多层C类型结构的字典的YAML表示得到了一个奇怪的对象。

YAML representation of a dictionary from multi-level Ctype Structure gets a strange object

问题

TL;DR: 我有一个包含另一个结构的ctype结构,我将其(看似正确)转换为Python字典,然后尝试将其转储到YAML中。但内部结构的值显示错误。

Python版本:3.10
Pyyaml版本:6.0

背景:我试图使我们的内部配置处理更加用户友好。我们的配置文件是从C结构的序列化副本中的数据生成的,直到现在,它是通过十六进制编辑器手动更改的。我的计划是使这个过程更加人类可读,短期内通过读取和写入YAML文件来实现。

我使用Ctypes Structure来序列化和反序列化数据,主要是因为我必须支持位字段。Ctype Structure可以用作模板,没有实际的值。

我通过删除不相关的函数并缩短结构来简化了代码。

我创建了一个My_Structure类,它继承自Ctypes的Structure,并允许以不同的方式表示数据,包括字典。这似乎效果不错。

但是,当我尝试将这个字典转储到YAML文件时,ee_sruct内部的substruct的值被错误地转储,就像一个Python对象一样。我不明白为什么会这样,因为类型检查显示它仍然是一个字典。

如果我使用具有与get_as_dict返回的内容完全相同的硬编码字典,一切正常。

显然,转储函数没有获得与从get_as_dict打印的数据相同的数据。为什么会这样,我该如何修复它?

我尝试的方法:
我的第一个想法是实现一个递归函数,以返回内部结构的dict(类似于我为数组所做的)。但是我不确定从何处开始,因为substruct已经被报告为dict,并且使用字符串(硬编码)表示法可行。

How to export a Pydantic model instance as YAML with URL type as string 看起来是一个不错的方法,但是将StructureYAMLObject结合使用导致了元类冲突,我无法解决。

我尝试将数据转储为Json或使用ruamel.yml,但两者都引发了异常,抱怨substruct_t

Combining Dumper class with string representer to get exact required YAML output 可能是正确的方法,但看起来相当复杂,我希望有一个更简单的解决方案,我可能只是忽略了它。

我只是找到了一个“脏”解决方法,步骤如下:

  • 将从get_as_dict()得到的字典转换为字符串
  • 将所有'字符替换为"
  • 使用json.loads()在字符串上创建一个新字典,并使用该字典
    它可以工作,但只是强调了我的问题,为什么两个字典与转储器不同?

TL;DR: I have a ctype Structure with another Structure inside, which I convert (seemingly correct) to a python dictionary, then I attempt to dump it into YAML. However the value of the internal Structure is shown wrong.

Python version: 3.10
Pyyaml version: 6.0

Background: I am trying to make our internal configuration handling more user-friendly. Our configuration files are the serialized copy of data from a C structure, and until now it was changed manually via hexeditor. My plan is to make this process more human readable, in a short term reading and writing YAML files.

I am using Ctypes Structure to serialize and deserialize the data, mainly because I have to support bitfields. The Ctype Structure could be used as a template, without actual values in it.

I have simplified the code by removing irrelevant functions and shortening the structures.

class substruct_t(My_Structure):
    _pack_ = 1
    _fields_ = [
        ("app", c_uint8, 4),
        ("showScale", c_uint8, 2),
        ("showIdleTemp", c_uint8, 2),
        ("type", c_uint8),
    ]

class ee_struct(My_Structure):
    _pack_ = 1
    _fields_ = [
        ("txStatusDelay", c_uint8, 5),
        ("overrideHours", c_uint8, 3),
        ("manualSet", c_int16),
        ("tempOffset", c_int8),

        ("substruct", substruct_t),

        ("LogArr", (c_uint8*6)*3),
        ("frostTemp", c_int8),
        ("fileVer", c_uint8*4),
    ]

class eeprom_t(Union):
    _fields_ = [("as_struct", ee_struct), ("as_bytes", c_uint8*29)]

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        return str(self.as_struct)
    
    def get_as_dict(self):
        return self.as_struct.as_dict()
    
    def get_as_bytes(self):
        return np.ndarray((29, ), 'b', self.as_bytes, order='C')

I have created a My_Structure class, which inherits from Ctypes Structure, and allows different representation of the data, including dict. This seems to work well.

