MFD Base Tool

Module for abstraction of tool (wrappers).

ToolTemplate has got 3 main methods:

• _get_tool_exec_factory(self) -> str - responsible to return correct tool execute name according to e.g. OS. Should use tool_executable_name structure as store for names.
• check_if_available(self) -> None - responsible for checking, if tool is available and executable in system. Should raise exception if not
• get_version(self) -> str - responsible for getting version of tool.

All methods and tool_executable_name variable in class must be implemented in developed tool. Arguments in public methods must be forced as named arguments: __init__(self, *, arg1, arg2) etc.

Usage

Example implementation using ToolTemplate:

from mfd_base_tool import ToolTemplate


class MyTool(ToolTemplate):
    tool_executable_name = "my tool name"
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def _get_tool_exec_factory(self) -> str:
        return self.tool_executable_name

    def check_if_available(self) -> None:
        if not "if statement for check":
            raise MyToolNotAvailable()

    def get_version(self) -> str:
        return "my read tool version"
    
    def my_tool_method(self):
        pass
