birdy.utils module¶
- birdy.utils._encode(content, mimetype, encoding)[source]¶
Encode in base64 if mimetype is a binary type.
- birdy.utils.delist(data)[source]¶
If data is a sequence with a single element, returns this element, otherwise return the sequence.
- birdy.utils.embed(value, mimetype=None, encoding=None)[source]¶
Return the content of the file, either as a string or base64 bytes.
- Returns:
encoded content string and actual encoding
- Return type:
str
- birdy.utils.guess_type(url, supported)[source]¶
Guess the mime type of the file link.
If the mimetype is not recognized, default to the first supported value.
- Parameters:
url (str, Path) – Path or URL to file.
supported (list, tuple) – Supported mimetypes.
- Return type:
mimetype, encoding
- birdy.utils.is_opendap_url(url)[source]¶
Check if a provided url is an OpenDAP url.
The DAP Standard specifies that a specific tag must be included in the Content-Description header of every request. This tag is one of: “dods-dds” | “dods-das” | “dods-data” | “dods-error”
So we can check if the header starts with dods.
Note that this might not work with every DAP server implementation.
