Doctests for the fundamental element classes
****************************************************************************

Test fixture initialization::

    >>> from dragonfly import *
    >>> from dragonfly.test import ElementTester


Alternative element class
============================================================================

Usage::

    >>> alt = Alternative([Literal("hello"), Literal("goodbye")])
    >>> test_alt = ElementTester(alt)
    >>> test_alt.recognize("hello")
    u'hello'
    >>> test_alt.recognize("goodbye")
    u'goodbye'
    >>> test_alt.recognize("hi")
    RecognitionFailure


Literal element class
============================================================================

Usage::

    >>> literal = Literal("hello")
    >>> test_literal = ElementTester(literal)
    >>> test_literal.recognize("hello")
    u'hello'
    >>> test_literal.recognize("goodbye")
    RecognitionFailure

Quoted words usage::

    >>> # Quoted words are not joined in the 'words' property.
    >>> # Also, double quotes are not present.
    >>> literal = Literal('this is a "quoted string" example')
    >>> literal.words
    ['this', 'is', 'a', 'quoted', 'string', 'example']
    >>> # The 'words_ext' property shows quoted words as single items.
    >>> # Double quotes are also not present.
    >>> literal.words_ext
    ['this', 'is', 'a', 'quoted string', 'example']
    >>> # Rules with quoted words can be recognized.
    >>> test_literal = ElementTester(literal)
    >>> test_literal.recognize('this is a quoted string example')
    u'this is a quoted string example'

Incomplete quotes::

    >>> # Incomplete quotes are left in.
    >>> literal = Literal('"quote')
    >>> literal.words
    ['"quote']
    >>> literal.words_ext
    ['"quote']
    >>> literal = Literal('a "quoted string" example plus "quote')
    >>> literal.words
    ['a', 'quoted', 'string', 'example', 'plus', '"quote']
    >>> literal.words_ext
    ['a', 'quoted string', 'example', 'plus', '"quote']

Non-default quote constructor arguments::

    >>> literal = Literal(u'this is a «quoted string» example',
    ...                   quote_start_str=u'«', quote_end_str=u'»')
    >>> literal.words
    ['this', 'is', 'a', 'quoted', 'string', 'example']
    >>> literal.words_ext
    ['this', 'is', 'a', 'quoted string', 'example']
    >>> test_literal = ElementTester(literal)
    >>> test_literal.recognize('this is a quoted string example')
    u'this is a quoted string example'

    >>> # Quotes are left in if specified.
    >>> literal = Literal('"quoted string"', strip_quote_strs=False)
    >>> literal.words
    ['"quoted', 'string"']
    >>> literal.words_ext
    ['"quoted string"']


Optional element class
============================================================================

Usage::

    >>> seq = Sequence([Literal("hello"), Optional(Literal("there"))])
    >>> test_seq = ElementTester(seq)
    >>> # Optional parts of the sequence can be left out.
    >>> test_seq.recognize("hello")
    [u'hello', None]
    >>> test_seq.recognize("hello there")
    [u'hello', u'there']
    >>> test_seq.recognize("goodbye")
    RecognitionFailure


Sequence element class
============================================================================

Basic usage::

    >>> seq = Sequence([Literal("hello"), Literal("world")])
    >>> test_seq = ElementTester(seq)
    >>> test_seq.recognize("hello world")
    [u'hello', u'world']
    >>> test_seq.recognize("hello universe")
    RecognitionFailure

Constructor arguments::

    >>> c1, c2 = Literal("hello"), Literal("world")
    >>> len(Sequence(children=[c1, c2]).children)
    2
    >>> Sequence(children=[c1, c2], name="sequence_test").name
    'sequence_test'
    >>> Sequence([c1, c2], "sequence_test").name
    'sequence_test'
    >>> Sequence("invalid_children_type")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      ...
    TypeError: children object must contain only <class 'dragonfly.grammar.elements_basic.ElementBase'> types.  (Received ('i', 'n', 'v', 'a', 'l', 'i', 'd', '_', 'c', 'h', 'i', 'l', 'd', 'r', 'e', 'n', '_', 't', 'y', 'p', 'e'))


Repetition element class
============================================================================

Basic usage::

    >>> # Repetition is given a dragonfly element, in this case a Sequence.
    >>> seq = Sequence([Literal("hello"), Literal("world")])
    >>> # Specify min and max values to allow more than one repetition.
    >>> rep = Repetition(seq, min=1, max=16, optimize=False)
    >>> test_rep = ElementTester(rep)
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world")
    [[u'hello', u'world']]
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world hello world")
    [[u'hello', u'world'], [u'hello', u'world']]
    >>> # Incomplete recognitions result in recognition failure.
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello universe")
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world hello universe")
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> # Too many recognitions also result in recognition failure.
    >>> test_rep.recognize(" ".join(["hello world"] * 17))
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> # Using the 'optimize' argument:
    rep = Repetition(seq, min=1, max=16, optimize=True)
    >>> test_rep = ElementTester(rep)
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world")
    [[u'hello', u'world']]
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world hello world")
    [[u'hello', u'world'], [u'hello', u'world']]

Exact number of repetitions::

    >>> seq = Sequence([Literal("hello"), Literal("world")])
    >>> rep = Repetition(seq, min=3, max=None, optimize=False)
    >>> test_rep = ElementTester(rep)
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world")
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world hello world")
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world hello world hello world")
    [[u'hello', u'world'], [u'hello', u'world'], [u'hello', u'world']]
    >>> test_rep.recognize("hello world hello world hello world hello world")
    RecognitionFailure

min must be less than max::

    >>> rep = Repetition(Literal("hello"), min=3, max=3, optimize=False)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      ...
    AssertionError: min must be less than max


Modifier element class
============================================================================

Basic usage::

    >>> # Repetition is given a dragonfly element, in this case an IntegerRef.
    >>> i = IntegerRef("n", 1, 10)
    >>> # Specify min and max values to allow more than one repetition.
    >>> rep = Repetition(i, min=1, max=16, optimize=False)
    >>> # Modify the element to format the output
    >>> mod = Modifier(rep, lambda rep: ", ".join(map(str, rep)))
    >>> test_rep = ElementTester(mod)
    >>> test_rep.recognize("one two three four")
    '1, 2, 3, 4'


RuleRef element class
============================================================================

Basic usage::

    >>> # Define a simple private CompoundRule and reference it.
    >>> greet = CompoundRule(name="greet", spec="greetings", exported=False)
    >>> ref = RuleRef(rule=greet, name="greet")
    >>> test_ref = ElementTester(ref)

    u'greetings'
    >>> test_ref.recognize("hello")
    RecognitionFailure

    >>> empty = Empty()
    >>> test_empty = ElementTester(empty)
    >>> test_empty.recognize("hello")
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> empty_seq = Sequence([Literal("hello"), Empty(),
    ...                       Literal("goodbye")])
    >>> test_empty = ElementTester(empty_seq)
    >>> test_empty.recognize("hello goodbye")
    [u'hello', True, u'goodbye']
    >>> test_empty.recognize("hello empty goodbye")
    RecognitionFailure

    >>> test_impossible = ElementTester(impossible)
    >>> test_impossible.recognize("hello")
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> test_impossible.recognize("")
    RecognitionFailure
    >>> impossible_seq = Sequence([Literal("hello"), Impossible(),
    ...                       Literal("goodbye")])
