Method Details [hide private]

__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__
