Condition section

A condition pipeline section lets you selectively discard items from the pipeline. The condition section blueprint name is collective.transmogrifier.sections.condition.

A condition section takes a condition TALES expression. When this expression when matched against the current item is True, the item is yielded to the next pipe section, otherwise it is not:

>>> condition = """
... [transmogrifier]
... pipeline =
...     source
...     condition
...     logger
...
... [source]
... blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.tests.rangesource
... size = 5
...
... [condition]
... blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.condition
... condition = python:int(item['id'][-2:]) > 2
...
... [logger]
... blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.logger
... name = logger
... level = INFO
... """
>>> registerConfig('collective.transmogrifier.sections.tests.condition',
...                condition)
>>> transmogrifier('collective.transmogrifier.sections.tests.condition')
>>> print(handler)
logger INFO
    {'id': 'item-03'}
logger INFO
    {'id': 'item-04'}

The condition expression has access to the following:

item	the current pipeline item
transmogrifier	the transmogrifier
name	the name of the splitter section
options	the splitter options
modules	sys.modules

As condition sections skip items in the pipeline, they should not be used inside a splitter section!
