'attribute-access': '\n'
'Customizing attribute access\n'
'****************************\n'
'\n'
'The following methods can be defined to customize the '
'meaning of\n'
'attribute access (use of, assignment to, or deletion of '
'"x.name") for\n'
'class instances.\n'
'\n'
'object.__getattr__(self, name)\n'
'\n'
' Called when an attribute lookup has not found the '
'attribute in the\n'
' usual places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute '
'nor is it found\n'
' in the class tree for "self"). "name" is the '
'attribute name. This\n'
' method should return the (computed) attribute value '
'or raise an\n'
' "AttributeError" exception.\n'
'\n'
' Note that if the attribute is found through the '
'normal mechanism,\n'
' "__getattr__()" is not called. (This is an '
'intentional asymmetry\n'
' between "__getattr__()" and "__setattr__()".) This is '
'done both for\n'
' efficiency reasons and because otherwise '
'"__getattr__()" would have\n'
' no way to access other attributes of the instance. '
'Note that at\n'
' least for instance variables, you can fake total '
'control by not\n'
' inserting any values in the instance attribute '
'dictionary (but\n'
' instead inserting them in another object). See the\n'
' "__getattribute__()" method below for a way to '
'actually get total\n'
' control in new-style classes.\n'
'\n'
'object.__setattr__(self, name, value)\n'
'\n'
' Called when an attribute assignment is attempted. '
'This is called\n'
' instead of the normal mechanism (i.e. store the value '
'in the\n'
' instance dictionary). *name* is the attribute name, '
'*value* is the\n'
' value to be assigned to it.\n'
'\n'
' If "__setattr__()" wants to assign to an instance '
'attribute, it\n'
' should not simply execute "self.name = value" --- '
'this would cause\n'
' a recursive call to itself. Instead, it should '
'insert the value in\n'
' the dictionary of instance attributes, e.g., '
'"self.__dict__[name] =\n'
' value". For new-style classes, rather than accessing '
'the instance\n'
' dictionary, it should call the base class method with '
'the same\n'
' name, for example, "object.__setattr__(self, name, '
'value)".\n'
'\n'
'object.__delattr__(self, name)\n'
'\n'
' Like "__setattr__()" but for attribute deletion '
'instead of\n'
' assignment. This should only be implemented if "del '
'obj.name" is\n'
' meaningful for the object.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'More attribute access for new-style classes\n'
'===========================================\n'
'\n'
'The following methods only apply to new-style classes.\n'
'\n'
'object.__getattribute__(self, name)\n'
'\n'
' Called unconditionally to implement attribute '
'accesses for\n'
' instances of the class. If the class also defines '
'"__getattr__()",\n'
' the latter will not be called unless '
'"__getattribute__()" either\n'
' calls it explicitly or raises an "AttributeError". '
'This method\n'
' should return the (computed) attribute value or raise '
'an\n'
' "AttributeError" exception. In order to avoid '
'infinite recursion in\n'
' this method, its implementation should always call '
'the base class\n'
' method with the same name to access any attributes it '
'needs, for\n'
' example, "object.__getattribute__(self, name)".\n'
'\n'
' Note: This method may still be bypassed when looking '
'up special\n'
' methods as the result of implicit invocation via '
'language syntax\n'
' or built-in functions. See Special method lookup '
'for new-style\n'
' classes.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Implementing Descriptors\n'
'========================\n'
'\n'
'The following methods only apply when an instance of the '
'class\n'
'containing the method (a so-called *descriptor* class) '
'appears in an\n'
'*owner* class (the descriptor must be in either the '
"owner's class\n"
'dictionary or in the class dictionary for one of its '
'parents). In the\n'
'examples below, "the attribute" refers to the attribute '
'whose name is\n'
"the key of the property in the owner class' "
'"__dict__".\n'
'\n'
'object.__get__(self, instance, owner)\n'
'\n'
' Called to get the attribute of the owner class (class '
'attribute\n'
' access) or of an instance of that class (instance '
'attribute\n'
' access). *owner* is always the owner class, while '
'*instance* is the\n'
' instance that the attribute was accessed through, or '
'"None" when\n'
' the attribute is accessed through the *owner*. This '
'method should\n'
' return the (computed) attribute value or raise an '
'"AttributeError"\n'
' exception.\n'
'\n'
'object.__set__(self, instance, value)\n'
'\n'
' Called to set the attribute on an instance *instance* '
'of the owner\n'
' class to a new value, *value*.\n'
'\n'
'object.__delete__(self, instance)\n'
'\n'
' Called to delete the attribute on an instance '
'*instance* of the\n'
' owner class.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Invoking Descriptors\n'
'====================\n'
'\n'
'In general, a descriptor is an object attribute with '
'"binding\n'
'behavior", one whose attribute access has been '
'overridden by methods\n'
'in the descriptor protocol: "__get__()", "__set__()", '
'and\n'
'"__delete__()". If any of those methods are defined for '
'an object, it\n'
'is said to be a descriptor.\n'
'\n'
'The default behavior for attribute access is to get, '
'set, or delete\n'
"the attribute from an object's dictionary. For instance, "
'"a.x" has a\n'
'lookup chain starting with "a.__dict__[\'x\']", then\n'
'"type(a).__dict__[\'x\']", and continuing through the '
'base classes of\n'
'"type(a)" excluding metaclasses.\n'
'\n'
'However, if the looked-up value is an object defining '
'one of the\n'
'descriptor methods, then Python may override the default '
'behavior and\n'
'invoke the descriptor method instead. Where this occurs '
'in the\n'
'precedence chain depends on which descriptor methods '
'were defined and\n'
'how they were called. Note that descriptors are only '
'invoked for new\n'
'style objects or classes (ones that subclass "object()" '
'or "type()").\n'
'\n'
'The starting point for descriptor invocation is a '
'binding, "a.x". How\n'
'the arguments are assembled depends on "a":\n'
'\n'
'Direct Call\n'
' The simplest and least common call is when user code '
'directly\n'
' invokes a descriptor method: "x.__get__(a)".\n'
'\n'
'Instance Binding\n'
' If binding to a new-style object instance, "a.x" is '
'transformed\n'
' into the call: "type(a).__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(a, '
'type(a))".\n'
'\n'
'Class Binding\n'
' If binding to a new-style class, "A.x" is transformed '
'into the\n'
' call: "A.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(None, A)".\n'
'\n'
'Super Binding\n'
' If "a" is an instance of "super", then the binding '
'"super(B,\n'
' obj).m()" searches "obj.__class__.__mro__" for the '
'base class "A"\n'
' immediately preceding "B" and then invokes the '
'descriptor with the\n'
' call: "A.__dict__[\'m\'].__get__(obj, '
'obj.__class__)".\n'
'\n'
'For instance bindings, the precedence of descriptor '
'invocation depends\n'
'on the which descriptor methods are defined. A '
'descriptor can define\n'
'any combination of "__get__()", "__set__()" and '
'"__delete__()". If it\n'
'does not define "__get__()", then accessing the '
'attribute will return\n'
'the descriptor object itself unless there is a value in '
"the object's\n"
'instance dictionary. If the descriptor defines '
'"__set__()" and/or\n'
'"__delete__()", it is a data descriptor; if it defines '
'neither, it is\n'
'a non-data descriptor. Normally, data descriptors '
'define both\n'
'"__get__()" and "__set__()", while non-data descriptors '
'have just the\n'
'"__get__()" method. Data descriptors with "__set__()" '
'and "__get__()"\n'
'defined always override a redefinition in an instance '
'dictionary. In\n'
'contrast, non-data descriptors can be overridden by '
'instances.\n'
'\n'
'Python methods (including "staticmethod()" and '
'"classmethod()") are\n'
'implemented as non-data descriptors. Accordingly, '
'instances can\n'
'redefine and override methods. This allows individual '
'instances to\n'
'acquire behaviors that differ from other instances of '
'the same class.\n'
'\n'
'The "property()" function is implemented as a data '
'descriptor.\n'
'Accordingly, instances cannot override the behavior of a '
'property.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'__slots__\n'
'=========\n'
'\n'
'By default, instances of both old and new-style classes '
'have a\n'
'dictionary for attribute storage. This wastes space for '
'objects\n'
'having very few instance variables. The space '
'consumption can become\n'
'acute when creating large numbers of instances.\n'
'\n'
'The default can be overridden by defining *__slots__* in '
'a new-style\n'
'class definition. The *__slots__* declaration takes a '
'sequence of\n'
'instance variables and reserves just enough space in '
'each instance to\n'
'hold a value for each variable. Space is saved because '
'*__dict__* is\n'
'not created for each instance.\n'
'\n'
'__slots__\n'
'\n'
' This class variable can be assigned a string, '
'iterable, or sequence\n'
' of strings with variable names used by instances. If '
'defined in a\n'
' new-style class, *__slots__* reserves space for the '
'declared\n'
' variables and prevents the automatic creation of '
'*__dict__* and\n'
' *__weakref__* for each instance.\n'
'\n'
' New in version 2.2.\n'
'\n'
'Notes on using *__slots__*\n'
'\n'
'* When inheriting from a class without *__slots__*, the '
'*__dict__*\n'
' attribute of that class will always be accessible, so '
'a *__slots__*\n'
' definition in the subclass is meaningless.\n'
'\n'
'* Without a *__dict__* variable, instances cannot be '
'assigned new\n'
' variables not listed in the *__slots__* definition. '
'Attempts to\n'
' assign to an unlisted variable name raises '
'"AttributeError". If\n'
' dynamic assignment of new variables is desired, then '
'add\n'
' "\'__dict__\'" to the sequence of strings in the '
'*__slots__*\n'
' declaration.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding '
'"\'__dict__\'" to the\n'
' *__slots__* declaration would not enable the '
'assignment of new\n'
' attributes not specifically listed in the sequence of '
'instance\n'
' variable names.\n'
'\n'
'* Without a *__weakref__* variable for each instance, '
'classes\n'
' defining *__slots__* do not support weak references to '
'its\n'
' instances. If weak reference support is needed, then '
'add\n'
' "\'__weakref__\'" to the sequence of strings in the '
'*__slots__*\n'
' declaration.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding '
'"\'__weakref__\'" to the\n'
' *__slots__* declaration would not enable support for '
'weak\n'
' references.\n'
'\n'
'* *__slots__* are implemented at the class level by '
'creating\n'
' descriptors (Implementing Descriptors) for each '
'variable name. As a\n'
' result, class attributes cannot be used to set default '
'values for\n'
' instance variables defined by *__slots__*; otherwise, '
'the class\n'
' attribute would overwrite the descriptor assignment.\n'
'\n'
'* The action of a *__slots__* declaration is limited to '
'the class\n'
' where it is defined. As a result, subclasses will '
'have a *__dict__*\n'
' unless they also define *__slots__* (which must only '
'contain names\n'
' of any *additional* slots).\n'
'\n'
'* If a class defines a slot also defined in a base '
'class, the\n'
' instance variable defined by the base class slot is '
'inaccessible\n'
' (except by retrieving its descriptor directly from the '
'base class).\n'
' This renders the meaning of the program undefined. In '
'the future, a\n'
' check may be added to prevent this.\n'
'\n'
'* Nonempty *__slots__* does not work for classes derived '
'from\n'
' "variable-length" built-in types such as "long", "str" '
'and "tuple".\n'
'\n'
'* Any non-string iterable may be assigned to '
'*__slots__*. Mappings\n'
' may also be used; however, in the future, special '
'meaning may be\n'
' assigned to the values corresponding to each key.\n'
'\n'
'* *__class__* assignment works only if both classes have '
'the same\n'
' *__slots__*.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.6: Previously, *__class__* '
'assignment raised an\n'
' error if either new or old class had *__slots__*.\n',

'\n'
'An augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike '

'expression\n'
'list, performs the binary operation specific to the type of '

'target.\n'
'The target is only evaluated once.\n'
'\n'
'An augmented assignment expression like "x += 1" can be '

'****************************\n'
'\n'
'The binary arithmetic operations have the conventional priority\n'
'levels. Note that some of these operations also apply to certain '

'levels, one for multiplicative operators and one for additive\n'
'operators:\n'
'\n'
' m_expr ::= u_expr | m_expr "*" u_expr | m_expr "//" u_expr | '

' a_expr ::= m_expr | a_expr "+" m_expr | a_expr "-" m_expr\n'
'\n'
'The "*" (multiplication) operator yields the product of its '

'former case, the numbers are converted to a common type and then\n'
'multiplied together. In the latter case, sequence repetition is\n'
'performed; a negative repetition factor yields an empty sequence.\n'
'\n'
'The "/" (division) and "//" (floor division) operators yield the\n'
'quotient of their arguments. The numeric arguments are first\n'
'converted to a common type. Plain or long integer division yields '
'an\n'

'is\n'
'strictly smaller than the absolute value of the second operand '
'[2].\n'
'\n'
'The integer division and modulo operators are connected by the\n'

'\n'
'The operators "<", ">", "==", ">=", "<=", and "!=" compare '

'of two objects. The objects do not need to have the same '
'type.\n'
'\n'
'Chapter Objects, values and types states that objects have a '
'value (in\n'
'addition to type and identity). The value of an object is a '
'rather\n'
'abstract notion in Python: For example, there is no canonical '
'access\n'
"method for an object's value. Also, there is no requirement "
'that the\n'
'value of an object should be constructed in a particular way, '
'e.g.\n'
'comprised of all its data attributes. Comparison operators '
'implement a\n'
'particular notion of what the value of an object is. One can '
'think of\n'
'them as defining the value of an object indirectly, by means '
'of their\n'
'comparison implementation.\n'
'\n'
'Types can customize their comparison behavior by implementing '
'a\n'
'"__cmp__()" method or *rich comparison methods* like '
'"__lt__()",\n'
'described in Basic customization.\n'
'\n'
'The default behavior for equality comparison ("==" and "!=") '
'is based\n'
'on the identity of the objects. Hence, equality comparison '
'of\n'
'instances with the same identity results in equality, and '
'equality\n'
'comparison of instances with different identities results in\n'
'inequality. A motivation for this default behavior is the '
'desire that\n'
'all objects should be reflexive (i.e. "x is y" implies "x == '
'y").\n'
'\n'
'The default order comparison ("<", ">", "<=", and ">=") gives '
'a\n'
'consistent but arbitrary order.\n'
'\n'
'(This unusual definition of comparison was used to simplify '
'the\n'
'definition of operations like sorting and the "in" and "not '
'in"\n'
'operators. In the future, the comparison rules for objects '
'of\n'
'different types are likely to change.)\n'
'\n'
'The behavior of the default equality comparison, that '
'instances with\n'
'different identities are always unequal, may be in contrast '
'to what\n'
'types will need that have a sensible definition of object '
'value and\n'
'value-based equality. Such types will need to customize '
'their\n'
'comparison behavior, and in fact, a number of built-in types '
'have done\n'
'that.\n'
'\n'
'The following list describes the comparison behavior of the '
'most\n'
'important built-in types.\n'
'\n'
'* Numbers of built-in numeric types (Numeric Types --- int, '
'float,\n'
' long, complex) and of the standard library types\n'
' "fractions.Fraction" and "decimal.Decimal" can be compared '
'within\n'
' and across their types, with the restriction that complex '
'numbers do\n'
' not support order comparison. Within the limits of the '
'types\n'
' involved, they compare mathematically (algorithmically) '
'correct\n'
' without loss of precision.\n'
'\n'
'* Strings (instances of "str" or "unicode") compare\n'
' lexicographically using the numeric equivalents (the result '
'of the\n'
' built-in function "ord()") of their characters. [4] When '
'comparing\n'
' an 8-bit string and a Unicode string, the 8-bit string is '
'converted\n'
' to Unicode. If the conversion fails, the strings are '
'considered\n'
' unequal.\n'
'\n'
'* Instances of "tuple" or "list" can be compared only within '
'each of\n'
' their types. Equality comparison across these types '
'results in\n'
' unequality, and ordering comparison across these types '
'gives an\n'
' arbitrary order.\n'
'\n'
' These sequences compare lexicographically using comparison '
'of\n'
' corresponding elements, whereby reflexivity of the elements '
'is\n'
' enforced.\n'
'\n'
' In enforcing reflexivity of elements, the comparison of '
'collections\n'
' assumes that for a collection element "x", "x == x" is '
'always true.\n'
' Based on that assumption, element identity is compared '
'first, and\n'
' element comparison is performed only for distinct '
'elements. This\n'
' approach yields the same result as a strict element '
'comparison\n'
' would, if the compared elements are reflexive. For '
'non-reflexive\n'
' elements, the result is different than for strict element\n'
' comparison.\n'
'\n'
' Lexicographical comparison between built-in collections '
'works as\n'
' follows:\n'
'\n'
' * For two collections to compare equal, they must be of the '
'same\n'
' type, have the same length, and each pair of '
'corresponding\n'
' elements must compare equal (for example, "[1,2] == '
'(1,2)" is\n'
' false because the type is not the same).\n'
'\n'
' * Collections are ordered the same as their first unequal '
'elements\n'
' (for example, "cmp([1,2,x], [1,2,y])" returns the same '
'as\n'
' "cmp(x,y)"). If a corresponding element does not exist, '
'the\n'
' shorter collection is ordered first (for example, "[1,2] '
'<\n'
' [1,2,3]" is true).\n'
'\n'
'* Mappings (instances of "dict") compare equal if and only if '
'they\n'
' have equal *(key, value)* pairs. Equality comparison of the '
'keys and\n'
' values enforces reflexivity.\n'
'\n'
' Outcomes other than equality are resolved consistently, but '
'are not\n'
' otherwise defined. [5]\n'
'\n'
'* Most other objects of built-in types compare unequal unless '
'they\n'
' are the same object; the choice whether one object is '
'considered\n'
' smaller or larger than another one is made arbitrarily but\n'

'* Equality comparison should be reflexive. In other words, '

'\n'
' "x is y" implies "x == y"\n'

'Membership test operations\n'
'==========================\n'
'\n'
'The operators "in" and "not in" test for membership. "x in '
's"\n'
'evaluates to "True" if *x* is a member of *s*, and "False" '
'otherwise.\n'
'"x not in s" returns the negation of "x in s". All built-in '
'sequences\n'
'and set types support this as well as dictionary, for which '
'"in" tests\n'
'whether the dictionary has a given key. For container types '
'such as\n'
'list, tuple, set, frozenset, dict, or collections.deque, the\n'
'expression "x in y" is equivalent to "any(x is e or x == e '
'for e in\n'
'y)".\n'
'\n'
'For the string and bytes types, "x in y" is "True" if and '
'only if *x*\n'
'is a substring of *y*. An equivalent test is "y.find(x) != '
'-1".\n'
'Empty strings are always considered to be a substring of any '
'other\n'
'string, so """ in "abc"" will return "True".\n'
'\n'
'For user-defined classes which define the "__contains__()" '
'method, "x\n'
'in y" returns "True" if "y.__contains__(x)" returns a true '

'raised\n'
'during the iteration, it is as if "in" raised that '
'exception.\n'

'Compound statements\n'
'*******************\n'
'\n'
'Compound statements contain (groups of) other statements; they '
'affect\n'
'or control the execution of those other statements in some way. '
'In\n'
'general, compound statements span multiple lines, although in '
'simple\n'
'incarnations a whole compound statement may be contained in one '
'line.\n'
'\n'
'The "if", "while" and "for" statements implement traditional '
'control\n'
'flow constructs. "try" specifies exception handlers and/or '
'cleanup\n'
'code for a group of statements. Function and class definitions '
'are\n'
'also syntactically compound statements.\n'
'\n'
"Compound statements consist of one or more 'clauses.' A clause\n"
"consists of a header and a 'suite.' The clause headers of a\n"
'particular compound statement are all at the same indentation '
'level.\n'
'Each clause header begins with a uniquely identifying keyword '
'and ends\n'
'with a colon. A suite is a group of statements controlled by a\n'
'clause. A suite can be one or more semicolon-separated simple\n'
'statements on the same line as the header, following the '
"header's\n"
'colon, or it can be one or more indented statements on '
'subsequent\n'
'lines. Only the latter form of suite can contain nested '
'compound\n'
"statements; the following is illegal, mostly because it wouldn't "
'be\n'
'clear to which "if" clause a following "else" clause would '
'belong:\n'
'\n'
' if test1: if test2: print x\n'
'\n'
'Also note that the semicolon binds tighter than the colon in '
'this\n'
'context, so that in the following example, either all or none of '
'the\n'
'"print" statements are executed:\n'
'\n'
' if x < y < z: print x; print y; print z\n'

