FileWrapper Module

This module provides wrappers for file-like objects for encoding and decoding.

class knittingpattern.Dumper.FileWrapper.TextWrapper(binary_file, encoding)

Bases: object

Use this class if you have a binary-file but you want to write strings to it.

__init__(binary_file, encoding)

Create a wrapper around binary_file that encodes strings to bytes using encoding and writes them to binary_file.

Parameters:

• encoding (str) – The encoding to use to transfer the written string to bytes so they can be written to binary_file
• binary_file – a file-like object open in binary mode

__weakref__

list of weak references to the object (if defined)

write(string)

Write a string to the file.

class knittingpattern.Dumper.FileWrapper.BytesWrapper(text_file, encoding)

Bases: object

Use this class if you have a text-file but you want to write bytes to it.

__init__(text_file, encoding)

Create a wrapper around text_file that decodes bytes to string using encoding and writes them to text_file.

Parameters:

• encoding (str) – The encoding to use to transfer the written bytes to string so they can be written to text_file
• text_file – a file-like object open in text mode

__weakref__

list of weak references to the object (if defined)

write(bytes_)

Write bytes to the file.
