Helper functions --- :mod:`MDAnalysis.lib.util`
====================================================

Small helper functions that don't fit anywhere else.

.. versionchanged:: 0.11.0
   Moved mathematical functions into lib.mdamath

.. versionchanged::2.0.0
   The following aliases, that existed for compatibility with python versions
   older than 3.6, were removed: `callable` for the built-in of the same name,
   `PathLike` for :class:`os.PathLike`, and `bz_open` for :func:`bz2.open`.

Streams
-------

Many of the readers are not restricted to just reading files. They can
also use gzip-compressed or bzip2-compressed files (through the
internal use of :func:`openany`). It is also possible to provide more
general streams as inputs, such as a :class:`io.StringIO`
instances (essentially, a memory buffer) by wrapping these instances
into a :class:`NamedStream`. This :class:`NamedStream` can then be
used in place of an ordinary file name (typically, with a
class:`~MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe` but it is also possible to
*write* to such a stream using :func:`MDAnalysis.Writer`).

.. rubric: Examples

In the following example, we use a PDB stored as a string ``pdb_s``::

   import MDAnalysis
   from MDAnalysis.lib.util import NamedStream
   from io import StringIO

   pdb_s = "TITLE     Lonely Ion\\nATOM      1  NA  NA+     1      81.260  64.982  10.926  1.00  0.00\\n"
   u = MDAnalysis.Universe(NamedStream(StringIO(pdb_s), "ion.pdb"))
   print(u)
   #  <Universe with 1 atoms>
   print(u.atoms.positions)
   # [[ 81.26000214  64.98200226  10.92599964]]

It is important to provide a proper pseudo file name with the correct extension
(".pdb") to :class:`NamedStream` because the file type recognition uses the
extension of the file name to determine the file format or alternatively
provide the ``format="pdb"`` keyword argument to the
:class:`~MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe`.

The use of streams becomes more interesting when MDAnalysis is used as glue
between different analysis packages and when one can arrange things so that
intermediate frames (typically in the PDB format) are not written to disk but
remain in memory via e.g. :class:`io.StringIO` buffers.


.. The following does *not* work because most readers need to
.. reopen files, which is not possible with http streams. Might
.. need to implement a buffer.
..
.. Read a test LAMMPS data file from the MDAnalysis repository::
..
..   import MDAnalysis
..   from MDAnalysis.lib.util import NamedStream
..   import urllib2
..   URI = "https://mdanalysis.googlecode.com/git-history/develop/testsuite/MDAnalysisTests/data/mini.data"
..   urldata = NamedStream(urllib2.urlopen(URI), "mini.data")
..   u = MDAnalysis.Universe(urldata)

.. Note::  A remote connection created by :func:`urllib2.urlopen` is not seekable
           and therefore will often not work as an input. But try it...

.. [#NamedStreamClose] The reason why :meth:`NamedStream.close` does
   not close a stream by default (but just rewinds it to the
   beginning) is so that one can use the class :class:`NamedStream` as
   a drop-in replacement for file names, which are often re-opened
   (e.g. when the same file is used as a topology and coordinate file
   or when repeatedly iterating through a trajectory in some
   implementations). The ``close=True`` keyword can be supplied in
   order to make :meth:`NamedStream.close` actually close the
   underlying stream and ``NamedStream.close(force=True)`` will also
   close it.

    By wrapping a stream `stream` in this class, it can be passed to
    code that uses inspection of the filename to make decisions. For
    instance. :func:`os.path.split` will work correctly on a
    :class:`NamedStream`.

    The class can be used as a context manager.

    :class:`NamedStream` is derived from :class:`io.IOBase` (to indicate that
    it is a stream). Many operations that normally expect a string will also
    work with a :class:`NamedStream`; for instance, most of the functions in
    :mod:`os.path` will work with the exception of :func:`os.path.expandvars`
    and :func:`os.path.expanduser`, which will return the :class:`NamedStream`
    itself instead of a string if no substitutions were made.

    Example
    -------
    Wrap a :class:`io.StringIO` instance to write to::

      from io import StringIO
      import os.path
      stream = StringIO()
      f = NamedStream(stream, "output.pdb")
      print(os.path.splitext(f))

    Wrap a :class:`file` instance to read from::

      stream = open("input.pdb")
      f = NamedStream(stream, stream.name)

    Use as a context manager (closes stream automatically when the
    :keyword:`with` block is left)::

      with NamedStream(open("input.pdb"), "input.pdb") as f:
         # use f
         print f.closed  # --> False
         # ...
      print f.closed     # --> True

    Note
    ----
    This class uses its own :meth:`__getitem__` method so if `stream`
    implements :meth:`stream.__getitem__` then that will be masked and
    this class should not be used.

def check_coords(*coord_names, **options):
    """Decorator for automated coordinate array checking.

    This decorator is intended for use especially in
    :mod:`MDAnalysis.lib.distances`.
    It takes an arbitrary number of positional arguments which must correspond
    to names of positional arguments of the decorated function.
    It then checks if the corresponding values are valid coordinate arrays or
    an :class:`~MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup`.
    If the input is an array and all these arrays are single coordinates
    (i.e., their shape is ``(3,)``), the decorated function can optionally
    return a single coordinate (or angle) instead of an array of coordinates
    (or angles). This can be used to enable computations of single observables
    using functions originally designed to accept only 2-d coordinate arrays.