'requiring nested "if" statements to be indented).\n'
'\n'
'The formatting of the grammar rules in the following sections '
'places\n'
'each clause on a separate line for clarity.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'The "if" statement\n'
'==================\n'
'\n'
'The "if" statement is used for conditional execution:\n'
'\n'
' if_stmt ::= "if" expression ":" suite\n'
' ( "elif" expression ":" suite )*\n'
' ["else" ":" suite]\n'
'\n'
'It selects exactly one of the suites by evaluating the '
'expressions one\n'
'by one until one is found to be true (see section Boolean '
'operations\n'
'for the definition of true and false); then that suite is '
'executed\n'
'(and no other part of the "if" statement is executed or '
'evaluated).\n'
'If all expressions are false, the suite of the "else" clause, '
'if\n'
'present, is executed.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'The "while" statement\n'
'=====================\n'
'\n'
'The "while" statement is used for repeated execution as long as '
'an\n'
'expression is true:\n'
'\n'
' while_stmt ::= "while" expression ":" suite\n'
' ["else" ":" suite]\n'
'\n'
'This repeatedly tests the expression and, if it is true, '
'executes the\n'
'first suite; if the expression is false (which may be the first '
'time\n'
'it is tested) the suite of the "else" clause, if present, is '
'executed\n'
'and the loop terminates.\n'
'\n'
'A "break" statement executed in the first suite terminates the '
'loop\n'
'without executing the "else" clause\'s suite. A "continue" '
'statement\n'
'executed in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and goes '
'back\n'
'to testing the expression.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'The "for" statement\n'
'===================\n'
'\n'
'The "for" statement is used to iterate over the elements of a '
'sequence\n'
'(such as a string, tuple or list) or other iterable object:\n'
'\n'
' for_stmt ::= "for" target_list "in" expression_list ":" '
'suite\n'
' ["else" ":" suite]\n'
'\n'
'The expression list is evaluated once; it should yield an '
'iterable\n'
'object. An iterator is created for the result of the\n'
'"expression_list". The suite is then executed once for each '
'item\n'
'provided by the iterator, in the order of ascending indices. '
'Each\n'
'item in turn is assigned to the target list using the standard '
'rules\n'
'for assignments, and then the suite is executed. When the items '
'are\n'
'exhausted (which is immediately when the sequence is empty), the '
'suite\n'
'in the "else" clause, if present, is executed, and the loop\n'
'terminates.\n'
'\n'
'A "break" statement executed in the first suite terminates the '
'loop\n'
'without executing the "else" clause\'s suite. A "continue" '
'statement\n'
'executed in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and '
'continues\n'
'with the next item, or with the "else" clause if there was no '
'next\n'
'item.\n'
'\n'
'The suite may assign to the variable(s) in the target list; this '
'does\n'
'not affect the next item assigned to it.\n'
'\n'
'The target list is not deleted when the loop is finished, but if '
'the\n'
'sequence is empty, it will not have been assigned to at all by '
'the\n'
'loop. Hint: the built-in function "range()" returns a sequence '
'of\n'
'integers suitable to emulate the effect of Pascal\'s "for i := a '
'to b\n'
'do"; e.g., "range(3)" returns the list "[0, 1, 2]".\n'
'\n'
'Note: There is a subtlety when the sequence is being modified by '
'the\n'
' loop (this can only occur for mutable sequences, i.e. lists). '
'An\n'
' internal counter is used to keep track of which item is used '
'next,\n'
' and this is incremented on each iteration. When this counter '
'has\n'
' reached the length of the sequence the loop terminates. This '
'means\n'
' that if the suite deletes the current (or a previous) item '
'from the\n'
' sequence, the next item will be skipped (since it gets the '
'index of\n'
' the current item which has already been treated). Likewise, '
'if the\n'
' suite inserts an item in the sequence before the current item, '
'the\n'
' current item will be treated again the next time through the '
'loop.\n'
' This can lead to nasty bugs that can be avoided by making a\n'
' temporary copy using a slice of the whole sequence, e.g.,\n'
'\n'
' for x in a[:]:\n'
' if x < 0: a.remove(x)\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'The "try" statement\n'
'===================\n'
'\n'
'The "try" statement specifies exception handlers and/or cleanup '
'code\n'
'for a group of statements:\n'
'\n'
' try_stmt ::= try1_stmt | try2_stmt\n'
' try1_stmt ::= "try" ":" suite\n'
' ("except" [expression [("as" | ",") '
'identifier]] ":" suite)+\n'
' ["else" ":" suite]\n'
' ["finally" ":" suite]\n'
' try2_stmt ::= "try" ":" suite\n'
' "finally" ":" suite\n'
'\n'
'Changed in version 2.5: In previous versions of Python,\n'
'"try"..."except"..."finally" did not work. "try"..."except" had '
'to be\n'
'nested in "try"..."finally".\n'
'\n'
'The "except" clause(s) specify one or more exception handlers. '
'When no\n'
'exception occurs in the "try" clause, no exception handler is\n'
'executed. When an exception occurs in the "try" suite, a search '
'for an\n'
'exception handler is started. This search inspects the except '
'clauses\n'
'in turn until one is found that matches the exception. An '
'expression-\n'
'less except clause, if present, must be last; it matches any\n'
'exception. For an except clause with an expression, that '
'expression\n'
'is evaluated, and the clause matches the exception if the '
'resulting\n'
'object is "compatible" with the exception. An object is '
'compatible\n'
'with an exception if it is the class or a base class of the '
'exception\n'
'object, or a tuple containing an item compatible with the '
'exception.\n'
'\n'
'If no except clause matches the exception, the search for an '
'exception\n'
'handler continues in the surrounding code and on the invocation '
'stack.\n'
'[1]\n'
'\n'
'If the evaluation of an expression in the header of an except '
'clause\n'
'raises an exception, the original search for a handler is '
'canceled and\n'
'a search starts for the new exception in the surrounding code '
'and on\n'
'the call stack (it is treated as if the entire "try" statement '
'raised\n'
'the exception).\n'
'\n'
'When a matching except clause is found, the exception is '
'assigned to\n'
'the target specified in that except clause, if present, and the '
'except\n'
"clause's suite is executed. All except clauses must have an\n"
'executable block. When the end of this block is reached, '
'execution\n'
'continues normally after the entire try statement. (This means '
'that\n'
'if two nested handlers exist for the same exception, and the '
'exception\n'
'occurs in the try clause of the inner handler, the outer handler '
'will\n'
'not handle the exception.)\n'
'\n'
"Before an except clause's suite is executed, details about the\n"
'exception are assigned to three variables in the "sys" module:\n'
'"sys.exc_type" receives the object identifying the exception;\n'
'"sys.exc_value" receives the exception\'s parameter;\n'
'"sys.exc_traceback" receives a traceback object (see section '
'The\n'
'standard type hierarchy) identifying the point in the program '
'where\n'
'the exception occurred. These details are also available through '
'the\n'
'"sys.exc_info()" function, which returns a tuple "(exc_type,\n'
'exc_value, exc_traceback)". Use of the corresponding variables '
'is\n'
'deprecated in favor of this function, since their use is unsafe '
'in a\n'
'threaded program. As of Python 1.5, the variables are restored '
'to\n'
'their previous values (before the call) when returning from a '
'function\n'
'that handled an exception.\n'
'\n'
'The optional "else" clause is executed if and when control flows '
'off\n'
'the end of the "try" clause. [2] Exceptions in the "else" clause '
'are\n'
'not handled by the preceding "except" clauses.\n'
'\n'
'If "finally" is present, it specifies a \'cleanup\' handler. '
'The "try"\n'
'clause is executed, including any "except" and "else" clauses. '
'If an\n'
'exception occurs in any of the clauses and is not handled, the\n'
'exception is temporarily saved. The "finally" clause is '
'executed. If\n'
'there is a saved exception, it is re-raised at the end of the\n'
'"finally" clause. If the "finally" clause raises another '
'exception or\n'
'executes a "return" or "break" statement, the saved exception '
'is\n'
'discarded:\n'
'\n'
' >>> def f():\n'
' ... try:\n'
' ... 1/0\n'
' ... finally:\n'
' ... return 42\n'
' ...\n'
' >>> f()\n'
' 42\n'
'\n'
'The exception information is not available to the program '
'during\n'
'execution of the "finally" clause.\n'
'\n'
'When a "return", "break" or "continue" statement is executed in '
'the\n'
'"try" suite of a "try"..."finally" statement, the "finally" '
'clause is\n'
'also executed \'on the way out.\' A "continue" statement is '
'illegal in\n'
'the "finally" clause. (The reason is a problem with the current\n'
'implementation --- this restriction may be lifted in the '
'future).\n'
'\n'
'The return value of a function is determined by the last '
'"return"\n'
'statement executed. Since the "finally" clause always executes, '
'a\n'
'"return" statement executed in the "finally" clause will always '
'be the\n'
'last one executed:\n'
'\n'
' >>> def foo():\n'
' ... try:\n'
" ... return 'try'\n"
' ... finally:\n'
" ... return 'finally'\n"
' ...\n'
' >>> foo()\n'
" 'finally'\n"

'Additional information on exceptions can be found in section\n'
'Exceptions, and information on using the "raise" statement to '
'generate\n'
'exceptions may be found in section The raise statement.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'The "with" statement\n'
'====================\n'
'\n'
'New in version 2.5.\n'
'\n'
'The "with" statement is used to wrap the execution of a block '
'with\n'
'methods defined by a context manager (see section With '
'Statement\n'
'Context Managers). This allows common '
'"try"..."except"..."finally"\n'
'usage patterns to be encapsulated for convenient reuse.\n'
'\n'
' with_stmt ::= "with" with_item ("," with_item)* ":" suite\n'
' with_item ::= expression ["as" target]\n'
'\n'
'The execution of the "with" statement with one "item" proceeds '
'as\n'
'follows:\n'
'\n'
'1. The context expression (the expression given in the '
'"with_item")\n'
' is evaluated to obtain a context manager.\n'
'\n'
'2. The context manager\'s "__exit__()" is loaded for later use.\n'
'\n'
'3. The context manager\'s "__enter__()" method is invoked.\n'
'\n'
'4. If a target was included in the "with" statement, the return\n'
' value from "__enter__()" is assigned to it.\n'
'\n'
' Note: The "with" statement guarantees that if the '
'"__enter__()"\n'
' method returns without an error, then "__exit__()" will '
'always be\n'
' called. Thus, if an error occurs during the assignment to '
'the\n'
' target list, it will be treated the same as an error '
'occurring\n'
' within the suite would be. See step 6 below.\n'
'\n'
'5. The suite is executed.\n'
'\n'
'6. The context manager\'s "__exit__()" method is invoked. If an\n'
' exception caused the suite to be exited, its type, value, '
'and\n'
' traceback are passed as arguments to "__exit__()". Otherwise, '
'three\n'
' "None" arguments are supplied.\n'
'\n'
' If the suite was exited due to an exception, and the return '
'value\n'
' from the "__exit__()" method was false, the exception is '
'reraised.\n'
' If the return value was true, the exception is suppressed, '
'and\n'
' execution continues with the statement following the "with"\n'
' statement.\n'
'\n'
' If the suite was exited for any reason other than an '
'exception, the\n'
' return value from "__exit__()" is ignored, and execution '
'proceeds\n'
' at the normal location for the kind of exit that was taken.\n'
'\n'
'With more than one item, the context managers are processed as '
'if\n'
'multiple "with" statements were nested:\n'
'\n'
' with A() as a, B() as b:\n'
' suite\n'
'\n'
'is equivalent to\n'
'\n'
' with A() as a:\n'
' with B() as b:\n'
' suite\n'
'\n'
'Note: In Python 2.5, the "with" statement is only allowed when '
'the\n'
' "with_statement" feature has been enabled. It is always '
'enabled in\n'
' Python 2.6.\n'
'\n'
'Changed in version 2.7: Support for multiple context '
'expressions.\n'

'\n'
'Function definitions\n'
'====================\n'
'\n'
'A function definition defines a user-defined function object '
'(see\n'
'section The standard type hierarchy):\n'
'\n'
' decorated ::= decorators (classdef | funcdef)\n'
' decorators ::= decorator+\n'
' decorator ::= "@" dotted_name ["(" [argument_list [","]] '
'")"] NEWLINE\n'
' funcdef ::= "def" funcname "(" [parameter_list] ")" '
'":" suite\n'
' dotted_name ::= identifier ("." identifier)*\n'
' parameter_list ::= (defparameter ",")*\n'
' ( "*" identifier ["," "**" identifier]\n'
' | "**" identifier\n'
' | defparameter [","] )\n'
' defparameter ::= parameter ["=" expression]\n'
' sublist ::= parameter ("," parameter)* [","]\n'
' parameter ::= identifier | "(" sublist ")"\n'
' funcname ::= identifier\n'
'\n'
'A function definition is an executable statement. Its execution '
'binds\n'
'the function name in the current local namespace to a function '
'object\n'
'(a wrapper around the executable code for the function). This\n'
'function object contains a reference to the current global '
'namespace\n'
'as the global namespace to be used when the function is called.\n'
'\n'
'The function definition does not execute the function body; this '
'gets\n'
'executed only when the function is called. [3]\n'
'\n'
'A function definition may be wrapped by one or more *decorator*\n'
'expressions. Decorator expressions are evaluated when the '
'function is\n'
'defined, in the scope that contains the function definition. '
'The\n'
'result must be a callable, which is invoked with the function '
'object\n'
'as the only argument. The returned value is bound to the '
'function name\n'
'instead of the function object. Multiple decorators are applied '
'in\n'
'nested fashion. For example, the following code:\n'
'\n'
' @f1(arg)\n'
' @f2\n'
' def func(): pass\n'
'\n'
'is equivalent to:\n'
'\n'
' def func(): pass\n'
' func = f1(arg)(f2(func))\n'
'\n'
'When one or more top-level *parameters* have the form '
'*parameter* "="\n'
'*expression*, the function is said to have "default parameter '
'values."\n'
'For a parameter with a default value, the corresponding '
'*argument* may\n'
"be omitted from a call, in which case the parameter's default "
'value is\n'
'substituted. If a parameter has a default value, all following\n'
'parameters must also have a default value --- this is a '
'syntactic\n'
'restriction that is not expressed by the grammar.\n'
'\n'
'**Default parameter values are evaluated when the function '
'definition\n'
'is executed.** This means that the expression is evaluated '
'once, when\n'
'the function is defined, and that the same "pre-computed" value '
'is\n'
'used for each call. This is especially important to understand '
'when a\n'
'default parameter is a mutable object, such as a list or a '
'dictionary:\n'
'if the function modifies the object (e.g. by appending an item '
'to a\n'
'list), the default value is in effect modified. This is '
'generally not\n'
'what was intended. A way around this is to use "None" as the\n'
'default, and explicitly test for it in the body of the function, '
'e.g.:\n'
'\n'
' def whats_on_the_telly(penguin=None):\n'
' if penguin is None:\n'
' penguin = []\n'
' penguin.append("property of the zoo")\n'
' return penguin\n'
'\n'
'Function call semantics are described in more detail in section '
'Calls.\n'
'A function call always assigns values to all parameters '
'mentioned in\n'
'the parameter list, either from position arguments, from '
'keyword\n'
'arguments, or from default values. If the form ""*identifier"" '
'is\n'
'present, it is initialized to a tuple receiving any excess '
'positional\n'
'parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple. If the form\n'
'""**identifier"" is present, it is initialized to a new '
'dictionary\n'
'receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a new '
'empty\n'
'dictionary.\n'
'\n'
'It is also possible to create anonymous functions (functions not '
'bound\n'
'to a name), for immediate use in expressions. This uses lambda\n'
'expressions, described in section Lambdas. Note that the '
'lambda\n'
'expression is merely a shorthand for a simplified function '
'definition;\n'
'a function defined in a ""def"" statement can be passed around '
'or\n'
'assigned to another name just like a function defined by a '
'lambda\n'
'expression. The ""def"" form is actually more powerful since '
'it\n'
'allows the execution of multiple statements.\n'
'\n'
"**Programmer's note:** Functions are first-class objects. A "
'""def""\n'
'form executed inside a function definition defines a local '
'function\n'
'that can be returned or passed around. Free variables used in '
'the\n'
'nested function can access the local variables of the function\n'
'containing the def. See section Naming and binding for '
'details.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Class definitions\n'
'=================\n'
'\n'
'A class definition defines a class object (see section The '
'standard\n'

'object.__new__(cls[, ...])\n'
'\n'
' Called to create a new instance of class *cls*. '
'"__new__()" is a\n'
' static method (special-cased so you need not declare it '
'as such)\n'
' that takes the class of which an instance was requested '
'as its\n'
' first argument. The remaining arguments are those '
'passed to the\n'
' object constructor expression (the call to the class). '
'The return\n'
' value of "__new__()" should be the new object instance '
'(usually an\n'
' instance of *cls*).\n'
'\n'
' Typical implementations create a new instance of the '
'class by\n'
' invoking the superclass\'s "__new__()" method using\n'
' "super(currentclass, cls).__new__(cls[, ...])" with '
'appropriate\n'
' arguments and then modifying the newly-created instance '
'as\n'
' necessary before returning it.\n'
'\n'
' If "__new__()" returns an instance of *cls*, then the '
'new\n'
' instance\'s "__init__()" method will be invoked like\n'
' "__init__(self[, ...])", where *self* is the new '
'instance and the\n'
' remaining arguments are the same as were passed to '
'"__new__()".\n'
'\n'
' If "__new__()" does not return an instance of *cls*, '
'then the new\n'
' instance\'s "__init__()" method will not be invoked.\n'
'\n'
' "__new__()" is intended mainly to allow subclasses of '
'immutable\n'
' types (like int, str, or tuple) to customize instance '
'creation. It\n'
' is also commonly overridden in custom metaclasses in '
'order to\n'
' customize class creation.\n'
'\n'
'object.__init__(self[, ...])\n'
'\n'
' Called after the instance has been created (by '
'"__new__()"), but\n'
' before it is returned to the caller. The arguments are '
'those\n'
' passed to the class constructor expression. If a base '
'class has an\n'
' "__init__()" method, the derived class\'s "__init__()" '
'method, if\n'
' any, must explicitly call it to ensure proper '
'initialization of the\n'
' base class part of the instance; for example:\n'
' "BaseClass.__init__(self, [args...])".\n'
'\n'
' Because "__new__()" and "__init__()" work together in '
'constructing\n'
' objects ("__new__()" to create it, and "__init__()" to '
'customise\n'
' it), no non-"None" value may be returned by '
'"__init__()"; doing so\n'
' will cause a "TypeError" to be raised at runtime.\n'
'\n'
'object.__del__(self)\n'
'\n'
' Called when the instance is about to be destroyed. This '
'is also\n'
' called a destructor. If a base class has a "__del__()" '
'method, the\n'
' derived class\'s "__del__()" method, if any, must '
'explicitly call it\n'
' to ensure proper deletion of the base class part of the '
'instance.\n'
' Note that it is possible (though not recommended!) for '
'the\n'
' "__del__()" method to postpone destruction of the '
'instance by\n'
' creating a new reference to it. It may then be called '
'at a later\n'
' time when this new reference is deleted. It is not '
'guaranteed that\n'
' "__del__()" methods are called for objects that still '
'exist when\n'
' the interpreter exits.\n'
'\n'
' Note: "del x" doesn\'t directly call "x.__del__()" --- '
'the former\n'
' decrements the reference count for "x" by one, and the '
'latter is\n'
' only called when "x"\'s reference count reaches zero. '
'Some common\n'
' situations that may prevent the reference count of an '
'object from\n'
' going to zero include: circular references between '
'objects (e.g.,\n'
' a doubly-linked list or a tree data structure with '
'parent and\n'
' child pointers); a reference to the object on the '
'stack frame of\n'
' a function that caught an exception (the traceback '
'stored in\n'
' "sys.exc_traceback" keeps the stack frame alive); or a '
'reference\n'
' to the object on the stack frame that raised an '
'unhandled\n'
' exception in interactive mode (the traceback stored '
'in\n'
' "sys.last_traceback" keeps the stack frame alive). '
'The first\n'
' situation can only be remedied by explicitly breaking '
'the cycles;\n'
' the latter two situations can be resolved by storing '
'"None" in\n'
' "sys.exc_traceback" or "sys.last_traceback". Circular '
'references\n'
' which are garbage are detected when the option cycle '
'detector is\n'
" enabled (it's on by default), but can only be cleaned "
'up if there\n'
' are no Python-level "__del__()" methods involved. '
'Refer to the\n'
' documentation for the "gc" module for more information '
'about how\n'
' "__del__()" methods are handled by the cycle '
'detector,\n'
' particularly the description of the "garbage" value.\n'
'\n'
' Warning: Due to the precarious circumstances under '
'which\n'
' "__del__()" methods are invoked, exceptions that occur '
'during\n'
' their execution are ignored, and a warning is printed '
'to\n'
' "sys.stderr" instead. Also, when "__del__()" is '
'invoked in\n'
' response to a module being deleted (e.g., when '
'execution of the\n'
' program is done), other globals referenced by the '
'"__del__()"\n'
' method may already have been deleted or in the process '
'of being\n'
' torn down (e.g. the import machinery shutting down). '
'For this\n'
' reason, "__del__()" methods should do the absolute '
'minimum needed\n'
' to maintain external invariants. Starting with '
'version 1.5,\n'
' Python guarantees that globals whose name begins with '
'a single\n'
' underscore are deleted from their module before other '
'globals are\n'
' deleted; if no other references to such globals exist, '
'this may\n'
' help in assuring that imported modules are still '
'available at the\n'
' time when the "__del__()" method is called.\n'
'\n'
' See also the "-R" command-line option.\n'

