Returns:

None

`bokeh.util.callback_manager`¶

Provides PropertyCallbackManager and EventCallbackManager mixin classes for adding on_change and on_event callback interfaces to classes.

class EventCallbackManager(*args, **kw)[source]¶: A mixin class to provide an interface for registering and triggering event callbacks on the Python side.

class PropertyCallbackManager(*args, **kw)[source]¶

A mixin class to provide an interface for registering and triggering callbacks.

Returns:	None

`bokeh.util.compiler`¶

Provide functions and classes to help with various JS and CSS compilation.

exception CompilationError(error)[source]¶: A RuntimeError subclass for reporting JS compilation errors.

class AttrDict[source]¶: Provide a dict subclass that supports access by named attributes.

bundle_models(models)[source]¶: Create a bundle of models.

Parameters:	mod_name (str) – name of the required module to try to import error_msg (str) – error message to raise when the module is missing
Returns:	imported module
Raises:	`RuntimeError`

`bokeh.util.deprecation`¶

`bokeh.util.future`¶

Utilities for Py2/Py3 interop.

with_metaclass(meta, *bases)[source]¶

Add metaclasses in both Python 2 and Python 3.

Function from jinja2/_compat.py. License: BSD.

Use it like this:

class BaseForm(object):
    pass

class FormType(type):
    pass

class Form(with_metaclass(FormType, BaseForm)):
    pass

This requires a bit of explanation: the basic idea is to make a dummy metaclass for one level of class instantiation that replaces itself with the actual metaclass. Because of internal type checks we also need to make sure that we downgrade the custom metaclass for one level to something closer to type (that’s why __call__ and __init__ comes back from type etc.).

This has the advantage over six.with_metaclass of not introducing dummy classes into the final MRO.

`bokeh.util.logconfig`¶

Configure the logging system for Bokeh.

By default, logging is not configured, to allow users of Bokeh to have full control over logging policy. However, it is useful to be able to enable logging arbitrarily during when developing Bokeh. This can be accomplished by setting the environment variable BOKEH_PY_LOG_LEVEL. Valid values are, in order of increasing severity:

debug

info

warn

error

fatal

none

The default logging level is none.

basicConfig(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶: A logging.basicConfig() wrapper that also undoes the default Bokeh-specific configuration.

`bokeh.util.options`¶

Utilities for specifying, validating, and documenting configuration options.

class Options(kw=None)[source]¶

Leverage the Bokeh properties type system for specifying and validating configuration options.

Subclasses of Options specify a set of configuration options using standard Bokeh properties:

class ConnectOpts(Options):

    host = String(default="127.0.0.1", help="a host value")

    port = Int(default=5590, help="a port value")

Then a ConnectOpts can be created by passing a dictionary containing keys and values corresponding to the configuration options, as well as any additional keys and values. The items corresponding to the properties on ConnectOpts will be *removed* from the dictionary. This can be useful for functions that accept their own set of config keyword arguments in addition to some set of Bokeh model properties.

`bokeh.util.paths`¶

bokehjsdir(dev=False)[source]¶: Get the location of the bokehjs source files. If dev is True, the files in bokehjs/build are preferred. Otherwise uses the files in bokeh/server/static.

serverdir()[source]¶: Get the location of the server subpackage

`bokeh.util.platform`¶

np.float64
np.uint8
np.float32
np.int32
np.int8
np.uint16
np.int16
np.uint32

array_encoding_disabled(array)[source]¶

np.float32
np.int32
np.int8
np.uint16
np.int16
np.uint32

Parameters:	array (np.ndarray) – the array to check

Parameters:	data (dict) – encoded array data to decode

Data should have the format encoded by encode_base64_dict().

Returns:	np.ndarray

encode_base64_dict(array)[source]¶

Encode a NumPy array using base64:

The encoded format is a dict with the following structure:

{
    '__ndarray__' : << base64 encoded array data >>,
    'shape'       : << array shape >>,
    'dtype'       : << dtype name >>,
}

Parameters:	array (np.ndarray) – an array to encode
Returns:	dict

encode_binary_dict(array, buffers)[source]¶

Send a numpy array as an unencoded binary buffer

The encoded format is a dict with the following structure:

{
    '__buffer__' :  << an ID to locate the buffer >>,
    'shape'      : << array shape >>,
    'dtype'      : << dtype name >>,
    'order'      : << byte order at origin (little or big)>>
}

Parameters:	array (np.ndarray) – an array to encode buffers (set) – Set to add buffers to This is an “out” parameter. The values it contains will be modified in-place.
Returns:	dict

is_datetime_type(obj)[source]¶

Whether an object is any date, datetime, or time delta type recognized by Bokeh.

Arg:: obj (object) : the object to test

Returns:	True if `obj` is a datetime type
Return type:	bool

make_id()[source]¶

Return a new unique ID for a Bokeh object.

