python调用perl,如何从Python中读取Perl数据结构？

I've often seen people use Perl data structures in lieu of configuration files; i.e. a lone file containing only:

%config = (

'color' => 'red',

'numbers' => [5, 8],

qr/^spam/ => 'eggs'

);

What's the best way to convert the contents of these files into Python-equivalent data structures, using pure Python? For the time being we can assume that there are no real expressions to evaluate, only structured data.

Not sure what the use case is. Here's my assumption: you're going to do a one-time conversion from Perl to Python.

Perl has this

%config = (

'color' => 'red',

'numbers' => [5, 8],

qr/^spam/ => 'eggs'

);

In Python, it would be

config = {

'color' : 'red',

'numbers' : [5, 8],

re.compile( "^spam" ) : 'eggs'

}

So, I'm guessing it's a bunch of RE's to replace

%variable = ( with variable = {

); with }

variable => value with variable : value

qr/.../ => with re.compile( r"..." ) : value

However, Python's built-in dict doesn't do anything unusual with a regex as a hash key. For that, you'd have to write your own subclass of dict, and override __getitem__ to check REGEX keys separately.

class PerlLikeDict( dict ):

pattern_type= type(re.compile(""))

def __getitem__( self, key ):

if key in self:

return super( PerlLikeDict, self ).__getitem__( key )

for k in self:

if type(k) == self.pattern_type:

if k.match(key):

return self[k]

raise KeyError( "key %r not found" % ( key, ) )

Here's the example of using a Perl-like dict.

>>> pat= re.compile( "hi" )

>>> a = { pat : 'eggs' } # native dict, no features.

>>> x=PerlLikeDict( a )

>>> x['b']= 'c'

>>> x

{<_sre.sre_pattern object at>: 'eggs', 'b': 'c'}

>>> x['b']

'c'

>>> x['ji']

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

File "", line 10, in __getitem__

KeyError: "key 'ji' not found"

>>> x['hi']

'eggs'