'object.__repr__(self)\n'
'\n'
' Called by the "repr()" built-in function and by string '

' New in version 2.1.\n'
'\n'
' These are the so-called "rich comparison" methods, and '
'are called\n'
' for comparison operators in preference to "__cmp__()" '
'below. The\n'
' correspondence between operator symbols and method names '
'is as\n'
' follows: "x<y" calls "x.__lt__(y)", "x<=y" calls '
'"x.__le__(y)",\n'
' "x==y" calls "x.__eq__(y)", "x!=y" and "x<>y" call '
'"x.__ne__(y)",\n'
' "x>y" calls "x.__gt__(y)", and "x>=y" calls '
'"x.__ge__(y)".\n'
'\n'
' A rich comparison method may return the singleton '
'"NotImplemented"\n'
' if it does not implement the operation for a given pair '
'of\n'
' arguments. By convention, "False" and "True" are '
'returned for a\n'
' successful comparison. However, these methods can return '
'any value,\n'
' so if the comparison operator is used in a Boolean '
'context (e.g.,\n'
' in the condition of an "if" statement), Python will call '
'"bool()"\n'
' on the value to determine if the result is true or '
'false.\n'
'\n'
' There are no implied relationships among the comparison '
'operators.\n'
' The truth of "x==y" does not imply that "x!=y" is '
'false.\n'
' Accordingly, when defining "__eq__()", one should also '
'define\n'
' "__ne__()" so that the operators will behave as '
'expected. See the\n'
' paragraph on "__hash__()" for some important notes on '
'creating\n'
' *hashable* objects which support custom comparison '
'operations and\n'
' are usable as dictionary keys.\n'
'\n'
' There are no swapped-argument versions of these methods '
'(to be used\n'
' when the left argument does not support the operation '
'but the right\n'
' argument does); rather, "__lt__()" and "__gt__()" are '
"each other's\n"
' reflection, "__le__()" and "__ge__()" are each other\'s '
'reflection,\n'
' and "__eq__()" and "__ne__()" are their own reflection.\n'
'\n'

' "__hash__()" should return an integer. The only '

' is that objects which compare equal have the same hash '
'value; it is\n'
' advised to mix together the hash values of the '
'components of the\n'

'packing\n'
' them into a tuple and hashing the tuple. Example:\n'
'\n'
' def __hash__(self):\n'
' return hash((self.name, self.nick, self.color))\n'
'\n'

' "__cmp__()" or "__eq__()" but not "__hash__()", its '
'instances will\n'
' not be usable in hashed collections. If a class defines '
'mutable\n'
' objects and implements a "__cmp__()" or "__eq__()" '
'method, it\n'
' should not implement "__hash__()", since hashable '
'collection\n'
" implementations require that an object's hash value is "
'immutable\n'
" (if the object's hash value changes, it will be in the "
'wrong hash\n'

'\n'
' User-defined classes have "__cmp__()" and "__hash__()" '

' Classes which inherit a "__hash__()" method from a '

' change the meaning of "__cmp__()" or "__eq__()" such '
'that the hash\n'
' value returned is no longer appropriate (e.g. by '
'switching to a\n'
' value-based concept of equality instead of the default '
'identity\n'
' based equality) can explicitly flag themselves as being '
'unhashable\n'
' by setting "__hash__ = None" in the class definition. '
'Doing so\n'
' means that not only will instances of the class raise '
'an\n'
' appropriate "TypeError" when a program attempts to '
'retrieve their\n'
' hash value, but they will also be correctly identified '
'as\n'
' unhashable when checking "isinstance(obj, '
'collections.Hashable)"\n'
' (unlike classes which define their own "__hash__()" to '
'explicitly\n'
' raise "TypeError").\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.5: "__hash__()" may now also return '
'a long\n'
' integer object; the 32-bit integer is then derived from '
'the hash of\n'

'======================================================================\n'
'\n'
'The module "pdb" defines an interactive source code debugger '
'for\n'
'Python programs. It supports setting (conditional) breakpoints '
'and\n'
'single stepping at the source line level, inspection of stack '
'frames,\n'
'source code listing, and evaluation of arbitrary Python code in '
'the\n'
'context of any stack frame. It also supports post-mortem '
'debugging\n'
'and can be called under program control.\n'
'\n'
'The debugger is extensible --- it is actually defined as the '

'"Pdb". This is currently undocumented but easily understood by '
'reading\n'
'the source. The extension interface uses the modules "bdb" and '
'"cmd".\n'
'\n'
'The debugger\'s prompt is "(Pdb)". Typical usage to run a '

'scripts. For\n'
'example:\n'
'\n'
' python -m pdb myscript.py\n'
'\n'
'When invoked as a script, pdb will automatically enter '
'post-mortem\n'
'debugging if the program being debugged exits abnormally. After '
'post-\n'
'mortem debugging (or after normal exit of the program), pdb '
'will\n'
"restart the program. Automatic restarting preserves pdb's state "

'encoded string, an open file object, a code object, or a tuple. If '
'it\n'
'is a string, the string is parsed as a suite of Python statements\n'
'which is then executed (unless a syntax error occurs). [1] If it is '
'an\n'
'open file, the file is parsed until EOF and executed. If it is a '
'code\n'
'object, it is simply executed. For the interpretation of a tuple, '
'see\n'
"below. In all cases, the code that's executed is expected to be "

'as file input (see section File input). Be aware that the "return"\n'
'and "yield" statements may not be used outside of function '
'definitions\n'
'even within the context of code passed to the "exec" statement.\n'
'\n'
'In all cases, if the optional parts are omitted, the code is '
'executed\n'
'in the current scope. If only the first expression after "in" is\n'

'are used for the global and local variables, respectively. If\n'
'provided, *locals* can be any mapping object. Remember that at '
'module\n'
'level, globals and locals are the same dictionary. If two separate\n'
'objects are given as *globals* and *locals*, the code will be '
'executed\n'
'as if it were embedded in a class definition.\n'
'\n'
'The first expression may also be a tuple of length 2 or 3. In this\n'

'Naming and binding\n'
'==================\n'
'\n'
'*Names* refer to objects. Names are introduced by name '
'binding\n'
'operations. Each occurrence of a name in the program text '
'refers to\n'
'the *binding* of that name established in the innermost '
'function block\n'
'containing the use.\n'
'\n'
'A *block* is a piece of Python program text that is executed as '
'a\n'
'unit. The following are blocks: a module, a function body, and '
'a class\n'
'definition. Each command typed interactively is a block. A '
'script\n'
'file (a file given as standard input to the interpreter or '
'specified\n'
'on the interpreter command line the first argument) is a code '
'block.\n'
'A script command (a command specified on the interpreter '
'command line\n'
"with the '**-c**' option) is a code block. The file read by "
'the\n'
'built-in function "execfile()" is a code block. The string '
'argument\n'
'passed to the built-in function "eval()" and to the "exec" '
'statement\n'
'is a code block. The expression read and evaluated by the '
'built-in\n'
'function "input()" is a code block.\n'
'\n'
'A code block is executed in an *execution frame*. A frame '
'contains\n'
'some administrative information (used for debugging) and '
'determines\n'
"where and how execution continues after the code block's "
'execution has\n'
'completed.\n'
'\n'
'A *scope* defines the visibility of a name within a block. If '
'a local\n'
'variable is defined in a block, its scope includes that block. '
'If the\n'
'definition occurs in a function block, the scope extends to any '
'blocks\n'
'contained within the defining one, unless a contained block '
'introduces\n'
'a different binding for the name. The scope of names defined '
'in a\n'
'class block is limited to the class block; it does not extend '
'to the\n'
'code blocks of methods -- this includes generator expressions '
'since\n'
'they are implemented using a function scope. This means that '
'the\n'
'following will fail:\n'
'\n'
' class A:\n'
' a = 42\n'
' b = list(a + i for i in range(10))\n'
'\n'
'When a name is used in a code block, it is resolved using the '
'nearest\n'
'enclosing scope. The set of all such scopes visible to a code '
'block\n'
"is called the block's *environment*.\n"
'\n'
'If a name is bound in a block, it is a local variable of that '
'block.\n'
'If a name is bound at the module level, it is a global '
'variable. (The\n'
'variables of the module code block are local and global.) If '
'a\n'
'variable is used in a code block but not defined there, it is a '
'*free\n'
'variable*.\n'
'\n'
'When a name is not found at all, a "NameError" exception is '
'raised.\n'
'If the name refers to a local variable that has not been bound, '
'a\n'
'"UnboundLocalError" exception is raised. "UnboundLocalError" '
'is a\n'
'subclass of "NameError".\n'
'\n'
'The following constructs bind names: formal parameters to '
'functions,\n'
'"import" statements, class and function definitions (these bind '
'the\n'
'class or function name in the defining block), and targets that '
'are\n'
'identifiers if occurring in an assignment, "for" loop header, '
'in the\n'
'second position of an "except" clause header or after "as" in a '
'"with"\n'
'statement. The "import" statement of the form "from ... import '
'*"\n'
'binds all names defined in the imported module, except those '
'beginning\n'
'with an underscore. This form may only be used at the module '
'level.\n'
'\n'
'A target occurring in a "del" statement is also considered '
'bound for\n'
'this purpose (though the actual semantics are to unbind the '
'name). It\n'
'is illegal to unbind a name that is referenced by an enclosing '
'scope;\n'
'the compiler will report a "SyntaxError".\n'
'\n'
'Each assignment or import statement occurs within a block '
'defined by a\n'
'class or function definition or at the module level (the '
'top-level\n'
'code block).\n'
'\n'
'If a name binding operation occurs anywhere within a code '
'block, all\n'
'uses of the name within the block are treated as references to '
'the\n'
'current block. This can lead to errors when a name is used '
'within a\n'
'block before it is bound. This rule is subtle. Python lacks\n'
'declarations and allows name binding operations to occur '
'anywhere\n'
'within a code block. The local variables of a code block can '
'be\n'
'determined by scanning the entire text of the block for name '
'binding\n'
'operations.\n'
'\n'
'If the global statement occurs within a block, all uses of the '
'name\n'
'specified in the statement refer to the binding of that name in '
'the\n'
'top-level namespace. Names are resolved in the top-level '
'namespace by\n'
'searching the global namespace, i.e. the namespace of the '
'module\n'
'containing the code block, and the builtins namespace, the '

'of the module "__builtin__". The global namespace is searched '
'first.\n'
'If the name is not found there, the builtins namespace is '
'searched.\n'
'The global statement must precede all uses of the name.\n'
'\n'
'The builtins namespace associated with the execution of a code '

'is actually found by looking up the name "__builtins__" in its '

"the module's dictionary is used). By default, when in the "
'"__main__"\n'
'module, "__builtins__" is the built-in module "__builtin__" '
'(note: no\n'
'\'s\'); when in any other module, "__builtins__" is an alias '
'for the\n'
'dictionary of the "__builtin__" module itself. "__builtins__" '

'Users\n'
'wanting to override values in the builtins namespace should '

'\n'
'The namespace for a module is automatically created the first '
'time a\n'
'module is imported. The main module for a script is always '
'called\n'

'The "global" statement has the same scope as a name binding '

'is actually an expression composed of the unary operator "-" and '
'the\n'
'literal "1".\n',
'for': '\n'
'The "for" statement\n'
'*******************\n'
'\n'
'The "for" statement is used to iterate over the elements of a '
'sequence\n'
'(such as a string, tuple or list) or other iterable object:\n'
'\n'
' for_stmt ::= "for" target_list "in" expression_list ":" suite\n'
' ["else" ":" suite]\n'
'\n'
'The expression list is evaluated once; it should yield an iterable\n'
'object. An iterator is created for the result of the\n'
'"expression_list". The suite is then executed once for each item\n'
'provided by the iterator, in the order of ascending indices. Each\n'
'item in turn is assigned to the target list using the standard rules\n'
'for assignments, and then the suite is executed. When the items are\n'
'exhausted (which is immediately when the sequence is empty), the '
'suite\n'
'in the "else" clause, if present, is executed, and the loop\n'
'terminates.\n'
'\n'
'A "break" statement executed in the first suite terminates the loop\n'
'without executing the "else" clause\'s suite. A "continue" '
'statement\n'
'executed in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and '
'continues\n'
'with the next item, or with the "else" clause if there was no next\n'
'item.\n'
'\n'
'The suite may assign to the variable(s) in the target list; this '
'does\n'
'not affect the next item assigned to it.\n'
'\n'
'The target list is not deleted when the loop is finished, but if the\n'
'sequence is empty, it will not have been assigned to at all by the\n'
'loop. Hint: the built-in function "range()" returns a sequence of\n'
'integers suitable to emulate the effect of Pascal\'s "for i := a to '
'b\n'
'do"; e.g., "range(3)" returns the list "[0, 1, 2]".\n'
'\n'
'Note: There is a subtlety when the sequence is being modified by the\n'
' loop (this can only occur for mutable sequences, i.e. lists). An\n'
' internal counter is used to keep track of which item is used next,\n'
' and this is incremented on each iteration. When this counter has\n'
' reached the length of the sequence the loop terminates. This '
'means\n'
' that if the suite deletes the current (or a previous) item from '
'the\n'
' sequence, the next item will be skipped (since it gets the index '
'of\n'
' the current item which has already been treated). Likewise, if '
'the\n'
' suite inserts an item in the sequence before the current item, the\n'
' current item will be treated again the next time through the loop.\n'
' This can lead to nasty bugs that can be avoided by making a\n'
' temporary copy using a slice of the whole sequence, e.g.,\n'
'\n'
' for x in a[:]:\n'
' if x < 0: a.remove(x)\n',

'Format String Syntax\n'
'********************\n'
'\n'
'The "str.format()" method and the "Formatter" class share '
'the same\n'
'syntax for format strings (although in the case of '
'"Formatter",\n'
'subclasses can define their own format string syntax).\n'
'\n'
'Format strings contain "replacement fields" surrounded by '
'curly braces\n'
'"{}". Anything that is not contained in braces is '
'considered literal\n'
'text, which is copied unchanged to the output. If you need '
'to include\n'
'a brace character in the literal text, it can be escaped by '
'doubling:\n'
'"{{" and "}}".\n'
'\n'
'The grammar for a replacement field is as follows:\n'
'\n'
' replacement_field ::= "{" [field_name] ["!" '
'conversion] [":" format_spec] "}"\n'
' field_name ::= arg_name ("." attribute_name | '
'"[" element_index "]")*\n'
' arg_name ::= [identifier | integer]\n'
' attribute_name ::= identifier\n'
' element_index ::= integer | index_string\n'
' index_string ::= <any source character except '
'"]"> +\n'
' conversion ::= "r" | "s"\n'
' format_spec ::= <described in the next '
'section>\n'
'\n'
'In less formal terms, the replacement field can start with '
'a\n'
'*field_name* that specifies the object whose value is to be '
'formatted\n'
'and inserted into the output instead of the replacement '
'field. The\n'
'*field_name* is optionally followed by a *conversion* '
'field, which is\n'
'preceded by an exclamation point "\'!\'", and a '
'*format_spec*, which is\n'
'preceded by a colon "\':\'". These specify a non-default '
'format for the\n'
'replacement value.\n'
'\n'
'See also the Format Specification Mini-Language section.\n'
'\n'
'The *field_name* itself begins with an *arg_name* that is '
'either a\n'
"number or a keyword. If it's a number, it refers to a "
'positional\n'
"argument, and if it's a keyword, it refers to a named "
'keyword\n'
'argument. If the numerical arg_names in a format string '
'are 0, 1, 2,\n'
'... in sequence, they can all be omitted (not just some) '
'and the\n'
'numbers 0, 1, 2, ... will be automatically inserted in that '
'order.\n'
'Because *arg_name* is not quote-delimited, it is not '
'possible to\n'
'specify arbitrary dictionary keys (e.g., the strings '
'"\'10\'" or\n'
'"\':-]\'") within a format string. The *arg_name* can be '
'followed by any\n'
'number of index or attribute expressions. An expression of '
'the form\n'
'"\'.name\'" selects the named attribute using "getattr()", '
'while an\n'
'expression of the form "\'[index]\'" does an index lookup '
'using\n'
'"__getitem__()".\n'
'\n'
'Changed in version 2.7: The positional argument specifiers '
'can be\n'
'omitted, so "\'{} {}\'" is equivalent to "\'{0} {1}\'".\n'
'\n'
'Some simple format string examples:\n'
'\n'
' "First, thou shalt count to {0}" # References first '
'positional argument\n'
' "Bring me a {}" # Implicitly '
'references the first positional argument\n'
' "From {} to {}" # Same as "From {0} to '
'{1}"\n'
' "My quest is {name}" # References keyword '
"argument 'name'\n"
' "Weight in tons {0.weight}" # \'weight\' attribute '
'of first positional arg\n'
' "Units destroyed: {players[0]}" # First element of '
"keyword argument 'players'.\n"
'\n'
'The *conversion* field causes a type coercion before '
'formatting.\n'
'Normally, the job of formatting a value is done by the '
'"__format__()"\n'
'method of the value itself. However, in some cases it is '
'desirable to\n'
'force a type to be formatted as a string, overriding its '
'own\n'
'definition of formatting. By converting the value to a '
'string before\n'
'calling "__format__()", the normal formatting logic is '
'bypassed.\n'
'\n'
'Two conversion flags are currently supported: "\'!s\'" '
'which calls\n'
'"str()" on the value, and "\'!r\'" which calls "repr()".\n'
'\n'
'Some examples:\n'
'\n'
' "Harold\'s a clever {0!s}" # Calls str() on the '
'argument first\n'
' "Bring out the holy {name!r}" # Calls repr() on the '
'argument first\n'
'\n'
'The *format_spec* field contains a specification of how the '
'value\n'
'should be presented, including such details as field width, '
'alignment,\n'
'padding, decimal precision and so on. Each value type can '
'define its\n'
'own "formatting mini-language" or interpretation of the '
'*format_spec*.\n'
'\n'
'Most built-in types support a common formatting '
'mini-language, which\n'
'is described in the next section.\n'
'\n'
'A *format_spec* field can also include nested replacement '
'fields\n'
'within it. These nested replacement fields may contain a '
'field name,\n'
'conversion flag and format specification, but deeper '
'nesting is not\n'
'allowed. The replacement fields within the format_spec '
'are\n'
'substituted before the *format_spec* string is interpreted. '
'This\n'
'allows the formatting of a value to be dynamically '
'specified.\n'
'\n'
'See the Format examples section for some examples.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Format Specification Mini-Language\n'
'==================================\n'
'\n'
'"Format specifications" are used within replacement fields '
'contained\n'
'within a format string to define how individual values are '
'presented\n'
'(see Format String Syntax). They can also be passed '
'directly to the\n'
'built-in "format()" function. Each formattable type may '
'define how\n'
'the format specification is to be interpreted.\n'
'\n'
'Most built-in types implement the following options for '
'format\n'
'specifications, although some of the formatting options are '
'only\n'
'supported by the numeric types.\n'
'\n'
'A general convention is that an empty format string ("""") '
'produces\n'
'the same result as if you had called "str()" on the value. '
'A non-empty\n'
'format string typically modifies the result.\n'
'\n'
'The general form of a *standard format specifier* is:\n'
'\n'
' format_spec ::= '
'[[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][,][.precision][type]\n'
' fill ::= <any character>\n'
' align ::= "<" | ">" | "=" | "^"\n'
' sign ::= "+" | "-" | " "\n'
' width ::= integer\n'
' precision ::= integer\n'
' type ::= "b" | "c" | "d" | "e" | "E" | "f" | "F" '
'| "g" | "G" | "n" | "o" | "s" | "x" | "X" | "%"\n'
'\n'
'If a valid *align* value is specified, it can be preceded '
'by a *fill*\n'
'character that can be any character and defaults to a space '
'if\n'
'omitted. It is not possible to use a literal curly brace '
'(""{"" or\n'
'""}"") as the *fill* character when using the '
'"str.format()" method.\n'
'However, it is possible to insert a curly brace with a '
'nested\n'
"replacement field. This limitation doesn't affect the "
'"format()"\n'
'function.\n'
'\n'
'The meaning of the various alignment options is as '
'follows:\n'
'\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | Option | '
'Meaning '
'|\n'
' '
'+===========+============================================================+\n'
' | "\'<\'" | Forces the field to be left-aligned '
'within the available |\n'
' | | space (this is the default for most '
'objects). |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'>\'" | Forces the field to be right-aligned '
'within the available |\n'
' | | space (this is the default for '
'numbers). |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'=\'" | Forces the padding to be placed after '
'the sign (if any) |\n'
' | | but before the digits. This is used for '
'printing fields |\n'
" | | in the form '+000000120'. This alignment "
'option is only |\n'
' | | valid for numeric types. It becomes the '
"default when '0' |\n"
' | | immediately precedes the field '
'width. |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'^\'" | Forces the field to be centered within '
'the available |\n'
' | | '
'space. '
'|\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
'\n'
'Note that unless a minimum field width is defined, the '
'field width\n'
'will always be the same size as the data to fill it, so '
'that the\n'
'alignment option has no meaning in this case.\n'
'\n'
'The *sign* option is only valid for number types, and can '
'be one of\n'
'the following:\n'
'\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | Option | '
'Meaning '
'|\n'
' '
'+===========+============================================================+\n'
' | "\'+\'" | indicates that a sign should be used for '
'both positive as |\n'
' | | well as negative '
'numbers. |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'-\'" | indicates that a sign should be used '
'only for negative |\n'
' | | numbers (this is the default '
'behavior). |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | space | indicates that a leading space should be '
'used on positive |\n'
' | | numbers, and a minus sign on negative '
'numbers. |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
'\n'
'The "\'#\'" option is only valid for integers, and only for '
'binary,\n'
'octal, or hexadecimal output. If present, it specifies '
'that the\n'
'output will be prefixed by "\'0b\'", "\'0o\'", or "\'0x\'", '
'respectively.\n'
'\n'
'The "\',\'" option signals the use of a comma for a '
'thousands separator.\n'
'For a locale aware separator, use the "\'n\'" integer '
'presentation type\n'
'instead.\n'
'\n'
'Changed in version 2.7: Added the "\',\'" option (see also '
'**PEP 378**).\n'
'\n'
'*width* is a decimal integer defining the minimum field '
'width. If not\n'
'specified, then the field width will be determined by the '
'content.\n'
'\n'
'When no explicit alignment is given, preceding the *width* '
'field by a\n'
'zero ("\'0\'") character enables sign-aware zero-padding '
'for numeric\n'
'types. This is equivalent to a *fill* character of "\'0\'" '
'with an\n'
'*alignment* type of "\'=\'".\n'
'\n'
'The *precision* is a decimal number indicating how many '
'digits should\n'
'be displayed after the decimal point for a floating point '
'value\n'
'formatted with "\'f\'" and "\'F\'", or before and after the '
'decimal point\n'
'for a floating point value formatted with "\'g\'" or '
'"\'G\'". For non-\n'
'number types the field indicates the maximum field size - '
'in other\n'
'words, how many characters will be used from the field '
'content. The\n'
'*precision* is not allowed for integer values.\n'
'\n'
'Finally, the *type* determines how the data should be '
'presented.\n'
'\n'
'The available string presentation types are:\n'
'\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | Type | '
'Meaning '
'|\n'
' '
'+===========+============================================================+\n'
' | "\'s\'" | String format. This is the default type '
'for strings and |\n'
' | | may be '
'omitted. |\n'

