Parse Raspberry Pi Model

Description​

The parse_raspberry_pi_model function processes a model string and returns a standardized identifier for Raspberry Pi models. If the string contains the term "Raspberry Pi" followed by a model number, it returns a formatted model identifier (e.g., RPi4). If the string does not match this pattern, it returns the original model string.

Function Signature:​

def parse_raspberry_pi_model(model: str) -> str:

Parameters​

  • model (str): The model string to parse, which may contain "Raspberry Pi" and a version number.

Returns​

  • str: A string representing the standardized Raspberry Pi model identifier (e.g., "RPi4") or the original model string if it does not match the expected format.

Example Usage​

Here’s an example of how the function works:

model = "Raspberry Pi 4 Model B"
parsed_model = parse_raspberry_pi_model(model)
print(parsed_model)

Example Output:​

RPi4

Code​

def parse_raspberry_pi_model(model: str) -> str:
    
    if "Raspberry Pi" in model:
        parts = model.split()
        if len(parts) >= 3 and parts[2].isdigit():
            return f"RPi{parts[2]}"
    return model

Errors and Exceptions​

  • This function does not explicitly raise exceptions. If the model string does not match the expected format, the function simply returns the original string.

Notes​

This function is specifically designed for parsing Raspberry Pi model strings that include "Raspberry Pi" followed by a model number. It returns a more standardized identifier (e.g., RPi4 for "Raspberry Pi 4 Model B") for easier processing.
