#91: Improve parsing in Shared_Functions.get_dictionary_from_string(..)
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: jcaffaro | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: v1.0
Component: WebSubmit | Version: v0.99.1
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
The get_dictionary_from_string(..) taking care of parsing WebSubmit
function parameters given using a syntax similar to Python dictionary
would need to be improved.
Currently the function does not support commas (,) in keys and values, or
colon (:) in values. For eg. the following returns unexpected values:
{{{
from invenio.websubmit_functions.Shared_Functions import
get_dictionary_from_string
get_dictionary_from_string('{"foo,": "bar"}')
get_dictionary_from_string('{"foo": "bar,bar"}')
get_dictionary_from_string('{"foo:": "bar"}')
}}}
(colon ":" in values is to be quickly fixed in a soon to be integrated
patch, but a cleaner approach is still needed)