'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'c\'" | Character. Converts the integer to the '
'corresponding |\n'
' | | unicode character before '

' | "\'d\'" | Decimal Integer. Outputs the number in '

' | "\'o\'" | Octal format. Outputs the number in base '
'8. |\n'
' '

' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'n\'" | Number. This is the same as "\'d\'", '

'\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | Type | '
'Meaning '
'|\n'
' '
'+===========+============================================================+\n'
' | "\'e\'" | Exponent notation. Prints the number in '
'scientific |\n'
" | | notation using the letter 'e' to indicate "
'the exponent. |\n'
' | | The default precision is '
'"6". |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'E\'" | Exponent notation. Same as "\'e\'" '
'except it uses an upper |\n'
" | | case 'E' as the separator "
'character. |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'f\'" | Fixed point. Displays the number as a '

'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'F\'" | Fixed point. Same as '

' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'g\'" | General format. For a given precision '
'"p >= 1", this |\n'
' | | rounds the number to "p" significant '
'digits and then |\n'
' | | formats the result in either fixed-point '
'format or in |\n'
' | | scientific notation, depending on its '
'magnitude. The |\n'
' | | precise rules are as follows: suppose that '
'the result |\n'
' | | formatted with presentation type "\'e\'" '
'and precision "p-1" |\n'
' | | would have exponent "exp". Then if "-4 <= '
'exp < p", the |\n'
' | | number is formatted with presentation type '
'"\'f\'" and |\n'
' | | precision "p-1-exp". Otherwise, the '
'number is formatted |\n'
' | | with presentation type "\'e\'" and '
'precision "p-1". In both |\n'
' | | cases insignificant trailing zeros are '
'removed from the |\n'
' | | significand, and the decimal point is also '
'removed if |\n'
' | | there are no remaining digits following '
'it. Positive and |\n'
' | | negative infinity, positive and negative '
'zero, and nans, |\n'
' | | are formatted as "inf", "-inf", "0", "-0" '
'and "nan" |\n'
' | | respectively, regardless of the '
'precision. A precision of |\n'
' | | "0" is treated as equivalent to a '
'precision of "1". The |\n'
' | | default precision is '
'"6". |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'G\'" | General format. Same as "\'g\'" except '

'appropriate number |\n'
' | | separator '
'characters. |\n'
' '
'+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+\n'
' | "\'%\'" | Percentage. Multiplies the number by 100 '
'and displays in |\n'

' decorated ::= decorators (classdef | funcdef)\n'
' decorators ::= decorator+\n'
' decorator ::= "@" dotted_name ["(" [argument_list [","]] '

' funcdef ::= "def" funcname "(" [parameter_list] ")" '

'\n'
'A function definition is an executable statement. Its execution '
'binds\n'
'the function name in the current local namespace to a function '
'object\n'
'(a wrapper around the executable code for the function). This\n'
'function object contains a reference to the current global '
'namespace\n'
'as the global namespace to be used when the function is called.\n'
'\n'
'The function definition does not execute the function body; this '
'gets\n'
'executed only when the function is called. [3]\n'
'\n'
'A function definition may be wrapped by one or more *decorator*\n'
'expressions. Decorator expressions are evaluated when the '
'function is\n'
'defined, in the scope that contains the function definition. '
'The\n'
'result must be a callable, which is invoked with the function '
'object\n'
'as the only argument. The returned value is bound to the '
'function name\n'
'instead of the function object. Multiple decorators are applied '
'in\n'
'nested fashion. For example, the following code:\n'
'\n'
' @f1(arg)\n'
' @f2\n'
' def func(): pass\n'
'\n'
'is equivalent to:\n'
'\n'
' def func(): pass\n'
' func = f1(arg)(f2(func))\n'
'\n'
'When one or more top-level *parameters* have the form '
'*parameter* "="\n'
'*expression*, the function is said to have "default parameter '
'values."\n'
'For a parameter with a default value, the corresponding '
'*argument* may\n'
"be omitted from a call, in which case the parameter's default "
'value is\n'
'substituted. If a parameter has a default value, all following\n'
'parameters must also have a default value --- this is a '
'syntactic\n'
'restriction that is not expressed by the grammar.\n'
'\n'
'**Default parameter values are evaluated when the function '
'definition\n'
'is executed.** This means that the expression is evaluated '
'once, when\n'
'the function is defined, and that the same "pre-computed" value '
'is\n'
'used for each call. This is especially important to understand '
'when a\n'
'default parameter is a mutable object, such as a list or a '
'dictionary:\n'
'if the function modifies the object (e.g. by appending an item '
'to a\n'
'list), the default value is in effect modified. This is '
'generally not\n'
'what was intended. A way around this is to use "None" as the\n'
'default, and explicitly test for it in the body of the function, '
'e.g.:\n'
'\n'
' def whats_on_the_telly(penguin=None):\n'
' if penguin is None:\n'
' penguin = []\n'
' penguin.append("property of the zoo")\n'
' return penguin\n'
'\n'
'Function call semantics are described in more detail in section '
'Calls.\n'
'A function call always assigns values to all parameters '
'mentioned in\n'
'the parameter list, either from position arguments, from '
'keyword\n'
'arguments, or from default values. If the form ""*identifier"" '
'is\n'
'present, it is initialized to a tuple receiving any excess '
'positional\n'
'parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple. If the form\n'
'""**identifier"" is present, it is initialized to a new '
'dictionary\n'
'receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a new '
'empty\n'
'dictionary.\n'
'\n'
'It is also possible to create anonymous functions (functions not '
'bound\n'
'to a name), for immediate use in expressions. This uses lambda\n'
'expressions, described in section Lambdas. Note that the '
'lambda\n'
'expression is merely a shorthand for a simplified function '
'definition;\n'
'a function defined in a ""def"" statement can be passed around '
'or\n'
'assigned to another name just like a function defined by a '
'lambda\n'
'expression. The ""def"" form is actually more powerful since '
'it\n'
'allows the execution of multiple statements.\n'
'\n'
"**Programmer's note:** Functions are first-class objects. A "
'""def""\n'
'form executed inside a function definition defines a local '
'function\n'

'modules cannot contain other modules or packages. From a file '

'Once the name of the module is known (unless otherwise specified, '
'the\n'
'term "module" will refer to both packages and modules), searching '
'for\n'
'the module or package can begin. The first place checked is\n'
'"sys.modules", the cache of all modules that have been imported\n'
'previously. If the module is found there then it is used in step '
'(2)\n'

'\n'
'If the module is not found in the cache, then "sys.meta_path" is\n'

'**PEP\n'
'302**). The object is a list of *finder* objects which are queried '
'in\n'
'order as to whether they know how to load the module by calling '
'their\n'
'"find_module()" method with the name of the module. If the module\n'
'happens to be contained within a package (as denoted by the '
'existence\n'
'of a dot in the name), then a second argument to "find_module()" '
'is\n'
'given as the value of the "__path__" attribute from the parent '
'package\n'
'(everything up to the last dot in the name of the module being\n'
'imported). If a finder can find the module it returns a *loader*\n'
'(discussed later) or returns "None".\n'
'\n'
'If none of the finders on "sys.meta_path" are able to find the '
'module\n'
'then some implicitly defined finders are queried. Implementations '
'of\n'
'Python vary in what implicit meta path finders are defined. The '
'one\n'
'they all do define, though, is one that handles "sys.path_hooks",\n'
'"sys.path_importer_cache", and "sys.path".\n'
'\n'
'The implicit finder searches for the requested module in the '
'"paths"\n'
'specified in one of two places ("paths" do not have to be file '
'system\n'
'paths). If the module being imported is supposed to be contained\n'
'within a package then the second argument passed to '
'"find_module()",\n'
'"__path__" on the parent package, is used as the source of paths. '
'If\n'
'the module is not contained in a package then "sys.path" is used '
'as\n'
'the source of paths.\n'
'\n'
'Once the source of paths is chosen it is iterated over to find a\n'
'finder that can handle that path. The dict at\n'
'"sys.path_importer_cache" caches finders for paths and is checked '
'for\n'
'a finder. If the path does not have a finder cached then\n'
'"sys.path_hooks" is searched by calling each object in the list '
'with a\n'
'single argument of the path, returning a finder or raises\n'
'"ImportError". If a finder is returned then it is cached in\n'
'"sys.path_importer_cache" and then used for that path entry. If '
'no\n'
'finder can be found but the path exists then a value of "None" is\n'
'stored in "sys.path_importer_cache" to signify that an implicit, '
'file-\n'
'based finder that handles modules stored as individual files '
'should be\n'
'used for that path. If the path does not exist then a finder '
'which\n'
'always returns "None" is placed in the cache for the path.\n'
'\n'
'If no finder can find the module then "ImportError" is raised.\n'
'Otherwise some finder returned a loader whose "load_module()" '
'method\n'
'is called with the name of the module to load (see **PEP 302** for '
'the\n'
'original definition of loaders). A loader has several '
'responsibilities\n'
'to perform on a module it loads. First, if the module already '
'exists\n'
'in "sys.modules" (a possibility if the loader is called outside of '
'the\n'
'import machinery) then it is to use that module for initialization '
'and\n'
'not a new module. But if the module does not exist in '
'"sys.modules"\n'
'then it is to be added to that dict before initialization begins. '
'If\n'
'an error occurs during loading of the module and it was added to\n'
'"sys.modules" it is to be removed from the dict. If an error '
'occurs\n'
'but the module was already in "sys.modules" it is left in the '
'dict.\n'
'\n'
'The loader must set several attributes on the module. "__name__" '
'is to\n'
'be set to the name of the module. "__file__" is to be the "path" '
'to\n'
'the file unless the module is built-in (and thus listed in\n'
'"sys.builtin_module_names") in which case the attribute is not '
'set. If\n'
'what is being imported is a package then "__path__" is to be set '
'to a\n'
'list of paths to be searched when looking for modules and '
'packages\n'
'contained within the package being imported. "__package__" is '
'optional\n'
'but should be set to the name of package that contains the module '
'or\n'
'package (the empty string is used for module not contained in a\n'
'package). "__loader__" is also optional but should be set to the\n'
'loader object that is loading the module.\n'
'\n'
'If an error occurs during loading then the loader raises '
'"ImportError"\n'
'if some other exception is not already being propagated. Otherwise '
'the\n'
'loader returns the module that was loaded and initialized.\n'
'\n'
'When step (1) finishes without raising an exception, step (2) can\n'
'begin.\n'
'\n'
'The first form of "import" statement binds the module name in the\n'
'local namespace to the module object, and then goes on to import '
'the\n'
'next identifier, if any. If the module name is followed by "as", '
'the\n'
'name following "as" is used as the local name for the module.\n'
'\n'
'The "from" form does not bind the module name: it goes through '
'the\n'
'list of identifiers, looks each one of them up in the module found '
'in\n'
'step (1), and binds the name in the local namespace to the object '
'thus\n'
'found. As with the first form of "import", an alternate local '
'name\n'
'can be supplied by specifying ""as" localname". If a name is not\n'
'found, "ImportError" is raised. If the list of identifiers is\n'
'replaced by a star ("\'*\'"), all public names defined in the '
'module are\n'
'bound in the local namespace of the "import" statement..\n'
'\n'
'The *public names* defined by a module are determined by checking '
'the\n'
'module\'s namespace for a variable named "__all__"; if defined, it '
'must\n'
'be a sequence of strings which are names defined or imported by '
'that\n'
'module. The names given in "__all__" are all considered public '
'and\n'
'are required to exist. If "__all__" is not defined, the set of '
'public\n'
"names includes all names found in the module's namespace which do "
'not\n'
'begin with an underscore character ("\'_\'"). "__all__" should '
'contain\n'
'the entire public API. It is intended to avoid accidentally '
'exporting\n'
'items that are not part of the API (such as library modules which '
'were\n'
'imported and used within the module).\n'
'\n'
'The "from" form with "*" may only occur in a module scope. If '
'the\n'
'wild card form of import --- "import *" --- is used in a function '
'and\n'
'the function contains or is a nested block with free variables, '
'the\n'
'compiler will raise a "SyntaxError".\n'
'\n'
'When specifying what module to import you do not have to specify '
'the\n'
'absolute name of the module. When a module or package is '
'contained\n'
'within another package it is possible to make a relative import '
'within\n'
'the same top package without having to mention the package name. '
'By\n'
'using leading dots in the specified module or package after "from" '
'you\n'
'can specify how high to traverse up the current package hierarchy\n'
'without specifying exact names. One leading dot means the current\n'
'package where the module making the import exists. Two dots means '
'up\n'
'one package level. Three dots is up two levels, etc. So if you '
'execute\n'
'"from . import mod" from a module in the "pkg" package then you '
'will\n'
'end up importing "pkg.mod". If you execute "from ..subpkg2 import '
'mod"\n'

'the *binding* of that name established in the innermost function '
'block\n'
'containing the use.\n'
'\n'
'A *block* is a piece of Python program text that is executed as a\n'
'unit. The following are blocks: a module, a function body, and a '
'class\n'
'definition. Each command typed interactively is a block. A '
'script\n'
'file (a file given as standard input to the interpreter or '
'specified\n'
'on the interpreter command line the first argument) is a code '
'block.\n'
'A script command (a command specified on the interpreter command '
'line\n'
"with the '**-c**' option) is a code block. The file read by the\n"
'built-in function "execfile()" is a code block. The string '
'argument\n'
'passed to the built-in function "eval()" and to the "exec" '
'statement\n'
'is a code block. The expression read and evaluated by the '
'built-in\n'
'function "input()" is a code block.\n'
'\n'
'A code block is executed in an *execution frame*. A frame '
'contains\n'
'some administrative information (used for debugging) and '
'determines\n'
"where and how execution continues after the code block's execution "
'has\n'
'completed.\n'
'\n'
'A *scope* defines the visibility of a name within a block. If a '
'local\n'
'variable is defined in a block, its scope includes that block. If '
'the\n'
'definition occurs in a function block, the scope extends to any '
'blocks\n'
'contained within the defining one, unless a contained block '
'introduces\n'
'a different binding for the name. The scope of names defined in '
'a\n'
'class block is limited to the class block; it does not extend to '
'the\n'
'code blocks of methods -- this includes generator expressions '
'since\n'
'they are implemented using a function scope. This means that the\n'
'following will fail:\n'

' class A:\n'
' a = 42\n'
' b = list(a + i for i in range(10))\n'

'The following constructs bind names: formal parameters to '

'beginning\n'
'with an underscore. This form may only be used at the module '

'A target occurring in a "del" statement is also considered bound '

'the\n'
'current block. This can lead to errors when a name is used within '

