confidant.utils.misc module

confidant.utils.misc.dict_deep_update(a, b)

Deep merge in place of two dicts. For all keys in b, override matching keys in a. If both a and b have a dict at a given key, recursively update a.

Parameters
  • a (dict) – Left hand side dict to update in place

  • b (dict) – Right hand side with values to pull in

confidant.utils.misc.get_boolean(val, default=False)

Given a value, check if if corresponds to True or False. Python’s bool() does not behave as expected for strings so we have a helper function here

confidant.utils.misc.load_module(module_path)

Load’s a python module.

ex: module_path = “confidant.authnz.rbac:no_acl”

Will load the module confidant.authnz.rbac and return the function no_acl

confidant.utils.misc.utcnow()

Returns the current time with tzinfo=’UTC’. datetime.utcnow() currently does not populate tzinfo