    If the input is an :class:`~MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup` it is
    converted into its corresponding position array via a call to
    `AtomGroup.positions`.

    The checks performed on each individual coordinate array are:

    * Check that coordinate arrays are of type :class:`numpy.ndarray`.
    * Check that coordinate arrays have a shape of ``(n, 3)`` (or ``(3,)`` if
      single coordinates are allowed; see keyword argument `allow_single`).
    * Automatic dtype conversion to ``numpy.float32``.
    * Optional replacement by a copy; see keyword argument `enforce_copy` .
    * If coordinate arrays aren't C-contiguous, they will be automatically
      replaced by a C-contiguous copy.
    * Optional check for equal length of all coordinate arrays; see optional
      keyword argument `check_lengths_match`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    *coord_names : tuple
        Arbitrary number of strings corresponding to names of positional
        arguments of the decorated function.
    **options : dict, optional
        * **enforce_copy** (:class:`bool`, optional) -- Enforce working on a
          copy of the coordinate arrays. This is useful to ensure that the input
          arrays are left unchanged. Default: ``True``
        * **enforce_dtype** (:class:`bool`, optional) -- Enforce a conversion
          to float32.  Default: ``True``
        * **allow_single** (:class:`bool`, optional) -- Allow the input
          coordinate array to be a single coordinate with shape ``(3,)``.
        * **convert_single** (:class:`bool`, optional) -- If ``True``, single
          coordinate arrays will be converted to have a shape of ``(1, 3)``.
          Only has an effect if `allow_single` is ``True``. Default: ``True``
        * **reduce_result_if_single** (:class:`bool`, optional) -- If ``True``
          and *all* input coordinates are single, a decorated function ``func``
          will return ``func()[0]`` instead of ``func()``. Only has an effect if
          `allow_single` is ``True``. Default: ``True``
        * **check_lengths_match** (:class:`bool`, optional) -- If ``True``, a
          :class:`ValueError` is raised if not all coordinate arrays contain the
          same number of coordinates. Default: ``True``
        * **allow_atomgroup** (:class:`bool`, optional) -- If ``False``, a
          :class:`TypeError` is raised if an :class:`AtomGroup` is supplied
          Default: ``False``

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If the decorator is used without positional arguments (for development
        purposes only).

        If any of the positional arguments supplied to the decorator doesn't
        correspond to a name of any of the decorated function's positional
        arguments.

        If any of the coordinate arrays has a wrong shape.
    TypeError
        If any of the coordinate arrays is not a :class:`numpy.ndarray` or an
        :class:`~MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup`.

        If the dtype of any of the coordinate arrays is not convertible to
          ``numpy.float32``.

def deprecate(*args, **kwargs):
    r"""Issues a DeprecationWarning, adds warning to `old_name`'s
    docstring, rebinds ``old_name.__name__`` and returns the new
    function object.

    This function may also be used as a decorator.

    It adds a restructured text ``.. deprecated:: release`` block with
    the sphinx deprecated role to the end of the docs. The `message`
    is added under the deprecation block and contains the `release` in
    which the function was deprecated.

    Parameters
    ----------
    func : function
        The function to be deprecated.
    old_name : str, optional
        The name of the function to be deprecated. Default is None, in
        which case the name of `func` is used.
    new_name : str, optional
        The new name for the function. Default is None, in which case the
        deprecation message is that `old_name` is deprecated. If given, the
        deprecation message is that `old_name` is deprecated and `new_name`
        should be used instead.
    release : str
        Release in which the function was deprecated. This is given as
        a keyword argument for technical reasons but is required; a
        :exc:`ValueError` is raised if it is missing.
    remove : str, optional
        Release for which removal of the feature is planned.
    message : str, optional
        Additional explanation of the deprecation.  Displayed in the
        docstring after the warning.

    Returns
    -------
    old_func : function
        The deprecated function.

    Examples
    --------
    When :func:`deprecate` is used as a function as in the following
    example,

    .. code-block:: python

       oldfunc = deprecate(func, release="0.19.0", remove="1.0",
                           message="Do it yourself instead.")

    then ``oldfunc`` will return a value after printing
    :exc:`DeprecationWarning`; ``func`` is still available as it was
    before.

    When used as a decorator, ``func`` will be changed and issue the
    warning and contain the deprecation note in the do string.

    .. code-block:: python

       @deprecate(release="0.19.0", remove="1.0",
                  message="Do it yourself instead.")
       def func():
           \"\"\"Just pass\"\"\"
           pass

    The resulting doc string (``help(func)``) will look like:

    .. code-block:: reST

       `func` is deprecated!

       Just pass.

       .. deprecated:: 0.19.0
          Do it yourself instead.
          `func` will be removed in 1.0.

    (It is possible but confusing to change the name of ``func`` with
    the decorator so it is not recommended to use the `new_func`
    keyword argument with the decorator.)