'an\n'
'object itself). The *value* of some objects can change. '
'Objects\n'
'whose value can change are said to be *mutable*; objects whose '
'value\n'
'is unchangeable once they are created are called *immutable*. '
'(The\n'
'value of an immutable container object that contains a reference '
'to a\n'
"mutable object can change when the latter's value is changed; "
'however\n'
'the container is still considered immutable, because the '
'collection of\n'
'objects it contains cannot be changed. So, immutability is not\n'
'strictly the same as having an unchangeable value, it is more '
'subtle.)\n'
"An object's mutability is determined by its type; for instance,\n"
'numbers, strings and tuples are immutable, while dictionaries '
'and\n'
'lists are mutable.\n'
'\n'
'Objects are never explicitly destroyed; however, when they '
'become\n'
'unreachable they may be garbage-collected. An implementation is\n'
'allowed to postpone garbage collection or omit it altogether --- '
'it is\n'
'a matter of implementation quality how garbage collection is\n'
'implemented, as long as no objects are collected that are still\n'
'reachable.\n'
'\n'
'**CPython implementation detail:** CPython currently uses a '
'reference-\n'
'counting scheme with (optional) delayed detection of cyclically '
'linked\n'
'garbage, which collects most objects as soon as they become\n'
'unreachable, but is not guaranteed to collect garbage containing\n'
'circular references. See the documentation of the "gc" module '
'for\n'
'information on controlling the collection of cyclic garbage. '
'Other\n'
'implementations act differently and CPython may change. Do not '
'depend\n'
'on immediate finalization of objects when they become unreachable '
'(ex:\n'
'always close files).\n'
'\n'
"Note that the use of the implementation's tracing or debugging\n"
'facilities may keep objects alive that would normally be '
'collectable.\n'
'Also note that catching an exception with a \'"try"..."except"\'\n'
'statement may keep objects alive.\n'
'\n'
'Some objects contain references to "external" resources such as '
'open\n'
'files or windows. It is understood that these resources are '
'freed\n'
'when the object is garbage-collected, but since garbage '
'collection is\n'
'not guaranteed to happen, such objects also provide an explicit '
'way to\n'
'release the external resource, usually a "close()" method. '
'Programs\n'
'are strongly recommended to explicitly close such objects. The\n'
'\'"try"..."finally"\' statement provides a convenient way to do '
'this.\n'
'\n'
'Some objects contain references to other objects; these are '
'called\n'
'*containers*. Examples of containers are tuples, lists and\n'
"dictionaries. The references are part of a container's value. "
'In\n'
'most cases, when we talk about the value of a container, we imply '
'the\n'
'values, not the identities of the contained objects; however, '
'when we\n'
'talk about the mutability of a container, only the identities of '
'the\n'
'immediately contained objects are implied. So, if an immutable\n'
'container (like a tuple) contains a reference to a mutable '
'object, its\n'
'value changes if that mutable object is changed.\n'
'\n'
'Types affect almost all aspects of object behavior. Even the\n'
'importance of object identity is affected in some sense: for '
'immutable\n'
'types, operations that compute new values may actually return a\n'
'reference to any existing object with the same type and value, '
'while\n'
'for mutable objects this is not allowed. E.g., after "a = 1; b = '
'1",\n'
'"a" and "b" may or may not refer to the same object with the '
'value\n'
'one, depending on the implementation, but after "c = []; d = []", '
'"c"\n'
'and "d" are guaranteed to refer to two different, unique, newly\n'
'created empty lists. (Note that "c = d = []" assigns the same '

'[1] In Python 2.3 and later releases, a list '
'comprehension "leaks"\n'
' the control variables of each "for" it contains into '
'the\n'
' containing scope. However, this behavior is '
'deprecated, and\n'
' relying on it will not work in Python 3.\n'
'\n'
'[2] While "abs(x%y) < abs(y)" is true mathematically, '
'for floats\n'
' it may not be true numerically due to roundoff. For '
'example, and\n'
' assuming a platform on which a Python float is an '
'IEEE 754 double-\n'
' precision number, in order that "-1e-100 % 1e100" '
'have the same\n'
' sign as "1e100", the computed result is "-1e-100 + '
'1e100", which\n'
' is numerically exactly equal to "1e100". The '
'function\n'
' "math.fmod()" returns a result whose sign matches '
'the sign of the\n'
' first argument instead, and so returns "-1e-100" in '
'this case.\n'
' Which approach is more appropriate depends on the '
'application.\n'
'\n'
'[3] If x is very close to an exact integer multiple of '
"y, it's\n"
' possible for "floor(x/y)" to be one larger than '
'"(x-x%y)/y" due to\n'
' rounding. In such cases, Python returns the latter '
'result, in\n'
' order to preserve that "divmod(x,y)[0] * y + x % y" '
'be very close\n'
' to "x".\n'
'\n'
'[4] The Unicode standard distinguishes between *code '
'points* (e.g.\n'
' U+0041) and *abstract characters* (e.g. "LATIN '
'CAPITAL LETTER A").\n'
' While most abstract characters in Unicode are only '
'represented\n'
' using one code point, there is a number of abstract '
'characters\n'
' that can in addition be represented using a sequence '
'of more than\n'
' one code point. For example, the abstract character '
'"LATIN\n'
' CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA" can be represented as '
'a single\n'
' *precomposed character* at code position U+00C7, or '
'as a sequence\n'
' of a *base character* at code position U+0043 (LATIN '
'CAPITAL\n'
' LETTER C), followed by a *combining character* at '
'code position\n'
' U+0327 (COMBINING CEDILLA).\n'
'\n'
' The comparison operators on unicode strings compare '
'at the level\n'
' of Unicode code points. This may be '
'counter-intuitive to humans.\n'
' For example, "u"\\u00C7" == u"\\u0043\\u0327"" is '
'"False", even\n'
' though both strings represent the same abstract '
'character "LATIN\n'
' CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA".\n'
'\n'
' To compare strings at the level of abstract '
'characters (that is,\n'
' in a way intuitive to humans), use '
'"unicodedata.normalize()".\n'
'\n'
'[5] Earlier versions of Python used lexicographic '
'comparison of\n'
' the sorted (key, value) lists, but this was very '
'expensive for the\n'
' common case of comparing for equality. An even '
'earlier version of\n'
' Python compared dictionaries by identity only, but '
'this caused\n'
' surprises because people expected to be able to test '
'a dictionary\n'
' for emptiness by comparing it to "{}".\n'
'\n'
'[6] Due to automatic garbage-collection, free lists, and '
'the\n'
' dynamic nature of descriptors, you may notice '
'seemingly unusual\n'
' behaviour in certain uses of the "is" operator, like '
'those\n'
' involving comparisons between instance methods, or '
'constants.\n'
' Check their documentation for more info.\n'

'[7] The "%" operator is also used for string formatting; '
'the same\n'
' precedence applies.\n'

'first converted to a common type. The result type is that of the\n'

'\n'
'With mixed operand types, the coercion rules for binary arithmetic\n'
'operators apply. For int and long int operands, the result has the\n'
'same type as the operands (after coercion) unless the second '
'argument\n'
'is negative; in that case, all arguments are converted to float and '
'a\n'
'float result is delivered. For example, "10**2" returns "100", but\n'
'"10**-2" returns "0.01". (This last feature was added in Python '

'range of items. (For backwards compatibility, the method\n'

'\n'
'The shifting operations have lower priority than the arithmetic\n'
'operations:\n'
'\n'
' shift_expr ::= a_expr | shift_expr ( "<<" | ">>" ) a_expr\n'
'\n'
'These operators accept plain or long integers as arguments. '
'The\n'
'arguments are converted to a common type. They shift the first\n'
'argument to the left or right by the number of bits given by '
'the\n'

'A right shift by *n* bits is defined as division by "pow(2, '

'left shift by *n* bits is defined as multiplication with "pow(2, '
'n)".\n'
'Negative shift counts raise a "ValueError" exception.\n'
'\n'
'Note: In the current implementation, the right-hand operand is\n'

'********\n'
'\n'
'A slicing selects a range of items in a sequence object (e.g., '
'a\n'
'string, tuple or list). Slicings may be used as expressions or '
'as\n'
'targets in assignment or "del" statements. The syntax for a '
'slicing:\n'
'\n'
' slicing ::= simple_slicing | extended_slicing\n'
' simple_slicing ::= primary "[" short_slice "]"\n'
' extended_slicing ::= primary "[" slice_list "]"\n'
' slice_list ::= slice_item ("," slice_item)* [","]\n'
' slice_item ::= expression | proper_slice | ellipsis\n'
' proper_slice ::= short_slice | long_slice\n'
' short_slice ::= [lower_bound] ":" [upper_bound]\n'
' long_slice ::= short_slice ":" [stride]\n'
' lower_bound ::= expression\n'
' upper_bound ::= expression\n'
' stride ::= expression\n'
' ellipsis ::= "..."\n'
'\n'
'There is ambiguity in the formal syntax here: anything that '
'looks like\n'
'an expression list also looks like a slice list, so any '
'subscription\n'
'can be interpreted as a slicing. Rather than further '
'complicating the\n'
'syntax, this is disambiguated by defining that in this case the\n'
'interpretation as a subscription takes priority over the\n'
'interpretation as a slicing (this is the case if the slice list\n'
'contains no proper slice nor ellipses). Similarly, when the '
'slice\n'
'list has exactly one short slice and no trailing comma, the\n'
'interpretation as a simple slicing takes priority over that as '
'an\n'
'extended slicing.\n'
'\n'
'The semantics for a simple slicing are as follows. The primary '
'must\n'
'evaluate to a sequence object. The lower and upper bound '
'expressions,\n'
'if present, must evaluate to plain integers; defaults are zero '
'and the\n'
'"sys.maxint", respectively. If either bound is negative, the\n'
"sequence's length is added to it. The slicing now selects all "
'items\n'
'with index *k* such that "i <= k < j" where *i* and *j* are the\n'
'specified lower and upper bounds. This may be an empty '
'sequence. It\n'
'is not an error if *i* or *j* lie outside the range of valid '
'indexes\n'
"(such items don't exist so they aren't selected).\n"
'\n'
'The semantics for an extended slicing are as follows. The '
'primary\n'
'must evaluate to a mapping object, and it is indexed with a key '
'that\n'
'is constructed from the slice list, as follows. If the slice '
'list\n'
'contains at least one comma, the key is a tuple containing the\n'
'conversion of the slice items; otherwise, the conversion of the '
'lone\n'
'slice item is the key. The conversion of a slice item that is '
'an\n'
'expression is that expression. The conversion of an ellipsis '
'slice\n'
'item is the built-in "Ellipsis" object. The conversion of a '
'proper\n'
'slice is a slice object (see section The standard type '
'hierarchy)\n'
'whose "start", "stop" and "step" attributes are the values of '
'the\n'
'expressions given as lower bound, upper bound and stride,\n'
'respectively, substituting "None" for missing expressions.\n',

'A class can implement certain operations that are invoked by '
'special\n'
'syntax (such as arithmetic operations or subscripting and '
'slicing) by\n'
"defining methods with special names. This is Python's "
'approach to\n'
'*operator overloading*, allowing classes to define their own '
'behavior\n'
'with respect to language operators. For instance, if a '
'class defines\n'
'a method named "__getitem__()", and "x" is an instance of '
'this class,\n'
'then "x[i]" is roughly equivalent to "x.__getitem__(i)" for '
'old-style\n'
'classes and "type(x).__getitem__(x, i)" for new-style '
'classes. Except\n'
'where mentioned, attempts to execute an operation raise an '
'exception\n'
'when no appropriate method is defined (typically '
'"AttributeError" or\n'
'"TypeError").\n'
'\n'
'When implementing a class that emulates any built-in type, '
'it is\n'
'important that the emulation only be implemented to the '
'degree that it\n'
'makes sense for the object being modelled. For example, '
'some\n'
'sequences may work well with retrieval of individual '
'elements, but\n'
'extracting a slice may not make sense. (One example of this '
'is the\n'
'"NodeList" interface in the W3C\'s Document Object Model.)\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Basic customization\n'
'===================\n'
'\n'
'object.__new__(cls[, ...])\n'
'\n'
' Called to create a new instance of class *cls*. '
'"__new__()" is a\n'
' static method (special-cased so you need not declare it '
'as such)\n'
' that takes the class of which an instance was requested '
'as its\n'
' first argument. The remaining arguments are those passed '
'to the\n'
' object constructor expression (the call to the class). '
'The return\n'
' value of "__new__()" should be the new object instance '
'(usually an\n'
' instance of *cls*).\n'
'\n'
' Typical implementations create a new instance of the '
'class by\n'
' invoking the superclass\'s "__new__()" method using\n'
' "super(currentclass, cls).__new__(cls[, ...])" with '
'appropriate\n'
' arguments and then modifying the newly-created instance '
'as\n'
' necessary before returning it.\n'
'\n'
' If "__new__()" returns an instance of *cls*, then the '
'new\n'
' instance\'s "__init__()" method will be invoked like\n'
' "__init__(self[, ...])", where *self* is the new instance '
'and the\n'
' remaining arguments are the same as were passed to '
'"__new__()".\n'
'\n'
' If "__new__()" does not return an instance of *cls*, then '
'the new\n'
' instance\'s "__init__()" method will not be invoked.\n'
'\n'
' "__new__()" is intended mainly to allow subclasses of '
'immutable\n'
' types (like int, str, or tuple) to customize instance '
'creation. It\n'
' is also commonly overridden in custom metaclasses in '
'order to\n'
' customize class creation.\n'
'\n'
'object.__init__(self[, ...])\n'
'\n'
' Called after the instance has been created (by '
'"__new__()"), but\n'
' before it is returned to the caller. The arguments are '
'those\n'
' passed to the class constructor expression. If a base '
'class has an\n'
' "__init__()" method, the derived class\'s "__init__()" '
'method, if\n'
' any, must explicitly call it to ensure proper '
'initialization of the\n'
' base class part of the instance; for example:\n'
' "BaseClass.__init__(self, [args...])".\n'
'\n'
' Because "__new__()" and "__init__()" work together in '
'constructing\n'
' objects ("__new__()" to create it, and "__init__()" to '
'customise\n'
' it), no non-"None" value may be returned by "__init__()"; '
'doing so\n'
' will cause a "TypeError" to be raised at runtime.\n'
'\n'
'object.__del__(self)\n'
'\n'
' Called when the instance is about to be destroyed. This '
'is also\n'
' called a destructor. If a base class has a "__del__()" '
'method, the\n'
' derived class\'s "__del__()" method, if any, must '
'explicitly call it\n'
' to ensure proper deletion of the base class part of the '
'instance.\n'
' Note that it is possible (though not recommended!) for '
'the\n'
' "__del__()" method to postpone destruction of the '
'instance by\n'
' creating a new reference to it. It may then be called at '
'a later\n'
' time when this new reference is deleted. It is not '
'guaranteed that\n'
' "__del__()" methods are called for objects that still '
'exist when\n'
' the interpreter exits.\n'
'\n'
' Note: "del x" doesn\'t directly call "x.__del__()" --- '
'the former\n'
' decrements the reference count for "x" by one, and the '
'latter is\n'
' only called when "x"\'s reference count reaches zero. '
'Some common\n'
' situations that may prevent the reference count of an '
'object from\n'
' going to zero include: circular references between '
'objects (e.g.,\n'
' a doubly-linked list or a tree data structure with '
'parent and\n'
' child pointers); a reference to the object on the stack '
'frame of\n'
' a function that caught an exception (the traceback '
'stored in\n'
' "sys.exc_traceback" keeps the stack frame alive); or a '
'reference\n'
' to the object on the stack frame that raised an '
'unhandled\n'
' exception in interactive mode (the traceback stored in\n'
' "sys.last_traceback" keeps the stack frame alive). The '
'first\n'
' situation can only be remedied by explicitly breaking '
'the cycles;\n'
' the latter two situations can be resolved by storing '
'"None" in\n'
' "sys.exc_traceback" or "sys.last_traceback". Circular '
'references\n'
' which are garbage are detected when the option cycle '
'detector is\n'
" enabled (it's on by default), but can only be cleaned "
'up if there\n'
' are no Python-level "__del__()" methods involved. Refer '
'to the\n'
' documentation for the "gc" module for more information '
'about how\n'
' "__del__()" methods are handled by the cycle detector,\n'
' particularly the description of the "garbage" value.\n'
'\n'
' Warning: Due to the precarious circumstances under which\n'
' "__del__()" methods are invoked, exceptions that occur '
'during\n'
' their execution are ignored, and a warning is printed '
'to\n'
' "sys.stderr" instead. Also, when "__del__()" is invoked '
'in\n'
' response to a module being deleted (e.g., when '
'execution of the\n'
' program is done), other globals referenced by the '
'"__del__()"\n'
' method may already have been deleted or in the process '
'of being\n'
' torn down (e.g. the import machinery shutting down). '
'For this\n'
' reason, "__del__()" methods should do the absolute '
'minimum needed\n'
' to maintain external invariants. Starting with version '
'1.5,\n'
' Python guarantees that globals whose name begins with a '
'single\n'
' underscore are deleted from their module before other '
'globals are\n'
' deleted; if no other references to such globals exist, '
'this may\n'
' help in assuring that imported modules are still '
'available at the\n'
' time when the "__del__()" method is called.\n'
'\n'
' See also the "-R" command-line option.\n'
'\n'
'object.__repr__(self)\n'
'\n'
' Called by the "repr()" built-in function and by string '
'conversions\n'
' (reverse quotes) to compute the "official" string '
'representation of\n'
' an object. If at all possible, this should look like a '
'valid\n'
' Python expression that could be used to recreate an '
'object with the\n'
' same value (given an appropriate environment). If this '
'is not\n'
' possible, a string of the form "<...some useful '
'description...>"\n'
' should be returned. The return value must be a string '
'object. If a\n'
' class defines "__repr__()" but not "__str__()", then '
'"__repr__()"\n'
' is also used when an "informal" string representation of '
'instances\n'

' This is typically used for debugging, so it is important '
'that the\n'
' representation is information-rich and unambiguous.\n'

'not have to\n'
' be a valid Python expression: a more convenient or '
'concise\n'

' New in version 2.1.\n'
'\n'
' These are the so-called "rich comparison" methods, and '
'are called\n'
' for comparison operators in preference to "__cmp__()" '
'below. The\n'
' correspondence between operator symbols and method names '
'is as\n'
' follows: "x<y" calls "x.__lt__(y)", "x<=y" calls '
'"x.__le__(y)",\n'
' "x==y" calls "x.__eq__(y)", "x!=y" and "x<>y" call '
'"x.__ne__(y)",\n'
' "x>y" calls "x.__gt__(y)", and "x>=y" calls '
'"x.__ge__(y)".\n'
'\n'
' A rich comparison method may return the singleton '
'"NotImplemented"\n'
' if it does not implement the operation for a given pair '
'of\n'
' arguments. By convention, "False" and "True" are returned '
'for a\n'
' successful comparison. However, these methods can return '
'any value,\n'
' so if the comparison operator is used in a Boolean '
'context (e.g.,\n'
' in the condition of an "if" statement), Python will call '
'"bool()"\n'
' on the value to determine if the result is true or '
'false.\n'
'\n'
' There are no implied relationships among the comparison '
'operators.\n'
' The truth of "x==y" does not imply that "x!=y" is false.\n'
' Accordingly, when defining "__eq__()", one should also '
'define\n'
' "__ne__()" so that the operators will behave as '
'expected. See the\n'
' paragraph on "__hash__()" for some important notes on '
'creating\n'
' *hashable* objects which support custom comparison '
'operations and\n'
' are usable as dictionary keys.\n'
'\n'
' There are no swapped-argument versions of these methods '
'(to be used\n'
' when the left argument does not support the operation but '
'the right\n'
' argument does); rather, "__lt__()" and "__gt__()" are '
"each other's\n"
' reflection, "__le__()" and "__ge__()" are each other\'s '
'reflection,\n'
' and "__eq__()" and "__ne__()" are their own reflection.\n'
'\n'
' Arguments to rich comparison methods are never coerced.\n'

' zero if "self == other", a positive integer if "self > '
'other". If\n'
' no "__cmp__()", "__eq__()" or "__ne__()" operation is '

'on members\n'
' of hashed collections including "set", "frozenset", and '
'"dict".\n'
' "__hash__()" should return an integer. The only required '
'property\n'
' is that objects which compare equal have the same hash '
'value; it is\n'
' advised to mix together the hash values of the components '
'of the\n'
' object that also play a part in comparison of objects by '
'packing\n'
' them into a tuple and hashing the tuple. Example:\n'
'\n'
' def __hash__(self):\n'
' return hash((self.name, self.nick, self.color))\n'
'\n'
' If a class does not define a "__cmp__()" or "__eq__()" '
'method it\n'
' should not define a "__hash__()" operation either; if it '
'defines\n'
' "__cmp__()" or "__eq__()" but not "__hash__()", its '
'instances will\n'
' not be usable in hashed collections. If a class defines '
'mutable\n'
' objects and implements a "__cmp__()" or "__eq__()" '
'method, it\n'
' should not implement "__hash__()", since hashable '
'collection\n'
" implementations require that an object's hash value is "
'immutable\n'
" (if the object's hash value changes, it will be in the "
'wrong hash\n'
' bucket).\n'
'\n'
' User-defined classes have "__cmp__()" and "__hash__()" '
'methods by\n'
' default; with them, all objects compare unequal (except '
'with\n'
' themselves) and "x.__hash__()" returns a result derived '
'from\n'
' "id(x)".\n'
'\n'
' Classes which inherit a "__hash__()" method from a parent '
'class but\n'
' change the meaning of "__cmp__()" or "__eq__()" such that '
'the hash\n'
' value returned is no longer appropriate (e.g. by '
'switching to a\n'
' value-based concept of equality instead of the default '
'identity\n'
' based equality) can explicitly flag themselves as being '
'unhashable\n'
' by setting "__hash__ = None" in the class definition. '
'Doing so\n'
' means that not only will instances of the class raise an\n'
' appropriate "TypeError" when a program attempts to '
'retrieve their\n'
' hash value, but they will also be correctly identified '
'as\n'
' unhashable when checking "isinstance(obj, '
'collections.Hashable)"\n'
' (unlike classes which define their own "__hash__()" to '
'explicitly\n'
' raise "TypeError").\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.5: "__hash__()" may now also return '
'a long\n'
' integer object; the 32-bit integer is then derived from '
'the hash of\n'
' that object.\n'

