• class AliasCommands

  Object to store and manipulate alias commands.

  Interact with an AliasCommands object like you would with a dictionary:

  >>> ac = AliasCommands()
  >>> ac[".goodbye"] = ".msg $aircraft Shalom!"  # Add/set an alias
  >>> ac[".goodbye"]  # View an alias
  '.msg $aircraft Shalom!'
  >>> del ac["goodbye"]  # Remove an alias

  • AliasCommands.items(), AliasCommands.keys(), AliasCommands.values()

    Does the same thing as a dictionary's items(), keys(), and values() methods.

  • AliasCommands.dumps(client)

    Outputs a string representation of AliasCommands. client must be either "vrc", "vstars", or "veram".

  • AliasCommands.dump(file_obj, client)

    Calls AliasCommands.dumps(client) and writes the output to file_obj (must be an open file object).

  • AliasCommands._dumpxml()

    Returns the aliases in the vSTARS/vERAM format as an xml.etree.ElementTree.Element python object.

• loads(text)

  AliasCommands factory function. Gets alias commands from the string text (if in VRC/vSTARS/vERAM format).

• load(file_obj)

  AliasCommands factory function. Calls loads(file_obj.read()) and returns the returned AliasCommands object.