# Child class of Structure with string and dictionary representation functions, unwrapping arrays
class My_Structure(Structure):
    def __recursive_carray_get(self, value):
        # Necessary recursive function, if value is ctype array
        if hasattr(value, '__len__'):
            rtn = list()
            for i in range(value.__len__()):
                rtn.append(self.__recursive_carray_get(value.__getitem__(i)))
        else:
            rtn = value
        return rtn

    def __handle_array_type__(self, type):
        # example unformatted type: <class '__main__.c_ubyte_Array_6_Array_3'>
        return StringBetween("'", "'", str(type)).split(".")[1]
    
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return str(self.as_dict())

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        values = ",\n".join(f"{name}={value['value']}" for name, value in self.as_dict().items())
        return f"<{self.__class__.__name__}: {values}>"
    
    def as_dict(self) -> dict:
        return {field[0]: {'value': self.__recursive_carray_get(getattr(self, field[0])), 'type': self.__handle_array_type__(field[1])}
                for field in self._fields_}

However when I want to dump this dict into a YAML file, the value of substruct within ee_sruct is dumped badly, like a python object. I do not understand why, as a typecheck shows it is still a dict.

 ### Dict representation of substructure:
{'value': {'app': {'value': 2, 'type': 'c_ubyte'}, 'showScale': {'value': 0, 'type': 'c_ubyte'}, 'showIdleTemp': {'value': 1, 'type': 'c_ubyte'}, 'type': {'value': 2, 'type': 'c_ubyte'}}, 'type': 'substruct_t'}

 ### pyyaml dump of entire structure:
txStatusDelay: {value: 8, type: c_ubyte}
overrideHours: {value: 1, type: c_ubyte}
manualSet: {value: 100, type: c_short}
tempOffset: {value: 0, type: c_byte}
substruct:
  value: !!python/object/apply:_ctypes._unpickle
  - !!python/name:__main__.substruct_t ''
  - !!python/tuple
    - {}
    - !!binary |
      QgI=
  type: substruct_t
LogArr:
  value:
  - [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
  - [2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
  - [3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
  type: c_ubyte_Array_6_Array_3
frostTemp: {value: 16, type: c_byte}
fileVer:
  value: [65, 66, 104, 0]
  type: c_ubyte_Array_4

If I use a hardcoded dict with the exact same contents I get from get_as_dict, everything works.

Apparently, the dump functions don't get the same data as what gets printed from get_as_dict. Why is that, and how can I fix it?

What I tried:

My first idea was to implement a recursive function to return dict for internal structures (similarly what I did for arrays), but I was not sure where to start, as substruct is already reported as dict, and using the string (hardcoded) representation works.

How to export a Pydantic model instance as YAML with URL type as string seemed like a good approach, but combining Structure and YAMLObject resulted in a metaclass conflict, which I was unable to resolve.

I tried to dump into Json or using ruamel.yml, both throw an exception, complaining about substruct_t.

Combining Dumper class with string representer to get exact required YAML output could be the right approach, however it looks quite complicated, and I am hoping, there is a more simple solution that I just overlooked.

I just found a dirty fix, following the steps:

  • convert the dict from get_as_dict() to a string
  • replace all ' characters to "
  • use json.loads() on the string to create a new dict, and use that instead
    It works, but it just underlines my question, why are the two dicts different to the dumpers?

得分: 0

以下是您提供的内容的翻译:

Listing [Python.Docs]: ctypes - 用于Python的外部函数库

问题在于*__recursive_carray_get*,它像其名称所示(处理数组,这是一致的)。

但是,当涉及到(子)结构时,它不处理它们(或者将它们处理为任何基本类型):

  1. 因此,当将ee_struct实例序列化为字典(通过调用其as_dict方法)时,substruct键对应的值实际上是substruct_t实例

  2. 由于重写了*__repr__(也使用as_dict*),在打印字典时,** substruct_t实例也显示为字典,掩盖了以前的错误**

我修复了您的代码中的错误,并进行了一些其他改进(更改最少的情况下)。

Listing [\[Python.Docs\]: ctypes - A foreign function library for Python](https://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html#module-ctypes).

The problem is that *\_\_recursive\_carray\_get*, does what it name suggests (handles arrays, which is consistent).

**But**, when it comes to (sub) structures, it doesn&#39;t handle them (or it handles them as any basic type):

1. So, when the *ee\_struct* instance is serialized to a dictionary (by calling its *as\_dict* method), **the value corresponding to the *substruct* key is actually a *substruct\_t* instance**

2. Due to the fact that *\_\_repr\_\_* is overridden (to also use *as\_dict*), when printing the dictionary, **the *substruct\_t* instance is also displayed as a dictionary, masking the previous error**

I fixed the errors in your code, and added some other improvements (with minimum changes).

*code00.py*:
