Hi Hans, the problem with this is, that we get some lvm properties, which look like this: { 'LVM_SOMETHING' : 'abc LVM_SOMETHING=def LVM_SOMETHING=xyz' } With regular split(), I would have to go over the list, and remove the LVM_SOMETHING= parts from [1:] items, re.split() does this for me. But you're right about the re special chars in name, that would break everything. I don't know if there are some special chars allowed in the udev properties keys, are they? If yes, I can do it with, .find(), .split(), .replace(), do you think it will be a better solution? -- Martin Gracik ----- "Hans de Goede" <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > Why are you using a re.split and not just a regular split, > also what happens if name has any re special chars in it, > is there a re escape function you can use? > > Regards, > > Hans > > > On 02/02/2010 07:48 PM, Martin Gracik wrote: > > Some of the values which are returned by udev are strings, > > which contain more values for the same key. > > The string format is "val1 key=val2 key=val3 ...". > > This fix makes sure we split this string into a list of values. > > --- > > pyudev.py | 6 ++++++ > > 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/pyudev.py b/pyudev.py > > index 6ab5d30..a16f9c3 100644 > > --- a/pyudev.py > > +++ b/pyudev.py > > @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ from __future__ import print_function > > import sys > > import os > > import fnmatch > > +import re > > from ctypes import * > > > > > > @@ -145,6 +146,11 @@ class UdevDevice(dict): > > name = > libudev_udev_list_entry_get_name(property_entry) > > value = > libudev_udev_list_entry_get_value(property_entry) > > > > + # XXX some of the strings contain a list of values in > them, > > + # we want to split them and make a list > > + if re.match(".* %s=.*" % name, value): > > + value = re.split(" %s=" % name, value) > > + > > self[name] = value > > > > # get next property entry > > _______________________________________________ > Anaconda-devel-list mailing list > Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
