Python library for managing `MOS`_ running orders. Pronounced *mos-ro-manager*.

The library provides functionality for classifying MOS file types, processing and
inspecting MOS message files, as well as merging MOS files into a running order,
and providing a "completed" programme including all additions and changes made
between the first message (``roCreate``) and the last (``roDelete``).

This can be used as a library, using the utilities provided in the *mosromgr*
module, and the command line command ``mosromgr`` can be used to process either
a directory of MOS files, or a folder within an S3 bucket.

This library was developed by the `BBC News Labs`_ team.

Usage
=====

Command line
------------

Inspect a MOS file:

.. code-block:: console

    $ mosromgr inspect -f 53783448-roStoryReplace.mos.xml
    53783448-roStoryReplace.mos.xml: StoryReplace
    REPLACE STORY: OM_5.765650;OM_5.765654,5.765650.7 WITH:
        STORY: OM_5.765650;OM_5.765654,5.765650.7

Merge all MOS files in directory `newsnight` and save in ``FINAL.xml``:

.. code-block:: console

    $ mosromgr merge -f newsnight/* -o FINAL.xml

Library
-------

Load a ``roCreate`` file and view its stories::

    from mosromgr.mostypes import RunningOrder

    ro = RunningOrder.from_file('roCreate.mos.xml')

    for story in ro.stories:
        print(story.slug)

Merge a single ``roStorySend`` into a ``roCreate`` and output the file to a new
file::

    from mosromgr.mostypes import RunningOrder, StorySend

    ro = RunningOrder.from_file('roCreate.mos.xml')
    ss = StorySend.from_file('roStorySend.mos.xml')

    ro += ss

    with open('final.mos.xml', 'w') as f:
        f.write(str(ro))

If you're automating this process you won't necessarily know which MOS Type to
use, so you can construct an object from the base class ``MosFile`` which will
automatically classify your file::

    >>> from mosromgr.mostypes import MosFile
    >>> mf1 = MosFile.from_file('roCreate.mos.xml')
    >>> mf1
    <RunningOrder 1000>
    >>> mf2 = MosFile.from_file('roStorySend.mos.xml')
    >>> mf2
    <StorySend 1001>

Using ``MosCollection`` will sort and classify multiple MOS types of all given
files, allowing you to process a collection of MOS files within a complete or
partially complete programme::

    from mosromgr.moscollection import MosCollection

    mos_files = ['roCreate.mos.xml', 'roStorySend.mos.xml', 'roDelete.mos.xml']
    mc = MosCollection.from_files(mos_files)

    mc.merge()
    with open('final.mos.xml', 'w') as f:
        f.write(str(mc))
