7"""Helper functions useful when writing scripts that integrate with GN.
8
9The main functions are ToGNString and FromGNString which convert between
10serialized GN variables and Python variables.
11
12To use in a random python file in the build:
13
14  import os
15  import sys
16
17  sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
18                               os.pardir, os.pardir, "build"))
19  import gn_helpers
20
21Where the sequence of parameters to join is the relative path from your source
22file to the build directory.

74
75    If your GN script did:
76      something = [ "file1", "file2" ]
77      args = [ "--values=$something" ]
78    The command line would look something like:
79      --values="[ \"file1\", \"file2\" ]"
80    Which when interpreted as a command line gives the value:
81      [ "file1", "file2" ]
82
83    You can parse this into a Python list using GN rules with:
84      input_values = FromGNValues(options.values)
85    Although the Python 'ast' module will parse many forms of such input, it
86    will not handle GN escaping properly, nor GN booleans. You should use this
87    function instead.
88
89
90    A NOTE ON STRING HANDLING:
91
92    If you just pass a string on the command line to your Python script, or use
93    string interpolation on a string variable, the strings will not be quoted:
94      str = "asdf"
95      args = [ str, "--value=$str" ]
96    Will yield the command line:
97      asdf --value=asdf
98    The unquoted asdf string will not be valid input to this function, which
99    accepts only quoted strings like GN scripts. In such cases, you can just
100    use the Python string literal directly.
101
102    The main use cases for this is for other types, in particular lists. When
103    using string interpolation on a list (as in the top example) the embedded
104    strings will be quoted and escaped according to GN rules so the list can be
105    re-parsed to get the same result.
