)

• super_class (Type)

__init__(file_type, super_class=<class 'object'>)

Parameters:

• file_type (Type)

• super_class (Type)

Methods

__init__(file_type[, super_class])
create(key, *args, **kwargs)	Create a new object of type key, forwarding all arguments.
items()	Dict-like items iterator
register(key, cls)	Register a new type with the factory.
type(key)	Returns type associated with a given key.

type(key)

Returns type associated with a given key. If there is no type registered with that key, tries to infer the type by reading the file. This makes use of the verify_file_type() functions implemented for each registered reader.

Return type:

Type

Parameters:

key (str)