'defined,\n'
' "__len__()" is called, if it is defined, and the object '
'is\n'
' considered true if its result is nonzero. If a class '

' Unicode using the system default encoding.\n'

'\n'
'Customizing attribute access\n'
'============================\n'
'\n'
'The following methods can be defined to customize the '
'meaning of\n'
'attribute access (use of, assignment to, or deletion of '
'"x.name") for\n'
'class instances.\n'
'\n'
'object.__getattr__(self, name)\n'
'\n'
' Called when an attribute lookup has not found the '
'attribute in the\n'
' usual places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute nor is '
'it found\n'
' in the class tree for "self"). "name" is the attribute '
'name. This\n'
' method should return the (computed) attribute value or '
'raise an\n'
' "AttributeError" exception.\n'
'\n'
' Note that if the attribute is found through the normal '
'mechanism,\n'
' "__getattr__()" is not called. (This is an intentional '
'asymmetry\n'
' between "__getattr__()" and "__setattr__()".) This is '
'done both for\n'
' efficiency reasons and because otherwise "__getattr__()" '
'would have\n'
' no way to access other attributes of the instance. Note '
'that at\n'
' least for instance variables, you can fake total control '
'by not\n'
' inserting any values in the instance attribute dictionary '
'(but\n'
' instead inserting them in another object). See the\n'
' "__getattribute__()" method below for a way to actually '
'get total\n'
' control in new-style classes.\n'
'\n'
'object.__setattr__(self, name, value)\n'
'\n'
' Called when an attribute assignment is attempted. This '
'is called\n'
' instead of the normal mechanism (i.e. store the value in '
'the\n'
' instance dictionary). *name* is the attribute name, '
'*value* is the\n'
' value to be assigned to it.\n'
'\n'
' If "__setattr__()" wants to assign to an instance '
'attribute, it\n'
' should not simply execute "self.name = value" --- this '
'would cause\n'
' a recursive call to itself. Instead, it should insert '
'the value in\n'
' the dictionary of instance attributes, e.g., '
'"self.__dict__[name] =\n'
' value". For new-style classes, rather than accessing the '
'instance\n'
' dictionary, it should call the base class method with the '
'same\n'
' name, for example, "object.__setattr__(self, name, '
'value)".\n'
'\n'
'object.__delattr__(self, name)\n'
'\n'
' Like "__setattr__()" but for attribute deletion instead '
'of\n'
' assignment. This should only be implemented if "del '
'obj.name" is\n'

'More attribute access for new-style classes\n'
'-------------------------------------------\n'
'\n'
'The following methods only apply to new-style classes.\n'
'\n'
'object.__getattribute__(self, name)\n'
'\n'
' Called unconditionally to implement attribute accesses '
'for\n'
' instances of the class. If the class also defines '
'"__getattr__()",\n'
' the latter will not be called unless "__getattribute__()" '
'either\n'
' calls it explicitly or raises an "AttributeError". This '
'method\n'
' should return the (computed) attribute value or raise an\n'
' "AttributeError" exception. In order to avoid infinite '
'recursion in\n'
' this method, its implementation should always call the '
'base class\n'
' method with the same name to access any attributes it '
'needs, for\n'
' example, "object.__getattribute__(self, name)".\n'
'\n'
' Note: This method may still be bypassed when looking up '
'special\n'
' methods as the result of implicit invocation via '
'language syntax\n'
' or built-in functions. See Special method lookup for '
'new-style\n'
' classes.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Implementing Descriptors\n'
'------------------------\n'
'\n'
'The following methods only apply when an instance of the '
'class\n'
'containing the method (a so-called *descriptor* class) '
'appears in an\n'
"*owner* class (the descriptor must be in either the owner's "
'class\n'
'dictionary or in the class dictionary for one of its '
'parents). In the\n'
'examples below, "the attribute" refers to the attribute '
'whose name is\n'
'the key of the property in the owner class\' "__dict__".\n'
'\n'
'object.__get__(self, instance, owner)\n'
'\n'
' Called to get the attribute of the owner class (class '
'attribute\n'
' access) or of an instance of that class (instance '
'attribute\n'
' access). *owner* is always the owner class, while '
'*instance* is the\n'
' instance that the attribute was accessed through, or '
'"None" when\n'
' the attribute is accessed through the *owner*. This '
'method should\n'
' return the (computed) attribute value or raise an '
'"AttributeError"\n'
' exception.\n'
'\n'
'object.__set__(self, instance, value)\n'
'\n'
' Called to set the attribute on an instance *instance* of '
'the owner\n'
' class to a new value, *value*.\n'
'\n'
'object.__delete__(self, instance)\n'
'\n'
' Called to delete the attribute on an instance *instance* '
'of the\n'
' owner class.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Invoking Descriptors\n'
'--------------------\n'
'\n'
'In general, a descriptor is an object attribute with '
'"binding\n'
'behavior", one whose attribute access has been overridden by '
'methods\n'
'in the descriptor protocol: "__get__()", "__set__()", and\n'
'"__delete__()". If any of those methods are defined for an '
'object, it\n'
'is said to be a descriptor.\n'
'\n'
'The default behavior for attribute access is to get, set, or '
'delete\n'
"the attribute from an object's dictionary. For instance, "
'"a.x" has a\n'
'lookup chain starting with "a.__dict__[\'x\']", then\n'
'"type(a).__dict__[\'x\']", and continuing through the base '
'classes of\n'
'"type(a)" excluding metaclasses.\n'
'\n'
'However, if the looked-up value is an object defining one of '
'the\n'
'descriptor methods, then Python may override the default '
'behavior and\n'
'invoke the descriptor method instead. Where this occurs in '
'the\n'
'precedence chain depends on which descriptor methods were '
'defined and\n'
'how they were called. Note that descriptors are only '
'invoked for new\n'
'style objects or classes (ones that subclass "object()" or '
'"type()").\n'
'\n'
'The starting point for descriptor invocation is a binding, '
'"a.x". How\n'
'the arguments are assembled depends on "a":\n'
'\n'
'Direct Call\n'
' The simplest and least common call is when user code '
'directly\n'
' invokes a descriptor method: "x.__get__(a)".\n'
'\n'
'Instance Binding\n'
' If binding to a new-style object instance, "a.x" is '
'transformed\n'
' into the call: "type(a).__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(a, '
'type(a))".\n'
'\n'
'Class Binding\n'
' If binding to a new-style class, "A.x" is transformed '
'into the\n'
' call: "A.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(None, A)".\n'
'\n'
'Super Binding\n'
' If "a" is an instance of "super", then the binding '
'"super(B,\n'
' obj).m()" searches "obj.__class__.__mro__" for the base '
'class "A"\n'
' immediately preceding "B" and then invokes the descriptor '
'with the\n'
' call: "A.__dict__[\'m\'].__get__(obj, obj.__class__)".\n'
'\n'
'For instance bindings, the precedence of descriptor '
'invocation depends\n'
'on the which descriptor methods are defined. A descriptor '
'can define\n'
'any combination of "__get__()", "__set__()" and '
'"__delete__()". If it\n'
'does not define "__get__()", then accessing the attribute '
'will return\n'
'the descriptor object itself unless there is a value in the '
"object's\n"
'instance dictionary. If the descriptor defines "__set__()" '
'and/or\n'
'"__delete__()", it is a data descriptor; if it defines '
'neither, it is\n'
'a non-data descriptor. Normally, data descriptors define '
'both\n'
'"__get__()" and "__set__()", while non-data descriptors have '
'just the\n'
'"__get__()" method. Data descriptors with "__set__()" and '
'"__get__()"\n'
'defined always override a redefinition in an instance '
'dictionary. In\n'
'contrast, non-data descriptors can be overridden by '
'instances.\n'
'\n'
'Python methods (including "staticmethod()" and '
'"classmethod()") are\n'
'implemented as non-data descriptors. Accordingly, instances '
'can\n'
'redefine and override methods. This allows individual '
'instances to\n'
'acquire behaviors that differ from other instances of the '
'same class.\n'
'\n'
'The "property()" function is implemented as a data '
'descriptor.\n'
'Accordingly, instances cannot override the behavior of a '
'property.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'__slots__\n'
'---------\n'
'\n'
'By default, instances of both old and new-style classes have '
'a\n'
'dictionary for attribute storage. This wastes space for '
'objects\n'
'having very few instance variables. The space consumption '
'can become\n'
'acute when creating large numbers of instances.\n'
'\n'
'The default can be overridden by defining *__slots__* in a '
'new-style\n'
'class definition. The *__slots__* declaration takes a '
'sequence of\n'
'instance variables and reserves just enough space in each '
'instance to\n'
'hold a value for each variable. Space is saved because '
'*__dict__* is\n'
'not created for each instance.\n'
'\n'
'__slots__\n'
'\n'
' This class variable can be assigned a string, iterable, '
'or sequence\n'
' of strings with variable names used by instances. If '
'defined in a\n'
' new-style class, *__slots__* reserves space for the '
'declared\n'
' variables and prevents the automatic creation of '
'*__dict__* and\n'
' *__weakref__* for each instance.\n'
'\n'
' New in version 2.2.\n'
'\n'
'Notes on using *__slots__*\n'
'\n'
'* When inheriting from a class without *__slots__*, the '
'*__dict__*\n'
' attribute of that class will always be accessible, so a '
'*__slots__*\n'
' definition in the subclass is meaningless.\n'
'\n'
'* Without a *__dict__* variable, instances cannot be '
'assigned new\n'
' variables not listed in the *__slots__* definition. '
'Attempts to\n'
' assign to an unlisted variable name raises '
'"AttributeError". If\n'
' dynamic assignment of new variables is desired, then add\n'
' "\'__dict__\'" to the sequence of strings in the '
'*__slots__*\n'
' declaration.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding "\'__dict__\'" '
'to the\n'
' *__slots__* declaration would not enable the assignment of '
'new\n'
' attributes not specifically listed in the sequence of '
'instance\n'
' variable names.\n'
'\n'
'* Without a *__weakref__* variable for each instance, '
'classes\n'
' defining *__slots__* do not support weak references to '
'its\n'
' instances. If weak reference support is needed, then add\n'
' "\'__weakref__\'" to the sequence of strings in the '
'*__slots__*\n'
' declaration.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding '
'"\'__weakref__\'" to the\n'
' *__slots__* declaration would not enable support for weak\n'
' references.\n'
'\n'
'* *__slots__* are implemented at the class level by '
'creating\n'
' descriptors (Implementing Descriptors) for each variable '
'name. As a\n'
' result, class attributes cannot be used to set default '
'values for\n'
' instance variables defined by *__slots__*; otherwise, the '
'class\n'
' attribute would overwrite the descriptor assignment.\n'
'\n'
'* The action of a *__slots__* declaration is limited to the '
'class\n'
' where it is defined. As a result, subclasses will have a '
'*__dict__*\n'
' unless they also define *__slots__* (which must only '
'contain names\n'
' of any *additional* slots).\n'
'\n'
'* If a class defines a slot also defined in a base class, '
'the\n'
' instance variable defined by the base class slot is '
'inaccessible\n'
' (except by retrieving its descriptor directly from the '
'base class).\n'
' This renders the meaning of the program undefined. In the '
'future, a\n'
' check may be added to prevent this.\n'
'\n'
'* Nonempty *__slots__* does not work for classes derived '
'from\n'
' "variable-length" built-in types such as "long", "str" and '
'"tuple".\n'
'\n'
'* Any non-string iterable may be assigned to *__slots__*. '
'Mappings\n'
' may also be used; however, in the future, special meaning '
'may be\n'
' assigned to the values corresponding to each key.\n'
'\n'
'* *__class__* assignment works only if both classes have the '
'same\n'
' *__slots__*.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.6: Previously, *__class__* assignment '
'raised an\n'
' error if either new or old class had *__slots__*.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Customizing class creation\n'
'==========================\n'
'\n'
'By default, new-style classes are constructed using '
'"type()". A class\n'
'definition is read into a separate namespace and the value '
'of class\n'
'name is bound to the result of "type(name, bases, dict)".\n'
'\n'
'When the class definition is read, if *__metaclass__* is '
'defined then\n'
'the callable assigned to it will be called instead of '
'"type()". This\n'
'allows classes or functions to be written which monitor or '
'alter the\n'
'class creation process:\n'
'\n'
'* Modifying the class dictionary prior to the class being '
'created.\n'
'\n'
'* Returning an instance of another class -- essentially '
'performing\n'
' the role of a factory function.\n'
'\n'
"These steps will have to be performed in the metaclass's "
'"__new__()"\n'
'method -- "type.__new__()" can then be called from this '
'method to\n'
'create a class with different properties. This example adds '
'a new\n'
'element to the class dictionary before creating the class:\n'
'\n'
' class metacls(type):\n'
' def __new__(mcs, name, bases, dict):\n'
" dict['foo'] = 'metacls was here'\n"
' return type.__new__(mcs, name, bases, dict)\n'
'\n'
'You can of course also override other class methods (or add '
'new\n'
'methods); for example defining a custom "__call__()" method '
'in the\n'
'metaclass allows custom behavior when the class is called, '
'e.g. not\n'
'always creating a new instance.\n'
'\n'
'__metaclass__\n'
'\n'
' This variable can be any callable accepting arguments for '
'"name",\n'
' "bases", and "dict". Upon class creation, the callable '
'is used\n'
' instead of the built-in "type()".\n'
'\n'
' New in version 2.2.\n'
'\n'
'The appropriate metaclass is determined by the following '
'precedence\n'
'rules:\n'
'\n'
'* If "dict[\'__metaclass__\']" exists, it is used.\n'
'\n'
'* Otherwise, if there is at least one base class, its '
'metaclass is\n'
' used (this looks for a *__class__* attribute first and if '
'not found,\n'
' uses its type).\n'
'\n'
'* Otherwise, if a global variable named __metaclass__ '
'exists, it is\n'
' used.\n'
'\n'
'* Otherwise, the old-style, classic metaclass '
'(types.ClassType) is\n'
' used.\n'
'\n'
'The potential uses for metaclasses are boundless. Some ideas '
'that have\n'
'been explored including logging, interface checking, '
'automatic\n'
'delegation, automatic property creation, proxies, '
'frameworks, and\n'

'\n'
'\n'
'Emulating container types\n'
'=========================\n'
'\n'
'The following methods can be defined to implement container '
'objects.\n'
'Containers usually are sequences (such as lists or tuples) '
'or mappings\n'
'(like dictionaries), but can represent other containers as '
'well. The\n'
'first set of methods is used either to emulate a sequence or '
'to\n'
'emulate a mapping; the difference is that for a sequence, '
'the\n'
'allowable keys should be the integers *k* for which "0 <= k '
'< N" where\n'
'*N* is the length of the sequence, or slice objects, which '
'define a\n'
'range of items. (For backwards compatibility, the method\n'
'"__getslice__()" (see below) can also be defined to handle '
'simple, but\n'
'not extended slices.) It is also recommended that mappings '
'provide the\n'
'methods "keys()", "values()", "items()", "has_key()", '
'"get()",\n'
'"clear()", "setdefault()", "iterkeys()", "itervalues()",\n'
'"iteritems()", "pop()", "popitem()", "copy()", and '
'"update()" behaving\n'
"similar to those for Python's standard dictionary objects. "
'The\n'
'"UserDict" module provides a "DictMixin" class to help '
'create those\n'
'methods from a base set of "__getitem__()", '
'"__setitem__()",\n'
'"__delitem__()", and "keys()". Mutable sequences should '
'provide\n'
'methods "append()", "count()", "index()", "extend()", '
'"insert()",\n'
'"pop()", "remove()", "reverse()" and "sort()", like Python '
'standard\n'
'list objects. Finally, sequence types should implement '
'addition\n'
'(meaning concatenation) and multiplication (meaning '
'repetition) by\n'
'defining the methods "__add__()", "__radd__()", '
'"__iadd__()",\n'
'"__mul__()", "__rmul__()" and "__imul__()" described below; '
'they\n'
'should not define "__coerce__()" or other numerical '
'operators. It is\n'
'recommended that both mappings and sequences implement the\n'
'"__contains__()" method to allow efficient use of the "in" '
'operator;\n'
'for mappings, "in" should be equivalent of "has_key()"; for '
'sequences,\n'
'it should search through the values. It is further '
'recommended that\n'
'both mappings and sequences implement the "__iter__()" '
'method to allow\n'
'efficient iteration through the container; for mappings, '
'"__iter__()"\n'
'should be the same as "iterkeys()"; for sequences, it should '
'iterate\n'
'through the values.\n'
'\n'
'object.__len__(self)\n'
'\n'
' Called to implement the built-in function "len()". '
'Should return\n'
' the length of the object, an integer ">=" 0. Also, an '

' doesn\'t define a "__nonzero__()" method and whose '
'"__len__()"\n'
' method returns zero is considered to be false in a '
'Boolean context.\n'
'\n'
' **CPython implementation detail:** In CPython, the length '
'is\n'
' required to be at most "sys.maxsize". If the length is '
'larger than\n'
' "sys.maxsize" some features (such as "len()") may raise\n'
' "OverflowError". To prevent raising "OverflowError" by '
'truth value\n'
' testing, an object must define a "__nonzero__()" method.\n'
'\n'
'object.__getitem__(self, key)\n'

'sequence types,\n'
' the accepted keys should be integers and slice objects. '

'class wishes\n'
' to emulate a sequence type) is up to the "__getitem__()" '

' This method should return a new iterator object that can '
'iterate\n'
' over all the objects in the container. For mappings, it '
'should\n'
' iterate over the keys of the container, and should also '
'be made\n'
' available as the method "iterkeys()".\n'

