This validator checks if a string is valid Python syntax by trying to parse the string into an abstract syntax tree. Note that this validator doesn’t check for things such as correct argument names, etc.
guardrails hub install hub://reflex/valid_python
In this example, we apply the validator to a string output generated by an LLM.
# Import Guard and Validator
from guardrails.hub import ValidPython
from guardrails import Guard
# Setup Guard
guard = Guard().use(ValidPython, on_fail="exception")
# Correct python
correct_python = """
import os
def foo():
print(f"Current path is: {os.getcwd()}")
foo()
"""
incorrect_python = """
import os
def foo()
print f"Current path is: {os.getcwd()}"
foo()
"""
guard.validate(correct_python) # Validator passes
try:
guard.validate(incorrect_python) # Validator fails
except Exception as e:
print(e)
Output:
Validation failed for field with errors: Syntax error: expected ':'
__init__(self, on_fail="noop")
Initializes a new instance of the ValidPython class.
Parameters
on_fail (str, Callable): The policy to enact when a validator fails. If str, must be one of reask, fix, filter, refrain, noop, exception or fix_reask. Otherwise, must be a function that is called when the validator fails.validate(self, value, metadata) -> ValidationResult
Validates the given value using the rules defined in this validator, relying on the metadata provided to customize the validation process. This method is automatically invoked by guard.parse(...), ensuring the validation logic is applied to the input data.
Note:
guard.parse(...) where this method will be called internally for each associated Validator.guard.parse(...), ensure to pass the appropriate metadata dictionary that includes keys and values required by this validator. If guard is associated with multiple validators, combine all necessary metadata into a single dictionary.Parameters
value (Any): The input value to validate.metadata (dict): A dictionary containing metadata required for validation. No additional metadata keys are needed for this validator.The validator playground is available to authenticated users. Please log in to use it.
