class ape.utils.abi.StructParser(method_abi: ConstructorABI | MethodABI | EventABI)

Bases: object

A utility class responsible for parsing structs out of values.

decode_output(values: list | tuple) → Any

Parse a list of output types and values into structs. Values are only altered when they are a struct. This method also handles structs within structs as well as arrays of structs.

Parameters:

values (Union[list, tuple]) – A list of of output values.

Returns:

The same input values only decoded into structs when applicable.

Return type:

Any

property default_name: str

encode_input(values: list | tuple | dict) → Any

Convert dicts and other objects to struct inputs.

Parameters:

values (Union[list, tuple]) – A list of of input values.

Returns:

The same input values only decoded into structs when applicable.

Return type:

Any

ape.utils.abi.create_struct(name: str, types: Sequence[ABIType], output_values: Sequence) → Any

Create a dataclass representing an ABI struct that can be used as inputs or outputs. The struct properties can be accessed via . notation, as keys in a dictionary, or numeric tuple access.

NOTE: This method assumes you already know the values to give to the struct properties.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – The name of the struct.

  • (list[ABIType] (types) – The types of values in the struct.

  • output_values (list[Any]) – The struct property values.

Returns True if the given output is a tuple where every item is named.

ape.utils.abi.is_struct(outputs: ABIType | Sequence[ABIType]) → bool

Returns True if the given output is a struct.

ape.utils.abi.returns_array(abi: MethodABI) → bool

Return type:

list[pathlib.Path]

ape.utils.os.get_full_extension(path: Path | str) → str

For a path like Path("Contract.t.sol"), returns .t.sol, unlike the regular Path property .suffix which returns .sol.

ape.utils.os.get_relative_path(target: Path, anchor: Path) → Path

Compute the relative path of target relative to anchor, which may or may not share a common ancestor.

NOTE ON PERFORMANCE: Both paths must be absolute to use this method. If you know both methods are absolute, this method is a performance boost. If you have to first call .absolute() on the paths, use target.relative_to(anchor) instead; as it will be faster in that case.

Parameters:

  • target (pathlib.Path) – The path we are interested in.

Returns:

The new path to the target path from the anchor path.

Return type:

Parameters:

path (Path) – The path to check.

Returns:

bool

ape.utils.os.is_relative_to(path: Path, target: Path) → bool

Search a path and determine its relevancy.

Parameters:

  • path (str) – Path represents a filesystem to find.

  • target (str) – Path represents a filesystem to match.

Returns:

True if the path is relative to the target path or False.

Return type:

bool

ape.utils.os.path_match(path: str | Path, *exclusions: str) → bool

A better glob-matching function. For example:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> p = Path("test/to/.build/me/2/file.json")
>>> p.match("**/.build/**")

>>> path_match(p, "**/.build/**")
True
ape.utils.os.run_in_tempdir(fn: Callable[[Path], Any], name: str | None = None)

Run the given function in a temporary directory with its path resolved.

Parameters:

  • name (Optional[str]) – Optionally name the temporary directory.

Returns:

The result of the function call.

Return type:

Any

class ape.utils.os.use_temp_sys_path(path: Path, exclude: list[Path] | None = None)

A context manager to manage injecting and removing paths from a user’s sys paths without permanently modifying it.

Process

class ape.utils.process.JoinableQueue(maxsize=0)

Bases: Queue

A queue that can be joined, useful for multi-processing. Borrowed from the py-geth library.

join(timeout=None)

Blocks until all items in the Queue have been gotten and processed.

The count of unfinished tasks goes up whenever an item is added to the queue. The count goes down whenever a consumer thread calls task_done() to indicate the item was retrieved and all work on it is complete.

When the count of unfinished tasks drops to zero, join() unblocks.

Spawn a new daemon thread. Borrowed from the py-geth library.

RPC

Usage example:

from typing import Optional
from ape.types import SnapshotID
from ape.utils import return_none_when_disconnected

@allow_disconnected
def try_snapshot(self) -> Optional[SnapshotID]:
    return self.chain.snapshot()
ape.utils.rpc.request_with_retry(func: Callable, min_retry_delay: int = 1000, retry_backoff_factor: int = 2, max_retry_delay: int = 30000, max_retries: int = 10, retry_jitter: int = 250, is_rate_limit: Callable[[Exception], bool] | None = None)
