Options.

Functions

`get_options`([priority_options]) | Return (a copy of) the merged option values for FFCX.

class ffcx.options.Path(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `PurePath`

  PurePath subclass that can make system calls.

  Path represents a filesystem path but unlike PurePath, also offers methods to do system calls on path objects. Depending on your system, instantiating a Path will return either a PosixPath or a WindowsPath object. You can also instantiate a PosixPath or WindowsPath directly, but cannot instantiate a WindowsPath on a POSIX system or vice versa.

  Construct a PurePath from one or several strings and or existing PurePath objects. The strings and path objects are combined so as to yield a canonicalized path, which is incorporated into the new PurePath object.

  absolute()

    Return an absolute version of this path No normalization or symlink resolution is performed.

    Use resolve() to resolve symlinks and remove ‘..’ segments.

  as_uri()

    Return the path as a URI.

  chmod(mode, *, follow_symlinks=True)

    Change the permissions of the path, like os.chmod().

  copy(target, **kwargs)

    Recursively copy this file or directory tree to the given destination.

  copy_into(target_dir, **kwargs)

    Copy this file or directory tree into the given existing directory.

  classmethod cwd()

    Return a new path pointing to the current working directory.

  exists(*, follow_symlinks=True)

    Whether this path exists.

    This method normally follows symlinks; to check whether a symlink exists, add the argument follow_symlinks=False.

  expanduser()

    Return a new path with expanded ~ and ~user constructs (as returned by os.path.expanduser)

  classmethod from_uri(uri)

    Return a new path from the given ‘file’ URI.

  glob(pattern, *, case_sensitive=None, recurse_symlinks=False)

    Iterate over this subtree and yield all existing files (of any kind, including directories) matching the given relative pattern.

  group(*, follow_symlinks=True)

    Return the group name of the file gid.

  hardlink_to(target)

    Make this path a hard link pointing to the same file as target.

    Note the order of arguments (self, target) is the reverse of os.link’s.

  classmethod home()

    Return a new path pointing to expanduser(‘~’).

  property info

    A PathInfo object that exposes the file type and other file attributes of this path.

  is_block_device()

    Whether this path is a block device.

  is_char_device()

    Whether this path is a character device.

  is_dir(*, follow_symlinks=True)

    Whether this path is a directory.

  is_fifo()

    Whether this path is a FIFO.

  is_file(*, follow_symlinks=True)

    Whether this path is a regular file (also True for symlinks pointing to regular files).

  is_junction()

    Whether this path is a junction.

  is_mount()

    Check if this path is a mount point

  is_socket()

    Whether this path is a socket.

  is_symlink()

    Whether this path is a symbolic link.

  iterdir()

    Yield path objects of the directory contents.

    The children are yielded in arbitrary order, and the special entries ‘.’ and ‘..’ are not included.

  lchmod(mode)

    Like chmod(), except if the path points to a symlink, the symlink’s permissions are changed, rather than its target’s.

  lstat()

    Like stat(), except if the path points to a symlink, the symlink’s status information is returned, rather than its target’s.

  mkdir(mode=511, parents=False, exist_ok=False)

    Create a new directory at this given path.

  move(target)

    Recursively move this file or directory tree to the given destination.

  move_into(target_dir)

    Move this file or directory tree into the given existing directory.

  open(mode='r', buffering=-1, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None)

    Open the file pointed to by this path and return a file object, as the built-in open() function does.

  owner(*, follow_symlinks=True)

    Return the login name of the file owner.

  read_bytes()

    Open the file in bytes mode, read it, and close the file.

  read_text(encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None)

    Open the file in text mode, read it, and close the file.

  readlink()

    Return the path to which the symbolic link points.

  rename(target)

    Rename this path to the target path.

    The target path may be absolute or relative. Relative paths are interpreted relative to the current working directory, not the directory of the Path object.

    Returns the new Path instance pointing to the target path.

  replace(target)

    Rename this path to the target path, overwriting if that path exists.

    The target path may be absolute or relative. Relative paths are interpreted relative to the current working directory, not the directory of the Path object.

    Returns the new Path instance pointing to the target path.

  resolve(strict=False)

    Make the path absolute, resolving all symlinks on the way and also normalizing it.

  rglob(pattern, *, case_sensitive=None, recurse_symlinks=False)

    Recursively yield all existing files (of any kind, including directories) matching the given relative pattern, anywhere in this subtree.

  rmdir()

    Remove this directory. The directory must be empty.

  samefile(other_path)

    Return whether other_path is the same or not as this file (as returned by os.path.samefile()).

  stat(*, follow_symlinks=True)

    Return the result of the stat() system call on this path, like os.stat() does.

  symlink_to(target, target_is_directory=False)

    Make this path a symlink pointing to the target path. Note the order of arguments (link, target) is the reverse of os.symlink.

  touch(mode=438, exist_ok=True)

    Create this file with the given access mode, if it doesn’t exist.

  unlink(missing_ok=False)

    Remove this file or link. If the path is a directory, use rmdir() instead.

  walk(top_down=True, on_error=None, follow_symlinks=False)

    Walk the directory tree from this directory, similar to os.walk().

  write_bytes(data)

    Open the file in bytes mode, write to it, and close the file.

  write_text(data, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None)

    Open the file in text mode, write to it, and close the file.

ffcx.options.get_options(priority_options: dict[str, type[Any] | dtype[Any] | _SupportsDType[dtype[Any]] | tuple[Any, Any] | list[Any] | _DTypeDict | str | None | int | float] | None = None) → dict[str, int | float | type[Any] | dtype[Any] | _SupportsDType[dtype[Any]] | tuple[Any, Any] | list[Any] | _DTypeDict | str | None]

  Return (a copy of) the merged option values for FFCX.

  Parameters:

    priority_options – take priority over all other option values (see notes)

  Returns:

    merged option values

  Note

  This function sets the log level from the merged option values prior to returning.

  The ffcx_options.json files are cached on the first call. Subsequent calls to this function use this cache.

  Priority ordering of options from highest to lowest is:

  - priority_options (API and command line options)

  - $PWD/ffcx_options.json (local options)

  - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ffcx/ffcx_options.json (user options)

  - FFCX_DEFAULT_OPTIONS in ffcx.options

  XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ~/.config/ if the environment variable is not set.

  Example ffcx_options.json file:

  > { “epsilon”: 1e-7 }
