🔍 Code Extractor

Validates whether a given status value belongs to the predefined group of editable statuses by checking membership in the EDITABLE_STATUSES constant.

Purpose

This function serves as a status validation utility to determine if a particular status allows editing operations. It's typically used in workflow management, state machines, or content management systems where certain statuses permit modifications while others are locked. The function provides a centralized way to enforce business rules about when entities can be edited based on their current status.

Source Code

def is_editable_status(status):
    """Check if status is in the editable group."""
    return status in EDITABLE_STATUSES

Parameters

Parameter Details

status: The status value to check. Expected to be a value that can be compared for membership in EDITABLE_STATUSES collection. This could be a string, integer, Enum member, or any hashable type depending on how EDITABLE_STATUSES is defined. No type constraints are enforced by the function signature.

Return Value

Returns a boolean value: True if the status parameter exists in the EDITABLE_STATUSES collection, False otherwise. This indicates whether the status allows editing operations according to the application's business logic.

Usage Example

# Assuming EDITABLE_STATUSES is defined as:
# EDITABLE_STATUSES = {'draft', 'pending_review', 'in_progress'}

# Check if a status allows editing
current_status = 'draft'
if is_editable_status(current_status):
    print("Status allows editing")
    # Proceed with edit operation
else:
    print("Status is locked for editing")
    # Deny edit operation

# Example with different status
final_status = 'published'
can_edit = is_editable_status(final_status)  # Returns False

# Example with Enum (if EDITABLE_STATUSES contains Enum values)
from enum import Enum

class Status(Enum):
    DRAFT = auto()
    PUBLISHED = auto()

# If EDITABLE_STATUSES = {Status.DRAFT}
is_editable = is_editable_status(Status.DRAFT)  # Returns True

Best Practices

• Ensure EDITABLE_STATUSES is defined as a set or frozenset for O(1) lookup performance rather than a list or tuple
• The EDITABLE_STATUSES constant should be defined at module level for consistency and easy maintenance
• Consider using Enum types for status values to provide type safety and prevent invalid status values
• Document what statuses are included in EDITABLE_STATUSES in your module's documentation
• This function performs no validation on the input parameter; ensure the status parameter type matches the types stored in EDITABLE_STATUSES
• Use this function consistently throughout your codebase rather than directly checking membership in EDITABLE_STATUSES to maintain a single source of truth
