find_top_level

find_top_level(*components)

Filter a set of components to return only top-level ones.

Top-level components are components that are not dependencies of any other component in the set.

Args

• components (Component): Components to be searched for top-levels.

Returns

list[Component]: Top-level components.

Note

The implementation is equivalent to:

def find_top_level(*components):
    c_set = set(components)
    d_set = set(dep for c in c_set for dep in c.dependencies())
    return list(c_set - d_set)

Example

>>> components = pf.load_layout(filename)
>>> top_level = pf.find_top_level(*components.values())
