Installing

.. code:: bash

$ pip install tag-expressions

Here is a tease

.. code:: python

>>> from tagexpressions import parse
>>>
>>> expression = '( a and b ) or ( c and d )'
>>> compiled_expression = parse(expression)
>>> print(compiled_expression)
( ( a and b ) or ( c and d ) )
>>>
>>> data = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
>>> assert compiled_expression.evaluate(data) == True
>>>
>>> data = ['a', 'c']
>>> assert compiled_expression.evaluate(data) == False
>>>
>>>
>>> expression = 'not a or b and not c or not d or e and f'
>>> compiled_expression = parse(expression)
>>> print(compiled_expression)
( ( ( not ( a ) or ( b and not ( c ) ) ) or not ( d ) ) or ( e and f ) )
>>>
>>> data = ['b', 'e', 'f']
>>> assert compiled_expression.evaluate(data) == True
>>>
>>> data = ['a', 'c', 'd']
>>> assert compiled_expression.evaluate(data) == False
