Properties

Method Details

getattribute(...)

x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

Overrides: object.__getattribute__

getformat(float, typestr)

You probably don't want to use this function. It exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite.

typestr must be 'double' or 'float'. This function returns whichever of 'unknown', 'IEEE, big-endian' or 'IEEE, little-endian' best describes the format of floating point numbers used by the C type named by typestr.

Returns: string

hash(x)
(Hashing function)

hash(x)

Overrides: object.__hash__

new(T, S, ...)

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

repr(x)
(Representation operator)

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__

setformat(float, typestr, fmt)

You probably don't want to use this function. It exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite.

typestr must be 'double' or 'float'. fmt must be one of 'unknown', 'IEEE, big-endian' or 'IEEE, little-endian', and in addition can only be one of the latter two if it appears to match the underlying C reality.

Overrides the automatic determination of C-level floating point type. This affects how floats are converted to and from binary strings.

Returns: None

str(x)
(Informal representation operator)

str(x)

Overrides: object.__str__
