class hio.help.hicting.Hict

Bases: multidict.CIMultiDict

Hict is a Case Insensitive Keyed Multiple valued dictionary like class that extends CIMultiDict and is used for HTTP headers which have case insentive labels. Insertion order of keys preserved. Associated with each key is a valuelist i.e. a list of values for that key.

https://multidict.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ CIMultiDict keys must be subclass of str no ints allowed In CIMultiDict:

.add(key,value) appends value to the valuelist at key

m[“key”] = value replaces the valuelist at key with [value]

m[“key”] returns the first added element of the valuelist at key

MultiDict methods access values in FIFO order Hict adds method to access values in LIFO order

Extended methods in Hict but not in CIMultiDict are:

nabone(key [,default]) get last value at key else default or KeyError nab(key [,default]) get last value at key else default or None naball(key [,default]) get all values inverse order else default or KeyError firsts() get all items where item value is first inserted value at key lasts() get all items where item value is last insterted value at key

__repr__(self)

nabone(self, key, *pa, **kwa)

Usage:

.nabone(key [, default])

returns last value at key if key in dict else default raises KeyError if key not in dict and default not provided.

nab(self, key, *pa, **kwa)

Usage:

.nab(key [, default])

returns last value at key if key in dict else default returns None if key not in dict and default not provided.

naball(self, key, *pa, **kwa)

Usage:

.nabone(key [, default])

returns list of values at key if key in dict else default raises KeyError if key not in dict and default not provided.

firsts(self)

Returns list of (key, value) pair where each value is first value at key but with no duplicate keys. MultiDict .keys() returns a key for each duplicate value

lasts(self)

Returns list of (key, value) pairs where each value is last value at key but with no duplicate keys. MultiDict .keys() returns a key for each duplicate value

Bases: multidict.MultiDict
