<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
<p>
The <code>Amount</code> and <code>SignedAmount</code> handle Taler <i>amounts</i>,
objects that combine a <code>CURRENCY</code> (e.g., "KUDOS")
with a <code>VALUE</code> and <code>FRACTION</code> (both integers).
An amount is written as follows:
</p>
<pre class="example">
CURRENCY:VALUE.FRACTION
</pre>
<p>
Note the <code>:</code> (colon) and <code>.</code> (period).
This is also known as the <code>CUR:X.Y</code> format.
</p>
<p>
The maximum <code>VALUE</code> is 2<sup>52</sup> (i.e., 4503599627370496).
The <code>FRACTION</code> can be at most 8 digits (i.e., smallest non-zero
<code>FRACTION</code> of <code>1</code> represents the number 0.00000001, and the largest
<code>FRACTION</code> of 99999999 represents the number 0.99999999).
If an amount is specified that exceeds these limits,
the constructor throws an <code>AmountOverflowError</code> exception.
</p>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-orgc5c5b05" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="orgc5c5b05"><span class="section-number-3">2.1</span> class <code>Amount</code></h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-1">
<p>
The constructor takes three args: <code>currency</code>, <code>value</code>, <code>fraction</code>.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> from taler.util.amount import Amount, SignedAmount
# KUDOS 10.50
>>> amt = Amount ("KUDOS", 10, 50000000)
>>> amt
Amount(currency='KUDOS', value=10, fraction=50000000)
</pre>
<p>
<code>Amount</code> has three getter properties: <code>currency</code>, <code>value</code>, <code>fraction</code>.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> amt.value, amt.fraction
(10, 50000000)
</pre>
<p>
You can use classmethod <code>parse</code> to read a string as an <code>Amount</code> object.
This function can throw <code>AmountFormatError</code> if the string is malformed,
and <code>AmountOverflowError</code> if the fraction portion is too long.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> Amount.parse ("KUDOS:10.12345678")
Amount(currency='KUDOS', value=10, fraction=12345678)
</pre>
<p>
An <code>Amount</code> object supports addition and subtraction.
The <code>currency</code> property must match, otherwise the operation throws
a <code>CurrencyMismatchError</code> exception.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> amt + amt
Amount(currency='KUDOS', value=21, fraction=0)
>>> another = Amount ("KUDOS", 5, 42)
>>> amt - another
Amount(currency='KUDOS', value=5, fraction=49999958)
</pre>
<p>
Note, however, that a subtraction that results in a numerically negative
<code>value</code> causes the operation to throw an <code>AmountOverflowError</code> exception.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> another - amt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../amount.py", line 124, in __sub__
raise AmountOverflowError()
taler.util.amount.AmountOverflowError
</pre>
<p>
The method <code>stringify</code> (which is also used in the <code>__str__</code> definition)
takes optional keyword <code>pretty</code> (default <code>False</code>) that changes the
output.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> str (amt)
'KUDOS:10.5'
>>> amt.stringify()
'KUDOS:10.5'
>>> amt.stringify(pretty=True)
'10.5 KUDOS'
>>> (amt + amt).stringify(pretty=True)
'21 KUDOS'
</pre>
<p>
The method <code>is_zero</code> returns <code>True</code> if the <code>Amount</code> object has a zero
<code>value</code> component and a zero <code>fraction</code> component.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> amt.is_zero ()
False
</pre>
<p>
An <code>Amount</code> object can be numerically compared with another <code>Amount</code>
for both equality and inequality.
Comparison can throw a <code>CurrencyMismatchError</code> exception
if both currencies are not the same.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> amt > another
True
>>> amt == another
False
</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org75fe6af" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org75fe6af"><span class="section-number-3">2.2</span> class <code>SignedAmount</code></h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-2">
<p>
A <code>SignedAmount</code> object is an <i>amount with a sign</i>.
It has properties <code>is_positive</code> and <code>amount</code>.
You can derive a <code>SignedAmount</code> from a simple <code>Amount</code> with the
<code>as_signed</code> method.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> p = amt.as_signed ()
>>> p.is_positive
True
>>> p.amount
Amount(currency='KUDOS', value=10, fraction=50000000)
</pre>
<p>
A <code>SignedAmount</code> object supports addition, subtraction, and comparison
(equality and inequality) with another <code>SignedAmount</code> object.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> q = another.as_signed ()
>>> (p - q).is_positive
True
>>> (q - p).is_positive
False
</pre>
<p>
The <code>stringify</code> method, like that for <code>Amount</code>, takes optional keyword
