PySchemaOrg

An experiment in making a Python interface to the Schema.org model and other similar models. This might act as a backbone for a microdata CMS, as the glue between a document store and templating system, but it attempts to be as neutral as possible on that count.

Elements

• multidict.py

  The initial implementation was (very lightly) adapted from Andrew Dalke's UnorderedMultiDict. It was the simplest, lightest implementation free of dependencies I could find on short notice. However, after experimenting with and learning from that code, I built a more idiosyncratic MultiDict that suited the base data model better.

• base.py

  There is a Base class from which many data models could be derived. The basic use is for descendent classes to form their own hierarchy, and to define a class dict containing properties that the class adds. The value for each property's key in the class dict is a callable or class path that marshals the data into an object.

  There are also some supporting functions to aid in automated data conversion.

• schema.py

  This is an attempt to replicate the entire schema.org schema in code. It uses the same property names, even when the spelling runs counter to Python convention.