Normally this function will return UUIDs to use for identifying Bokeh objects. This is especally important for Bokeh objects stored on a Bokeh server. However, it is convenient to have more human-readable IDs during development, so this behavior can be overridden by setting the environment variable BOKEH_SIMPLE_IDS=yes.

Parameters:	obj (list) – a list of values or lists use_numpy (bool, optional) – This argument is only useful for testing (default: True)

`bokeh.util.session_id`¶

Utilities for generating and manipulating session IDs.

A session ID would typically be associated with each browser tab viewing an application or plot. Each session has its own state separate from any other sessions hosted by the server.

check_session_id_signature(session_id, secret_key=None, signed=False)[source]¶

Check the signature of a session ID, returning True if it’s valid.

The server uses this function to check whether a session ID was generated with the correct secret key. If signed sessions are disabled, this function always returns True.

Parameters:	session_id (str) – The session ID to check secret_key (str, optional) – Secret key (default: value of ‘BOKEH_SECRET_KEY’ env var) signed (bool, optional) – Whether to check anything (default: value of ‘BOKEH_SIGN_SESSIONS’ env var)

generate_secret_key()[source]¶: Generate a new securely-generated secret key appropriate for SHA-256 HMAC signatures. This key could be used to sign Bokeh server session IDs for example.

generate_session_id(secret_key=None, signed=False)[source]¶

Generate a random session ID.

Typically, each browser tab connected to a Bokeh application has its own session ID. In production deployments of a Bokeh app, session IDs should be random and unguessable - otherwise users of the app could interfere with one another.

If session IDs are signed with a secret key, the server can verify that the generator of the session ID was “authorized” (the generator had to know the secret key). This can be used to have a separate process, such as another web application, which generates new sessions on a Bokeh server. This other process may require users to log in before redirecting them to the Bokeh server with a valid session ID, for example.

Parameters:	secret_key (str, optional) – Secret key (default: value of ‘BOKEH_SECRET_KEY’ env var) signed (bool, optional) – Whether to sign the session ID (default: value of ‘BOKEH_SIGN_SESSIONS’ env var)

`bokeh.util.string`¶

Functions useful for string manipulations or encoding.

decode_utf8(u)[source]¶

Decode a sequence of bytes to a UTF-8 string

Parameters:	u (str) – the bytes to decode
Returns:	UTF-8 string

encode_utf8(u)[source]¶

Encode a UTF-8 string to a sequence of bytes.

Parameters:	u (str) – the string to encode
Returns:	bytes

format_docstring(docstring, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Safely format docstrings.

When Python is executed with the -OO option, doc strings are removed and replaced the value None. This function guards against applying the string formatting options in that case.

Parameters:	docstring (str or None) – The docstring to format, or `None` args (tuple) – string formatting arguments for the docsring kwargs (dict) – string formatting arguments for the docsring
Returns:	str or None

indent(text, n=2, ch=' ')[source]¶

Indent all the lines in a given block of text by a specified ammount.

Parameters:	text (str) – The text to indent n (int, optional) – The amount to indent each line by (default: 2) ch (char, optional) – What character to fill the indentation with (default: ” ”)

nice_join(seq, sep=', ')[source]¶

Join together sequences of strings into English-friendly phrases using the conjunction or when appropriate.

Parameters:	seq (seq[str]) – a sequence of strings to nicely join sep (str, optional) – a sequence delimiter to use (default: ”, ”)
Returns:	a joined string

Examples

>>> nice_join(["a", "b", "c"])
'a, b or c'

snakify(name, sep='_')[source]¶: Convert CamelCase to snake_case.

`bokeh.util.testing`¶

Functions to help with testing Bokeh and reporting issues.

skipIfPy3(message)[source]¶: unittest decorator to skip a test for Python 3

`bokeh.util.tornado`¶

Internal utils related to Tornado

yield_for_all_futures(result)[source]¶

Converts result into a Future by collapsing any futures inside result.

If result is a Future we yield until it’s done, then if the value inside the Future is another Future we yield until it’s done as well, and so on.

`bokeh.util.version`¶

Provide a version for the Bokeh library.

This module uses versioneer to manage version strings. During development, versioneer will compute a version string from the current git revision. For packaged releases based off tags, the version string is hard coded in the files packaged for distribution.

__version__¶: The full version string for this installed Bokeh library

__base_version__¶: The base version string , without any “dev”, “rc” or local build information appended.

`bokeh.util.warnings`¶

Provide Bokeh-specific warning subclasses.

The primary use of these subclasses to to force them to be unconditionally displayed to users by default.

exception BokehDeprecationWarning[source]¶

A Bokeh-specific DeprecationWarning subclass.

Used to selectively filter Bokeh deprecations for unconditional display.

exception BokehUserWarning[source]¶

A Bokeh-specific UserWarning subclass.