<code>pretty</code>. It always prefixes the output with either <code>+</code> or <code>-</code>.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> (p - q).stringify (pretty=False)
'+KUDOS:5.49999958'
>>> (q - p).stringify (pretty=True)
'-5.49999958 KUDOS'
</pre>
<p>
The classmethod <code>parse</code> recognizes a leading <code>+</code> or <code>-</code>, and
additionally accepts a plain <code>CURRENCY:VALUE.FRACTION</code> form as a
positive <code>SignedAmount</code>.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> SignedAmount.parse ("-KUDOS:2.34")
SignedAmount(is_positive=False, amount=Amount(currency='KUDOS', value=2, fraction=34000000))
</pre>
<p>
Lastly, a <code>SignedAmount</code> object can flip its sign using a unary minus.
</p>
<pre class="example">
>>> n = q - p
>>> n.is_positive
False
>>> (- n).is_positive
True
</pre>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-orgc5d0f9f" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="orgc5d0f9f"><span class="section-number-2">3</span> classes <code>LogDefinition</code>, <code>GnunetLoglevel</code></h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-3">
<p>
These two classes are deliberately undocumented (until further notice).
They exist primarily to support the <code>GnunetLogger</code> class.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-orga09fc8a" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="orga09fc8a"><span class="section-number-2">4</span> class <code>GnunetLogger</code></h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-4">
<p>
The <code>GnunetLogger</code> class wraps the native <code>logging</code> module and provides
two primary entry points: the constructor and the <code>log</code> method.
It supports the usual list of <i>log levels</i>:
<code>ERROR</code>, <code>WARNING</code>, <code>INFO</code>, <code>DEBUG</code>.
</p>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org39a01ca" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org39a01ca"><span class="section-number-3">4.1</span> log definition, environment variables</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-1">
<p>
What to log is controlled by a <i>log definition</i>, lists of
which are taken from one or both environment variables when
the <code>GnunetLogger</code> object is initialized:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>GNUNET_FORCE_LOG</code></li>
<li><code>GNUNET_LOG</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
A log definition looks like:
</p>
<pre class="example">
[component];[file];[function];[from_line[-to_line]];loglevel
</pre>
<p>
The <code>component</code>, <code>file</code>, <code>function</code>, and line information portions
are optional; the <code>loglevel</code> is required.
No portion may contain the <code>;</code> (semicolon) or <code>/</code> (slash) character.
When a portion is omitted, it defaults to <i>all</i> of that item.
The line information can be a single line number or a range,
written in <code>LOW-HIGH</code> format – note <code>-</code> (hyphen).
For example, a minimal log definition could be:
</p>
<pre class="example">
;;;;ERROR
</pre>
<p>
This example definition matches all components, all files, all
functions, and all lines, but only the <code>ERROR</code> log level.
</p>
<p>
Multiple log definitions are specified by separating them with a <code>/</code>
(slash) character.
</p>
<pre class="example">
network;;;ERROR/database;;;DEBUG
</pre>
<p>
The difference between <code>GNUNET_FORCE_LOG</code> and <code>GNUNET_LOG</code> is that the
former takes priority over the latter, in case of conflict.
Also, logging done via <code>GNUNET_FORCE_LOG</code> respects environment
variable <code>GNUNET_FORCE_LOGFILE</code>.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org2f6906d" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org2f6906d"><span class="section-number-3">4.2</span> environment variable <code>GNUNET_FORCE_LOGFILE</code></h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-2">
<p>
The filename specified by <code>GNUNET_FORCE_LOGFILE</code> can
have special character sequences replaced (like a template):
</p>
<dl class="org-dl">
<dt><code>{}</code></dt><dd>component</dd>
<dt><code>[]</code></dt><dd>process id</dd>
<dt><code>%Y</code></dt><dd>numeric year</dd>
<dt><code>%m</code></dt><dd>numeric month</dd>
<dt><code>%d</code></dt><dd>numeric day</dd>
</dl>
<p>
For example, if <code>GNUNET_FORCE_LOGFILE</code> has value:
</p>
<pre class="example">
/var/log/[].{}.%Y-%m-%d.error.log
</pre>
<p>
then the expansion might be:

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-5">

The <code>PaytoParse</code> class has only one entry point, its constructor.
The argument is <code>payto_uri</code>, a string in the <i>payto URI scheme</i>
that has exactly two components in the <i>upath</i> portion.
See RFC 8905 (<a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8905">https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8905</a>) for more info.
If parsing fails, the constructor throws a <code>PaytoFormatError</code> exception.

On successful parse, the object has the following properties:
</p>
<dl class="org-dl">