'Coercion rules\n'
'==============\n'
'\n'
'This section used to document the rules for coercion. As '
'the language\n'
'has evolved, the coercion rules have become hard to '
'document\n'
'precisely; documenting what one version of one particular\n'
'implementation does is undesirable. Instead, here are some '
'informal\n'
'guidelines regarding coercion. In Python 3, coercion will '
'not be\n'
'supported.\n'
'\n'
'* If the left operand of a % operator is a string or Unicode '
'object,\n'
' no coercion takes place and the string formatting '
'operation is\n'
' invoked instead.\n'
'\n'
'* It is no longer recommended to define a coercion '
'operation. Mixed-\n'
" mode operations on types that don't define coercion pass "
'the\n'
' original arguments to the operation.\n'
'\n'
'* New-style classes (those derived from "object") never '
'invoke the\n'
' "__coerce__()" method in response to a binary operator; '
'the only\n'
' time "__coerce__()" is invoked is when the built-in '
'function\n'
' "coerce()" is called.\n'
'\n'
'* For most intents and purposes, an operator that returns\n'
' "NotImplemented" is treated the same as one that is not '
'implemented\n'
' at all.\n'
'\n'
'* Below, "__op__()" and "__rop__()" are used to signify the '
'generic\n'
' method names corresponding to an operator; "__iop__()" is '
'used for\n'
' the corresponding in-place operator. For example, for the '
'operator\n'
' \'"+"\', "__add__()" and "__radd__()" are used for the '
'left and right\n'
' variant of the binary operator, and "__iadd__()" for the '
'in-place\n'
' variant.\n'
'\n'
'* For objects *x* and *y*, first "x.__op__(y)" is tried. If '
'this is\n'
' not implemented or returns "NotImplemented", '
'"y.__rop__(x)" is\n'
' tried. If this is also not implemented or returns '
'"NotImplemented",\n'
' a "TypeError" exception is raised. But see the following '
'exception:\n'
'\n'
'* Exception to the previous item: if the left operand is an '
'instance\n'
' of a built-in type or a new-style class, and the right '
'operand is an\n'
' instance of a proper subclass of that type or class and '
'overrides\n'
' the base\'s "__rop__()" method, the right operand\'s '
'"__rop__()"\n'
' method is tried *before* the left operand\'s "__op__()" '
'method.\n'
'\n'
' This is done so that a subclass can completely override '
'binary\n'
' operators. Otherwise, the left operand\'s "__op__()" '
'method would\n'
' always accept the right operand: when an instance of a '
'given class\n'
' is expected, an instance of a subclass of that class is '
'always\n'
' acceptable.\n'
'\n'
'* When either operand type defines a coercion, this coercion '
'is\n'
' called before that type\'s "__op__()" or "__rop__()" '
'method is\n'
' called, but no sooner. If the coercion returns an object '
'of a\n'
' different type for the operand whose coercion is invoked, '
'part of\n'
' the process is redone using the new object.\n'
'\n'
'* When an in-place operator (like \'"+="\') is used, if the '
'left\n'
' operand implements "__iop__()", it is invoked without any '
'coercion.\n'
' When the operation falls back to "__op__()" and/or '
'"__rop__()", the\n'
' normal coercion rules apply.\n'
'\n'
'* In "x + y", if *x* is a sequence that implements sequence\n'
' concatenation, sequence concatenation is invoked.\n'
'\n'
'* In "x * y", if one operand is a sequence that implements '
'sequence\n'
' repetition, and the other is an integer ("int" or "long"), '
'sequence\n'
' repetition is invoked.\n'
'\n'
'* Rich comparisons (implemented by methods "__eq__()" and so '
'on)\n'
' never use coercion. Three-way comparison (implemented by\n'
' "__cmp__()") does use coercion under the same conditions '
'as other\n'
' binary operations use it.\n'
'\n'
'* In the current implementation, the built-in numeric types '
'"int",\n'
' "long", "float", and "complex" do not use coercion. All '
'these types\n'
' implement a "__coerce__()" method, for use by the '
'built-in\n'
' "coerce()" function.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.7: The complex type no longer makes '
'implicit\n'
' calls to the "__coerce__()" method for mixed-type binary '
'arithmetic\n'
' operations.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'With Statement Context Managers\n'
'===============================\n'
'\n'
'New in version 2.5.\n'
'\n'
'A *context manager* is an object that defines the runtime '
'context to\n'
'be established when executing a "with" statement. The '
'context manager\n'
'handles the entry into, and the exit from, the desired '
'runtime context\n'
'for the execution of the block of code. Context managers '
'are normally\n'
'invoked using the "with" statement (described in section The '
'with\n'
'statement), but can also be used by directly invoking their '
'methods.\n'
'\n'
'Typical uses of context managers include saving and '
'restoring various\n'
'kinds of global state, locking and unlocking resources, '
'closing opened\n'
'files, etc.\n'
'\n'
'For more information on context managers, see Context '
'Manager Types.\n'
'\n'
'object.__enter__(self)\n'
'\n'
' Enter the runtime context related to this object. The '
'"with"\n'
" statement will bind this method's return value to the "
'target(s)\n'
' specified in the "as" clause of the statement, if any.\n'
'\n'
'object.__exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback)\n'
'\n'
' Exit the runtime context related to this object. The '
'parameters\n'
' describe the exception that caused the context to be '
'exited. If the\n'
' context was exited without an exception, all three '
'arguments will\n'
' be "None".\n'
'\n'
' If an exception is supplied, and the method wishes to '
'suppress the\n'
' exception (i.e., prevent it from being propagated), it '
'should\n'
' return a true value. Otherwise, the exception will be '
'processed\n'
' normally upon exit from this method.\n'
'\n'
' Note that "__exit__()" methods should not reraise the '
'passed-in\n'
" exception; this is the caller's responsibility.\n"

'Special method lookup for old-style classes\n'
'===========================================\n'
'\n'
'For old-style classes, special methods are always looked up '
'in exactly\n'
'the same way as any other method or attribute. This is the '
'case\n'
'regardless of whether the method is being looked up '
'explicitly as in\n'
'"x.__getitem__(i)" or implicitly as in "x[i]".\n'
'\n'
'This behaviour means that special methods may exhibit '
'different\n'
'behaviour for different instances of a single old-style '
'class if the\n'
'appropriate special attributes are set differently:\n'
'\n'
' >>> class C:\n'
' ... pass\n'
' ...\n'
' >>> c1 = C()\n'
' >>> c2 = C()\n'
' >>> c1.__len__ = lambda: 5\n'
' >>> c2.__len__ = lambda: 9\n'
' >>> len(c1)\n'
' 5\n'
' >>> len(c2)\n'
' 9\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Special method lookup for new-style classes\n'
'===========================================\n'
'\n'
'For new-style classes, implicit invocations of special '
'methods are\n'
"only guaranteed to work correctly if defined on an object's "
'type, not\n'
"in the object's instance dictionary. That behaviour is the "
'reason why\n'
'the following code raises an exception (unlike the '
'equivalent example\n'
'with old-style classes):\n'
'\n'
' >>> class C(object):\n'
' ... pass\n'
' ...\n'
' >>> c = C()\n'
' >>> c.__len__ = lambda: 5\n'
' >>> len(c)\n'
' Traceback (most recent call last):\n'
' File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>\n'
" TypeError: object of type 'C' has no len()\n"
'\n'
'The rationale behind this behaviour lies with a number of '
'special\n'
'methods such as "__hash__()" and "__repr__()" that are '
'implemented by\n'
'all objects, including type objects. If the implicit lookup '
'of these\n'
'methods used the conventional lookup process, they would '
'fail when\n'
'invoked on the type object itself:\n'
'\n'
' >>> 1 .__hash__() == hash(1)\n'
' True\n'
' >>> int.__hash__() == hash(int)\n'
' Traceback (most recent call last):\n'
' File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>\n'
" TypeError: descriptor '__hash__' of 'int' object needs an "
'argument\n'
'\n'
'Incorrectly attempting to invoke an unbound method of a '
'class in this\n'
"way is sometimes referred to as 'metaclass confusion', and "
'is avoided\n'
'by bypassing the instance when looking up special methods:\n'
'\n'
' >>> type(1).__hash__(1) == hash(1)\n'
' True\n'
' >>> type(int).__hash__(int) == hash(int)\n'
' True\n'
'\n'
'In addition to bypassing any instance attributes in the '
'interest of\n'
'correctness, implicit special method lookup generally also '
'bypasses\n'
'the "__getattribute__()" method even of the object\'s '
'metaclass:\n'
'\n'
' >>> class Meta(type):\n'
' ... def __getattribute__(*args):\n'
' ... print "Metaclass getattribute invoked"\n'
' ... return type.__getattribute__(*args)\n'
' ...\n'
' >>> class C(object):\n'
' ... __metaclass__ = Meta\n'
' ... def __len__(self):\n'
' ... return 10\n'
' ... def __getattribute__(*args):\n'
' ... print "Class getattribute invoked"\n'
' ... return object.__getattribute__(*args)\n'
' ...\n'
' >>> c = C()\n'
' >>> c.__len__() # Explicit lookup via '
'instance\n'
' Class getattribute invoked\n'
' 10\n'
' >>> type(c).__len__(c) # Explicit lookup via '
'type\n'
' Metaclass getattribute invoked\n'
' 10\n'
' >>> len(c) # Implicit lookup\n'
' 10\n'
'\n'
'Bypassing the "__getattribute__()" machinery in this fashion '
'provides\n'
'significant scope for speed optimisations within the '
'interpreter, at\n'
'the cost of some flexibility in the handling of special '
'methods (the\n'
'special method *must* be set on the class object itself in '
'order to be\n'
'consistently invoked by the interpreter).\n'
'\n'

'\n'
"[1] It *is* possible in some cases to change an object's "
'type,\n'

'\n'
' Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* '

' unless *keepends* is given and true.\n'
'\n'
' Python recognizes ""\\r"", ""\\n"", and ""\\r\\n"" as '
'line boundaries\n'
' for 8-bit strings.\n'
'\n'
' For example:\n'
'\n'
" >>> 'ab c\\n\\nde fg\\rkl\\r\\n'.splitlines()\n"
" ['ab c', '', 'de fg', 'kl']\n"
" >>> 'ab c\\n\\nde fg\\rkl\\r\\n'.splitlines(True)\n"
" ['ab c\\n', '\\n', 'de fg\\r', 'kl\\r\\n']\n"
'\n'
' Unlike "split()" when a delimiter string *sep* is '
'given, this\n'
' method returns an empty list for the empty string, and '
'a terminal\n'
' line break does not result in an extra line:\n'
'\n'
' >>> "".splitlines()\n'
' []\n'
' >>> "One line\\n".splitlines()\n'
" ['One line']\n"
'\n'
' For comparison, "split(\'\\n\')" gives:\n'
'\n'
" >>> ''.split('\\n')\n"
" ['']\n"
" >>> 'Two lines\\n'.split('\\n')\n"
" ['Two lines', '']\n"
'\n'
'unicode.splitlines([keepends])\n'

'matching groups of three single or double quotes (these are '

'String literals may optionally be prefixed with a letter "\'r\'" '

'"\'R\'"; such strings are called *raw strings* and use different '
'rules\n'

'Unicode character set as defined by the Unicode Consortium and '
'ISO\n'
'10646. Some additional escape sequences, described below, are\n'

'ignored in\n'
'Python 2; it indicates that the literal should become a bytes '
'literal\n'

'"\'u\'" or "\'b\'" prefix may be followed by an "\'r\'" prefix.\n'
'\n'
'In triple-quoted strings, unescaped newlines and quotes are '

'(and are retained), except that three unescaped quotes in a row\n'
'terminate the string. (A "quote" is the character used to open '
'the\n'

'\n'
'4. Unlike in Standard C, exactly two hex digits are required.\n'
'\n'
'5. In a string literal, hexadecimal and octal escapes denote the\n'
' byte with the given value; it is not necessary that the byte\n'
' encodes a character in the source character set. In a Unicode\n'
' literal, these escapes denote a Unicode character with the '
'given\n'
' value.\n'
'\n'
'Unlike Standard C, all unrecognized escape sequences are left in '
'the\n'
'string unchanged, i.e., *the backslash is left in the string*. '
'(This\n'
'behavior is useful when debugging: if an escape sequence is '
'mistyped,\n'
'the resulting output is more easily recognized as broken.) It is '
'also\n'
'important to note that the escape sequences marked as "(Unicode '
'only)"\n'
'in the table above fall into the category of unrecognized escapes '
'for\n'
'non-Unicode string literals.\n'
'\n'
'When an "\'r\'" or "\'R\'" prefix is present, a character '
'following a\n'
'backslash is included in the string without change, and *all\n'
'backslashes are left in the string*. For example, the string '
'literal\n'
'"r"\\n"" consists of two characters: a backslash and a lowercase '
'"\'n\'".\n'
'String quotes can be escaped with a backslash, but the backslash\n'
'remains in the string; for example, "r"\\""" is a valid string '
'literal\n'
'consisting of two characters: a backslash and a double quote; '
'"r"\\""\n'
'is not a valid string literal (even a raw string cannot end in an '
'odd\n'
'number of backslashes). Specifically, *a raw string cannot end '
'in a\n'
'single backslash* (since the backslash would escape the '
'following\n'
'quote character). Note also that a single backslash followed by '
'a\n'
'newline is interpreted as those two characters as part of the '
'string,\n'
'*not* as a line continuation.\n'
'\n'
'When an "\'r\'" or "\'R\'" prefix is used in conjunction with a '
'"\'u\'" or\n'
'"\'U\'" prefix, then the "\\uXXXX" and "\\UXXXXXXXX" escape '
'sequences are\n'
'processed while *all other backslashes are left in the string*. '
'For\n'
'example, the string literal "ur"\\u0062\\n"" consists of three '
'Unicode\n'
"characters: 'LATIN SMALL LETTER B', 'REVERSE SOLIDUS', and "
"'LATIN\n"
"SMALL LETTER N'. Backslashes can be escaped with a preceding\n"
'backslash; however, both remain in the string. As a result, '
'"\\uXXXX"\n'
'escape sequences are only recognized when there are an odd number '
'of\n'
'backslashes.\n',

'The "except" clause(s) specify one or more exception handlers. When '
'no\n'
'exception occurs in the "try" clause, no exception handler is\n'
'executed. When an exception occurs in the "try" suite, a search for '

'with an exception if it is the class or a base class of the '

'The standard type hierarchy\n'
'***************************\n'
'\n'
'Below is a list of the types that are built into Python. '
'Extension\n'
'modules (written in C, Java, or other languages, depending on the\n'
'implementation) can define additional types. Future versions of\n'
'Python may add types to the type hierarchy (e.g., rational '
'numbers,\n'
'efficiently stored arrays of integers, etc.).\n'
'\n'
'Some of the type descriptions below contain a paragraph listing\n'
"'special attributes.' These are attributes that provide access to "
'the\n'
'implementation and are not intended for general use. Their '
'definition\n'
'may change in the future.\n'
'\n'
'None\n'
' This type has a single value. There is a single object with '
'this\n'
' value. This object is accessed through the built-in name "None". '
'It\n'
' is used to signify the absence of a value in many situations, '
'e.g.,\n'
" it is returned from functions that don't explicitly return\n"
' anything. Its truth value is false.\n'
'\n'
'NotImplemented\n'
' This type has a single value. There is a single object with '
'this\n'
' value. This object is accessed through the built-in name\n'
' "NotImplemented". Numeric methods and rich comparison methods '
'may\n'
' return this value if they do not implement the operation for '
'the\n'
' operands provided. (The interpreter will then try the '
'reflected\n'
' operation, or some other fallback, depending on the operator.) '
'Its\n'
' truth value is true.\n'
'\n'
'Ellipsis\n'
' This type has a single value. There is a single object with '
'this\n'
' value. This object is accessed through the built-in name\n'
' "Ellipsis". It is used to indicate the presence of the "..." '
'syntax\n'
' in a slice. Its truth value is true.\n'
'\n'
'"numbers.Number"\n'
' These are created by numeric literals and returned as results '
'by\n'
' arithmetic operators and arithmetic built-in functions. '
'Numeric\n'
' objects are immutable; once created their value never changes.\n'
' Python numbers are of course strongly related to mathematical\n'
' numbers, but subject to the limitations of numerical '
'representation\n'
' in computers.\n'
'\n'
' Python distinguishes between integers, floating point numbers, '
'and\n'
' complex numbers:\n'
'\n'
' "numbers.Integral"\n'
' These represent elements from the mathematical set of '
'integers\n'
' (positive and negative).\n'
'\n'
' There are three types of integers:\n'
'\n'
' Plain integers\n'
' These represent numbers in the range -2147483648 through\n'
' 2147483647. (The range may be larger on machines with a\n'
' larger natural word size, but not smaller.) When the '
'result\n'
' of an operation would fall outside this range, the result '
'is\n'
' normally returned as a long integer (in some cases, the\n'
' exception "OverflowError" is raised instead). For the\n'
' purpose of shift and mask operations, integers are assumed '
'to\n'
" have a binary, 2's complement notation using 32 or more "
'bits,\n'
' and hiding no bits from the user (i.e., all 4294967296\n'
' different bit patterns correspond to different values).\n'
'\n'
' Long integers\n'
' These represent numbers in an unlimited range, subject to\n'
' available (virtual) memory only. For the purpose of '
'shift\n'
' and mask operations, a binary representation is assumed, '
'and\n'
" negative numbers are represented in a variant of 2's\n"
' complement which gives the illusion of an infinite string '
'of\n'
' sign bits extending to the left.\n'
'\n'
' Booleans\n'
' These represent the truth values False and True. The two\n'
' objects representing the values "False" and "True" are '
'the\n'
' only Boolean objects. The Boolean type is a subtype of '
'plain\n'
' integers, and Boolean values behave like the values 0 and '
'1,\n'
' respectively, in almost all contexts, the exception being\n'
' that when converted to a string, the strings ""False"" or\n'
' ""True"" are returned, respectively.\n'
'\n'
' The rules for integer representation are intended to give '
'the\n'
' most meaningful interpretation of shift and mask operations\n'
' involving negative integers and the least surprises when\n'
' switching between the plain and long integer domains. Any\n'
' operation, if it yields a result in the plain integer '
'domain,\n'
' will yield the same result in the long integer domain or '
'when\n'
' using mixed operands. The switch between domains is '
'transparent\n'
' to the programmer.\n'
'\n'
' "numbers.Real" ("float")\n'
' These represent machine-level double precision floating '
'point\n'
' numbers. You are at the mercy of the underlying machine\n'
' architecture (and C or Java implementation) for the accepted\n'
' range and handling of overflow. Python does not support '
'single-\n'
' precision floating point numbers; the savings in processor '
'and\n'
' memory usage that are usually the reason for using these are\n'
' dwarfed by the overhead of using objects in Python, so there '
'is\n'
' no reason to complicate the language with two kinds of '
'floating\n'
' point numbers.\n'
'\n'
' "numbers.Complex"\n'
' These represent complex numbers as a pair of machine-level\n'
' double precision floating point numbers. The same caveats '
'apply\n'
' as for floating point numbers. The real and imaginary parts '
'of a\n'
' complex number "z" can be retrieved through the read-only\n'
' attributes "z.real" and "z.imag".\n'
'\n'
'Sequences\n'
' These represent finite ordered sets indexed by non-negative\n'
' numbers. The built-in function "len()" returns the number of '
'items\n'
' of a sequence. When the length of a sequence is *n*, the index '
'set\n'
' contains the numbers 0, 1, ..., *n*-1. Item *i* of sequence *a* '
'is\n'
' selected by "a[i]".\n'
'\n'
' Sequences also support slicing: "a[i:j]" selects all items with\n'
' index *k* such that *i* "<=" *k* "<" *j*. When used as an\n'
' expression, a slice is a sequence of the same type. This '
'implies\n'
' that the index set is renumbered so that it starts at 0.\n'
'\n'
' Some sequences also support "extended slicing" with a third '
'"step"\n'
' parameter: "a[i:j:k]" selects all items of *a* with index *x* '
'where\n'
' "x = i + n*k", *n* ">=" "0" and *i* "<=" *x* "<" *j*.\n'
'\n'
' Sequences are distinguished according to their mutability:\n'
'\n'
' Immutable sequences\n'
' An object of an immutable sequence type cannot change once it '
'is\n'
' created. (If the object contains references to other '
'objects,\n'
' these other objects may be mutable and may be changed; '
'however,\n'
' the collection of objects directly referenced by an '
'immutable\n'
' object cannot change.)\n'
'\n'
' The following types are immutable sequences:\n'
'\n'
' Strings\n'
' The items of a string are characters. There is no '
'separate\n'
' character type; a character is represented by a string of '
'one\n'
' item. Characters represent (at least) 8-bit bytes. The\n'
' built-in functions "chr()" and "ord()" convert between\n'
' characters and nonnegative integers representing the byte\n'
' values. Bytes with the values 0--127 usually represent '
'the\n'
' corresponding ASCII values, but the interpretation of '
'values\n'
' is up to the program. The string data type is also used '
'to\n'
' represent arrays of bytes, e.g., to hold data read from a\n'
' file.\n'
'\n'
' (On systems whose native character set is not ASCII, '
'strings\n'
' may use EBCDIC in their internal representation, provided '
'the\n'
' functions "chr()" and "ord()" implement a mapping between\n'
' ASCII and EBCDIC, and string comparison preserves the '
'ASCII\n'
' order. Or perhaps someone can propose a better rule?)\n'
'\n'
' Unicode\n'
' The items of a Unicode object are Unicode code units. A\n'
' Unicode code unit is represented by a Unicode object of '
'one\n'
' item and can hold either a 16-bit or 32-bit value\n'
' representing a Unicode ordinal (the maximum value for the\n'
' ordinal is given in "sys.maxunicode", and depends on how\n'
' Python is configured at compile time). Surrogate pairs '
'may\n'
' be present in the Unicode object, and will be reported as '
'two\n'
' separate items. The built-in functions "unichr()" and\n'
' "ord()" convert between code units and nonnegative '
'integers\n'
' representing the Unicode ordinals as defined in the '
'Unicode\n'
' Standard 3.0. Conversion from and to other encodings are\n'
' possible through the Unicode method "encode()" and the '
'built-\n'
' in function "unicode()".\n'
'\n'
' Tuples\n'
' The items of a tuple are arbitrary Python objects. Tuples '
'of\n'
' two or more items are formed by comma-separated lists of\n'
" expressions. A tuple of one item (a 'singleton') can be\n"
' formed by affixing a comma to an expression (an expression '
'by\n'
' itself does not create a tuple, since parentheses must be\n'
' usable for grouping of expressions). An empty tuple can '
'be\n'
' formed by an empty pair of parentheses.\n'
'\n'
' Mutable sequences\n'
' Mutable sequences can be changed after they are created. '
'The\n'
' subscription and slicing notations can be used as the target '
'of\n'
' assignment and "del" (delete) statements.\n'
'\n'
' There are currently two intrinsic mutable sequence types:\n'
'\n'
' Lists\n'
' The items of a list are arbitrary Python objects. Lists '
'are\n'
' formed by placing a comma-separated list of expressions '
'in\n'
' square brackets. (Note that there are no special cases '
'needed\n'
' to form lists of length 0 or 1.)\n'
'\n'
' Byte Arrays\n'
' A bytearray object is a mutable array. They are created '
'by\n'
' the built-in "bytearray()" constructor. Aside from being\n'
' mutable (and hence unhashable), byte arrays otherwise '
'provide\n'
' the same interface and functionality as immutable bytes\n'
' objects.\n'
'\n'
' The extension module "array" provides an additional example '
'of a\n'
' mutable sequence type.\n'
'\n'
'Set types\n'
' These represent unordered, finite sets of unique, immutable\n'
' objects. As such, they cannot be indexed by any subscript. '
'However,\n'
' they can be iterated over, and the built-in function "len()"\n'
' returns the number of items in a set. Common uses for sets are '
'fast\n'
' membership testing, removing duplicates from a sequence, and\n'
' computing mathematical operations such as intersection, union,\n'
' difference, and symmetric difference.\n'
'\n'
' For set elements, the same immutability rules apply as for\n'
' dictionary keys. Note that numeric types obey the normal rules '
'for\n'
' numeric comparison: if two numbers compare equal (e.g., "1" and\n'
' "1.0"), only one of them can be contained in a set.\n'
'\n'
' There are currently two intrinsic set types:\n'
'\n'
' Sets\n'
' These represent a mutable set. They are created by the '
'built-in\n'
' "set()" constructor and can be modified afterwards by '
'several\n'
' methods, such as "add()".\n'
'\n'
' Frozen sets\n'
' These represent an immutable set. They are created by the\n'
' built-in "frozenset()" constructor. As a frozenset is '
'immutable\n'
' and *hashable*, it can be used again as an element of '
'another\n'
' set, or as a dictionary key.\n'
'\n'
'Mappings\n'
' These represent finite sets of objects indexed by arbitrary '
'index\n'
' sets. The subscript notation "a[k]" selects the item indexed by '
'"k"\n'
' from the mapping "a"; this can be used in expressions and as '
'the\n'
' target of assignments or "del" statements. The built-in '
'function\n'
' "len()" returns the number of items in a mapping.\n'
'\n'
' There is currently a single intrinsic mapping type:\n'
'\n'
' Dictionaries\n'
' These represent finite sets of objects indexed by nearly\n'
' arbitrary values. The only types of values not acceptable '
'as\n'
' keys are values containing lists or dictionaries or other\n'
' mutable types that are compared by value rather than by '
'object\n'
' identity, the reason being that the efficient implementation '
'of\n'
" dictionaries requires a key's hash value to remain constant.\n"
' Numeric types used for keys obey the normal rules for '
'numeric\n'
' comparison: if two numbers compare equal (e.g., "1" and '
'"1.0")\n'
' then they can be used interchangeably to index the same\n'
' dictionary entry.\n'
'\n'
' Dictionaries are mutable; they can be created by the "{...}"\n'
' notation (see section Dictionary displays).\n'
'\n'
' The extension modules "dbm", "gdbm", and "bsddb" provide\n'
' additional examples of mapping types.\n'
'\n'
'Callable types\n'
' These are the types to which the function call operation (see\n'
' section Calls) can be applied:\n'
'\n'
' User-defined functions\n'
' A user-defined function object is created by a function\n'
' definition (see section Function definitions). It should be\n'
' called with an argument list containing the same number of '
'items\n'
" as the function's formal parameter list.\n"

