* "Return true/false" is replaced with "Return ``True``/``False``" if the function actually returns a bool. * Fixed formatting of some True and False literals (now in monospace). * Replaced "True/False" with "true/false" if it can be not only bool. * Replaced some 1/0 with True/False if it corresponds the code. * "Returns <bool>" is replaced with "Return <bool>".

:mod:`stringprep` --- Internet String Preparation

.. module:: stringprep
|
|
:synopsis: String preparation, as per RFC 3453

**Source code:** :source:`Lib/stringprep.py`

--------------

|
|
|
When identifying things (such as host names) in the internet, it is often
|
|
necessary to compare such identifications for "equality". Exactly how this
|
|
comparison is executed may depend on the application domain, e.g. whether it
|
|
should be case-insensitive or not. It may be also necessary to restrict the
|
|
possible identifications, to allow only identifications consisting of
|
|
"printable" characters.
|
|
|
|
:rfc:`3454` defines a procedure for "preparing" Unicode strings in internet
|
|
protocols. Before passing strings onto the wire, they are processed with the
|
|
preparation procedure, after which they have a certain normalized form. The RFC
|
|
defines a set of tables, which can be combined into profiles. Each profile must
|
|
define which tables it uses, and what other optional parts of the ``stringprep``
|
|
procedure are part of the profile. One example of a ``stringprep`` profile is
|
|
``nameprep``, which is used for internationalized domain names.
|
|
|
|
The module :mod:`stringprep` only exposes the tables from :rfc:`3454`. As these
|
|
tables would be very large to represent them as dictionaries or lists, the
|
|
module uses the Unicode character database internally. The module source code
|
|
itself was generated using the ``mkstringprep.py`` utility.
|
|
|
|
As a result, these tables are exposed as functions, not as data structures.
|
|
There are two kinds of tables in the RFC: sets and mappings. For a set,
|
|
:mod:`stringprep` provides the "characteristic function", i.e. a function that
|
|
returns ``True`` if the parameter is part of the set. For mappings, it provides the
|
|
mapping function: given the key, it returns the associated value. Below is a
|
|
list of all functions available in the module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: in_table_a1(code)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: in_table_b1(code)
|
|
|
|
Determine whether *code* is in tableB.1 (Commonly mapped to nothing).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: map_table_b2(code)
|
|
|
|
Return the mapped value for *code* according to tableB.2 (Mapping for
|
|
case-folding used with NFKC).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: map_table_b3(code)
|
|
|
|
Return the mapped value for *code* according to tableB.3 (Mapping for
|
|
case-folding used with no normalization).
|
