Stdchecker
Stdchecker is a Python library for checking the latest revisions of standard methods published by standard bodies. Supported standard bodies are:
- ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials
- IEC - The International Electrotechnical Commission
- IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
- TSE - Turkish Standards Institution (Türk Standardları Enstitüsü)
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
Installation
Use the package manager pip to install stdchecker:
pip install stdcheckeror directly from the source code:
git clone https://github.com/emreture/stdchecker.git
cd stdchecker
python setup.py installUsage
Fetching standard methods data:
import stdchecker
std_list = ['D92', 'D93']
for i in stdchecker.fetch_astm(std_list):
print(i)Output:
{'query': 'D92',
'error': None,
'no': 'ASTM D92',
'rev': '18',
'desc': 'Standard Test Method for Flash and Fire Points by Cleveland Open Cup Tester',
'body': 'astm',
'url': 'https://www.astm.org/Standards/D92.htm'}
{'query': 'D93',
'error': None,
'no': 'ASTM D93',
'rev': '20',
'desc': 'Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester',
'body': 'astm',
'url': 'https://www.astm.org/Standards/D93.htm'}Checking if existing standard methods are up-to-date:
import stdchecker
std_list = ['D92', 'D93']
actual_std_list = [
{'no': 'ASTM D92', 'rev': '18'},
{'no': 'ASTM D93', 'rev': '18'}
]
fetch_generator = stdchecker.fetch_astm(std_list)
for i in stdchecker.check_astm(fetch_generator, actual_std_list):
print(i)Output:
{'query': 'D92',
'error': None,
'no': 'ASTM D92',
'rev': '18',
'desc': 'Standard Test Method for Flash and Fire Points by Cleveland Open Cup Tester',
'body': 'astm',
'url': 'https://www.astm.org/Standards/D92.htm',
'check': True,
'actual': '18'}
{'query': 'D93',
'error': None,
'no': 'ASTM D93',
'rev': '20',
'desc': 'Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester',
'body': 'astm',
'url': 'https://www.astm.org/Standards/D93.htm',
'check': False,
'actual': '18'}If an id is provided (for example existing standard methods are stored in a database), the output will also include the id key and its value:
import stdchecker
std_list = ['D92', 'D93']
actual_std_list = [
{'id': 1, 'no': 'ASTM D92', 'rev': '18'},
{'id': 2, 'no': 'ASTM D93', 'rev': '18'}
]
fetch_generator = stdchecker.fetch_astm(std_list)
for i in stdchecker.check_astm(fetch_generator, actual_std_list, id_from_actual=True):
print(i)Output:
{'query': 'D92',
'error': None,
'no': 'ASTM D92',
'rev': '18',
'desc': 'Standard Test Method for Flash and Fire Points by Cleveland Open Cup Tester',
'body': 'astm',
'url': 'https://www.astm.org/Standards/D92.htm',
'check': True,
'actual': '18',
'id': 1}
{'query': 'D93',
'error': None,
'no': 'ASTM D93',
'rev': '20',
'desc': 'Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester',
'body': 'astm',
'url': 'https://www.astm.org/Standards/D93.htm',
'check': False,
'actual': '18',
'id': 2}For more documentation, refer to the docstrings in the source files.
