Environment (xonsh.environ)

Environment for the xonsh shell.

class xonsh.environ.Env(*args, **kwargs)

A xonsh environment, whose variables have limited typing (unlike BASH). Most variables are, by default, strings (like BASH). However, the following rules also apply based on variable-name:

• PATH: any variable whose name ends in PATH is a list of strings.

• XONSH_HISTORY_SIZE: this variable is an (int | float, str) tuple.

• LC_* (locale categories): locale category names get/set the Python locale via locale.getlocale() and locale.setlocale() functions.

An Env instance may be converted to an untyped version suitable for use in a subprocess.

If no initial environment is given, os_environ is used.

clear() → None. Remove all items from D.

deregister(name)

Deregister an enviornment variable and all its type handling, default value, doc.

Parameters

namestr

Environment variable name to deregister. Typically all caps.

detype()

get(key, default=None)

The environment will look up default values from its own defaults if a default is not given here.

get_converter(key, default=None)

Gets a converter for the given key.

get_default(key, default=None)

Gets default for the given key.

get_detyper(key, default=None)

Gets a detyper for the given key.

get_docs(key, default=None)

Gets the documentation for the environment variable.

get_validator(key, default=None)

Gets a validator for the given key.

help(key)

Get information about a specific environment variable.

is_manually_set(varname)

Checks if an environment variable has been manually set.

items() → a set-like object providing a view on D’s items

keys() → a set-like object providing a view on D’s keys

pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.

If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.

popitem() → (k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair

as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.

rawkeys()

An iterator that returns all environment keys in their original form. This include string & compiled regular expression keys.

register(name, type=None, default=None, doc='', validate=<function always_true>, convert=None, detype=<function ensure_string>, doc_configurable=True, doc_default=<xonsh.tools.DefaultNotGivenType object>, doc_store_as_str=False)

Register an enviornment variable with optional type handling, default value, doc.

Parameters

namestr

Environment variable name to register. Typically all caps.

typestr, optional, {‘bool’, ‘str’, ‘path’, ‘env_path’, ‘int’, ‘float’}

Variable type. If not one of the available presets, use validate, convert, and detype to specify type behavior.

defaultoptional

Default value for variable. ValueError raised if type does not match that specified by type (or validate).

docstr, optional

Docstring for variable.

validatefunc, optional

Function to validate type.

convertfunc, optional

Function to convert variable from a string representation to its type.

detypefunc, optional

Function to convert variable from its type to a string representation.

doc_configurablebool, optional

Flag for whether the environment variable is configurable or not.

doc_defaultstr, optional

Custom docstring for the default value for complex defaults. If this is DefaultNotGiven, then the default will be looked up from DEFAULT_VALUES and converted to a str.

doc_store_as_strbool, optional

Flag for whether the environment variable should be stored as a string. This is used when persisting a variable that is not JSON serializable to the config file. For example, sets, frozensets, and potentially other non-trivial data types. default, False.

replace_env()

Replaces the contents of os_environ with a detyped version of the xonsh environment.

setdefault(k[, d]) → D.get(k,d), also set D[k]=d if k not in D

swap(other=None, **kwargs)

Provides a context manager for temporarily swapping out certain environment variables with other values. On exit from the context manager, the original values are restored.

undo_replace_env()

Replaces the contents of os_environ with a detyped version of the xonsh environment.

update([E, ]**F) → None. Update D from mapping/iterable E and F.

If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v

values() → an object providing a view on D’s values

class xonsh.environ.LsColors(ini_dict: dict = None)

Helps convert to/from $LS_COLORS format, respecting the xonsh color style. This accepts the same inputs as dict(). The special value target is replaced by no color, but sets a flag for cognizant application (see is_target()).

clear() → None. Remove all items from D.

classmethod convert(x)

Converts an object to LsColors, if needed.

detype()

De-types the instance, allowing it to be exported to the environment.

classmethod fromdircolors(filename=None)

Constructs an LsColors instance by running dircolors. If a filename is provided, it is passed down to the dircolors command.

classmethod fromstring(s)

Creates a new instance of the LsColors class from a colon-separated string of dircolor-valid keys to ANSI color escape sequences.

get(k[, d]) → D[k] if k in D, else d. d defaults to None.

is_target(key) → bool

Return True if key is ‘target’

items() → a set-like object providing a view on D’s items

keys() → a set-like object providing a view on D’s keys

pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.

If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.

popitem() → (k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair

as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.

setdefault(k[, d]) → D.get(k,d), also set D[k]=d if k not in D

update([E, ]**F) → None. Update D from mapping/iterable E and F.

If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v

values() → an object providing a view on D’s values
