xotl.tools.validators.identifiers – Simple identifiers validators

Regular expressions and validation functions for several identifiers.

xotl.tools.validators.identifiers.is_valid_identifier(name)

Returns True if name a valid Python identifier.

If name is not a string, return False. This is roughly:

isinstance(name, str) and name.isidentifier()

xotl.tools.validators.identifiers.is_valid_full_identifier(name)

Returns True if name is a valid dotted Python identifier.

See is_valid_identifier() for what “validity” means.

xotl.tools.validators.identifiers.is_valid_public_identifier(name)

Returns True if name is a valid Python identifier that is deemed public.

Convention says that any name starting with a “_” is not public.
