from ecflow import Defs,Suite,Variable,Edit
defs = Defs(Suite("s1",HELLO="world",FRED="bloggs",BILL=1,NAME="value",NAME2="value2"))
defs.s1.add_variable('NAME4',4)
defs.s1 += Edit(NAME3="value3")
The following examples show alternative styles that produce the same definition:
defs = Defs().add(
Suite("s1").add(
Edit(HELLO="world", FRED="bloggs",BILL=1,
NAME="value", NAME2="value2",
NAME3="value3",NAME4=4)))
| defs = Defs() + Suite("s1")
defs.s1 += { "HELLO":"world", "NAME":"value",
"NAME2":"value2","NAME3":"value3",
"NAME4":4,"BILL":1, "FRED":"bloggs"}
| defs = Defs() + Suite("s1")
defs.s1 += [ Edit(HELLO="world"),
Edit({ "NAME":"value","NAME2":"value2",
"NAME3":"value3", "NAME4":4 },
BILL=1),
Edit(FRED="bloggs")]
|
Note: that although we are using class Edit as a short cut, the objects that are added are still of type Variable.
In the example above we use 'defs.s1' to reference a node by name. This is useful in small designs but will produce maintenance issues in large designs IF the node names are changed.