' Function objects also support getting and setting arbitrary\n'
' attributes, which can be used, for example, to attach '
'metadata\n'
' to functions. Regular attribute dot-notation is used to get '
'and\n'
' set such attributes. *Note that the current implementation '
'only\n'
' supports function attributes on user-defined functions. '
'Function\n'
' attributes on built-in functions may be supported in the\n'
' future.*\n'
'\n'
" Additional information about a function's definition can be\n"
' retrieved from its code object; see the description of '
'internal\n'
' types below.\n'
'\n'
' User-defined methods\n'
' A user-defined method object combines a class, a class '
'instance\n'
' (or "None") and any callable object (normally a user-defined\n'
' function).\n'
'\n'
' Special read-only attributes: "im_self" is the class '
'instance\n'
' object, "im_func" is the function object; "im_class" is the\n'
' class of "im_self" for bound methods or the class that asked '
'for\n'
' the method for unbound methods; "__doc__" is the method\'s\n'
' documentation (same as "im_func.__doc__"); "__name__" is the\n'
' method name (same as "im_func.__name__"); "__module__" is '
'the\n'
' name of the module the method was defined in, or "None" if\n'
' unavailable.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.2: "im_self" used to refer to the class\n'
' that defined the method.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.6: For Python 3 forward-compatibility,\n'
' "im_func" is also available as "__func__", and "im_self" as\n'
' "__self__".\n'
'\n'
' Methods also support accessing (but not setting) the '
'arbitrary\n'
' function attributes on the underlying function object.\n'
'\n'
' User-defined method objects may be created when getting an\n'
' attribute of a class (perhaps via an instance of that class), '
'if\n'
' that attribute is a user-defined function object, an unbound\n'
' user-defined method object, or a class method object. When '
'the\n'
' attribute is a user-defined method object, a new method '
'object\n'
' is only created if the class from which it is being retrieved '
'is\n'
' the same as, or a derived class of, the class stored in the\n'
' original method object; otherwise, the original method object '
'is\n'
' used as it is.\n'
'\n'
' When a user-defined method object is created by retrieving a\n'
' user-defined function object from a class, its "im_self"\n'
' attribute is "None" and the method object is said to be '
'unbound.\n'
' When one is created by retrieving a user-defined function '
'object\n'
' from a class via one of its instances, its "im_self" '
'attribute\n'
' is the instance, and the method object is said to be bound. '
'In\n'
' either case, the new method\'s "im_class" attribute is the '
'class\n'
' from which the retrieval takes place, and its "im_func"\n'
' attribute is the original function object.\n'
'\n'
' When a user-defined method object is created by retrieving\n'
' another method object from a class or instance, the behaviour '
'is\n'
' the same as for a function object, except that the "im_func"\n'
' attribute of the new instance is not the original method '
'object\n'
' but its "im_func" attribute.\n'
'\n'
' When a user-defined method object is created by retrieving a\n'
' class method object from a class or instance, its "im_self"\n'
' attribute is the class itself, and its "im_func" attribute '
'is\n'
' the function object underlying the class method.\n'
'\n'
' When an unbound user-defined method object is called, the\n'
' underlying function ("im_func") is called, with the '
'restriction\n'
' that the first argument must be an instance of the proper '
'class\n'
' ("im_class") or of a derived class thereof.\n'
'\n'
' When a bound user-defined method object is called, the\n'
' underlying function ("im_func") is called, inserting the '
'class\n'
' instance ("im_self") in front of the argument list. For\n'
' instance, when "C" is a class which contains a definition for '
'a\n'
' function "f()", and "x" is an instance of "C", calling '
'"x.f(1)"\n'
' is equivalent to calling "C.f(x, 1)".\n'
'\n'
' When a user-defined method object is derived from a class '
'method\n'
' object, the "class instance" stored in "im_self" will '
'actually\n'
' be the class itself, so that calling either "x.f(1)" or '
'"C.f(1)"\n'
' is equivalent to calling "f(C,1)" where "f" is the '
'underlying\n'
' function.\n'
'\n'
' Note that the transformation from function object to (unbound '
'or\n'
' bound) method object happens each time the attribute is\n'
' retrieved from the class or instance. In some cases, a '
'fruitful\n'
' optimization is to assign the attribute to a local variable '
'and\n'
' call that local variable. Also notice that this '
'transformation\n'
' only happens for user-defined functions; other callable '
'objects\n'
' (and all non-callable objects) are retrieved without\n'
' transformation. It is also important to note that '
'user-defined\n'
' functions which are attributes of a class instance are not\n'
' converted to bound methods; this *only* happens when the\n'
' function is an attribute of the class.\n'
'\n'
' Generator functions\n'
' A function or method which uses the "yield" statement (see\n'
' section The yield statement) is called a *generator '
'function*.\n'
' Such a function, when called, always returns an iterator '
'object\n'
' which can be used to execute the body of the function: '
'calling\n'
' the iterator\'s "next()" method will cause the function to\n'
' execute until it provides a value using the "yield" '
'statement.\n'
' When the function executes a "return" statement or falls off '
'the\n'
' end, a "StopIteration" exception is raised and the iterator '
'will\n'
' have reached the end of the set of values to be returned.\n'
'\n'
' Built-in functions\n'
' A built-in function object is a wrapper around a C function.\n'
' Examples of built-in functions are "len()" and "math.sin()"\n'
' ("math" is a standard built-in module). The number and type '
'of\n'
' the arguments are determined by the C function. Special '
'read-\n'
' only attributes: "__doc__" is the function\'s documentation\n'
' string, or "None" if unavailable; "__name__" is the '
"function's\n"
' name; "__self__" is set to "None" (but see the next item);\n'
' "__module__" is the name of the module the function was '
'defined\n'
' in or "None" if unavailable.\n'
'\n'
' Built-in methods\n'
' This is really a different disguise of a built-in function, '
'this\n'
' time containing an object passed to the C function as an\n'
' implicit extra argument. An example of a built-in method is\n'
' "alist.append()", assuming *alist* is a list object. In this\n'
' case, the special read-only attribute "__self__" is set to '
'the\n'
' object denoted by *alist*.\n'
'\n'
' Class Types\n'
' Class types, or "new-style classes," are callable. These\n'
' objects normally act as factories for new instances of\n'
' themselves, but variations are possible for class types that\n'
' override "__new__()". The arguments of the call are passed '
'to\n'
' "__new__()" and, in the typical case, to "__init__()" to\n'
' initialize the new instance.\n'
'\n'
' Classic Classes\n'
' Class objects are described below. When a class object is\n'
' called, a new class instance (also described below) is '
'created\n'
" and returned. This implies a call to the class's "
'"__init__()"\n'
' method if it has one. Any arguments are passed on to the\n'
' "__init__()" method. If there is no "__init__()" method, '
'the\n'
' class must be called without arguments.\n'
'\n'
' Class instances\n'
' Class instances are described below. Class instances are\n'
' callable only when the class has a "__call__()" method;\n'
' "x(arguments)" is a shorthand for "x.__call__(arguments)".\n'
'\n'
'Modules\n'
' Modules are imported by the "import" statement (see section The\n'
' import statement). A module object has a namespace implemented '
'by a\n'
' dictionary object (this is the dictionary referenced by the\n'
' func_globals attribute of functions defined in the module).\n'
' Attribute references are translated to lookups in this '
'dictionary,\n'
' e.g., "m.x" is equivalent to "m.__dict__["x"]". A module object\n'
' does not contain the code object used to initialize the module\n'
" (since it isn't needed once the initialization is done).\n"
'\n'
" Attribute assignment updates the module's namespace dictionary,\n"
' e.g., "m.x = 1" is equivalent to "m.__dict__["x"] = 1".\n'
'\n'
' Special read-only attribute: "__dict__" is the module\'s '
'namespace\n'
' as a dictionary object.\n'
'\n'
' **CPython implementation detail:** Because of the way CPython\n'
' clears module dictionaries, the module dictionary will be '
'cleared\n'
' when the module falls out of scope even if the dictionary still '
'has\n'
' live references. To avoid this, copy the dictionary or keep '
'the\n'
' module around while using its dictionary directly.\n'
'\n'
' Predefined (writable) attributes: "__name__" is the module\'s '
'name;\n'
' "__doc__" is the module\'s documentation string, or "None" if\n'
' unavailable; "__file__" is the pathname of the file from which '
'the\n'
' module was loaded, if it was loaded from a file. The "__file__"\n'
' attribute is not present for C modules that are statically '
'linked\n'
' into the interpreter; for extension modules loaded dynamically '
'from\n'
' a shared library, it is the pathname of the shared library '
'file.\n'
'\n'
'Classes\n'
' Both class types (new-style classes) and class objects (old-\n'
' style/classic classes) are typically created by class '
'definitions\n'
' (see section Class definitions). A class has a namespace\n'
' implemented by a dictionary object. Class attribute references '
'are\n'
' translated to lookups in this dictionary, e.g., "C.x" is '
'translated\n'
' to "C.__dict__["x"]" (although for new-style classes in '
'particular\n'
' there are a number of hooks which allow for other means of '
'locating\n'
' attributes). When the attribute name is not found there, the\n'
' attribute search continues in the base classes. For old-style\n'
' classes, the search is depth-first, left-to-right in the order '
'of\n'
' occurrence in the base class list. New-style classes use the '
'more\n'
' complex C3 method resolution order which behaves correctly even '
'in\n'
" the presence of 'diamond' inheritance structures where there "
'are\n'
' multiple inheritance paths leading back to a common ancestor.\n'
' Additional details on the C3 MRO used by new-style classes can '
'be\n'
' found in the documentation accompanying the 2.3 release at\n'
' https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.3/mro/.\n'
'\n'
' When a class attribute reference (for class "C", say) would '
'yield a\n'
' user-defined function object or an unbound user-defined method\n'
' object whose associated class is either "C" or one of its base\n'
' classes, it is transformed into an unbound user-defined method\n'
' object whose "im_class" attribute is "C". When it would yield a\n'
' class method object, it is transformed into a bound '
'user-defined\n'
' method object whose "im_self" attribute is "C". When it would\n'
' yield a static method object, it is transformed into the object\n'
' wrapped by the static method object. See section Implementing\n'
' Descriptors for another way in which attributes retrieved from '
'a\n'
' class may differ from those actually contained in its '
'"__dict__"\n'
' (note that only new-style classes support descriptors).\n'
'\n'
" Class attribute assignments update the class's dictionary, "
'never\n'
' the dictionary of a base class.\n'
'\n'
' A class object can be called (see above) to yield a class '
'instance\n'
' (see below).\n'
'\n'
' Special attributes: "__name__" is the class name; "__module__" '
'is\n'
' the module name in which the class was defined; "__dict__" is '
'the\n'
' dictionary containing the class\'s namespace; "__bases__" is a '
'tuple\n'
' (possibly empty or a singleton) containing the base classes, in '
'the\n'
' order of their occurrence in the base class list; "__doc__" is '
'the\n'
' class\'s documentation string, or "None" if undefined.\n'
'\n'
'Class instances\n'
' A class instance is created by calling a class object (see '
'above).\n'
' A class instance has a namespace implemented as a dictionary '
'which\n'
' is the first place in which attribute references are searched.\n'
" When an attribute is not found there, and the instance's class "
'has\n'
' an attribute by that name, the search continues with the class\n'
' attributes. If a class attribute is found that is a '
'user-defined\n'
' function object or an unbound user-defined method object whose\n'
' associated class is the class (call it "C") of the instance for\n'
' which the attribute reference was initiated or one of its bases, '
'it\n'
' is transformed into a bound user-defined method object whose\n'
' "im_class" attribute is "C" and whose "im_self" attribute is '
'the\n'
' instance. Static method and class method objects are also\n'
' transformed, as if they had been retrieved from class "C"; see\n'
' above under "Classes". See section Implementing Descriptors for\n'
' another way in which attributes of a class retrieved via its\n'
' instances may differ from the objects actually stored in the\n'
' class\'s "__dict__". If no class attribute is found, and the\n'
' object\'s class has a "__getattr__()" method, that is called to\n'
' satisfy the lookup.\n'
'\n'
" Attribute assignments and deletions update the instance's\n"
" dictionary, never a class's dictionary. If the class has a\n"
' "__setattr__()" or "__delattr__()" method, this is called '
'instead\n'
' of updating the instance dictionary directly.\n'
'\n'
' Class instances can pretend to be numbers, sequences, or '
'mappings\n'
' if they have methods with certain special names. See section\n'
' Special method names.\n'
'\n'
' Special attributes: "__dict__" is the attribute dictionary;\n'
' "__class__" is the instance\'s class.\n'
'\n'
'Files\n'
' A file object represents an open file. File objects are created '
'by\n'
' the "open()" built-in function, and also by "os.popen()",\n'
' "os.fdopen()", and the "makefile()" method of socket objects '
'(and\n'
' perhaps by other functions or methods provided by extension\n'
' modules). The objects "sys.stdin", "sys.stdout" and '
'"sys.stderr"\n'
' are initialized to file objects corresponding to the '
"interpreter's\n"
' standard input, output and error streams. See File Objects for\n'
' complete documentation of file objects.\n'
'\n'
'Internal types\n'
' A few types used internally by the interpreter are exposed to '
'the\n'
' user. Their definitions may change with future versions of the\n'
' interpreter, but they are mentioned here for completeness.\n'
'\n'
' Code objects\n'
' Code objects represent *byte-compiled* executable Python '
'code,\n'
' or *bytecode*. The difference between a code object and a\n'
' function object is that the function object contains an '
'explicit\n'
" reference to the function's globals (the module in which it "
'was\n'
' defined), while a code object contains no context; also the\n'
' default argument values are stored in the function object, '
'not\n'
' in the code object (because they represent values calculated '
'at\n'
' run-time). Unlike function objects, code objects are '
'immutable\n'
' and contain no references (directly or indirectly) to '
'mutable\n'
' objects.\n'
'\n'
' Special read-only attributes: "co_name" gives the function '
'name;\n'
' "co_argcount" is the number of positional arguments '
'(including\n'
' arguments with default values); "co_nlocals" is the number '
'of\n'
' local variables used by the function (including arguments);\n'
' "co_varnames" is a tuple containing the names of the local\n'
' variables (starting with the argument names); "co_cellvars" '
'is a\n'
' tuple containing the names of local variables that are\n'
' referenced by nested functions; "co_freevars" is a tuple\n'
' containing the names of free variables; "co_code" is a '
'string\n'
' representing the sequence of bytecode instructions; '
'"co_consts"\n'
' is a tuple containing the literals used by the bytecode;\n'
' "co_names" is a tuple containing the names used by the '
'bytecode;\n'
' "co_filename" is the filename from which the code was '
'compiled;\n'
' "co_firstlineno" is the first line number of the function;\n'
' "co_lnotab" is a string encoding the mapping from bytecode\n'
' offsets to line numbers (for details see the source code of '
'the\n'
' interpreter); "co_stacksize" is the required stack size\n'
' (including local variables); "co_flags" is an integer '
'encoding a\n'
' number of flags for the interpreter.\n'
'\n'
' The following flag bits are defined for "co_flags": bit '
'"0x04"\n'
' is set if the function uses the "*arguments" syntax to accept '
'an\n'
' arbitrary number of positional arguments; bit "0x08" is set '
'if\n'
' the function uses the "**keywords" syntax to accept '
'arbitrary\n'
' keyword arguments; bit "0x20" is set if the function is a\n'
' generator.\n'
'\n'
' Future feature declarations ("from __future__ import '
'division")\n'
' also use bits in "co_flags" to indicate whether a code '
'object\n'
' was compiled with a particular feature enabled: bit "0x2000" '
'is\n'
' set if the function was compiled with future division '
'enabled;\n'
' bits "0x10" and "0x1000" were used in earlier versions of\n'
' Python.\n'
'\n'
' Other bits in "co_flags" are reserved for internal use.\n'
'\n'
' If a code object represents a function, the first item in\n'
' "co_consts" is the documentation string of the function, or\n'
' "None" if undefined.\n'
'\n'
' Frame objects\n'
' Frame objects represent execution frames. They may occur in\n'
' traceback objects (see below).\n'
'\n'
' Special read-only attributes: "f_back" is to the previous '
'stack\n'
' frame (towards the caller), or "None" if this is the bottom\n'
' stack frame; "f_code" is the code object being executed in '
'this\n'
' frame; "f_locals" is the dictionary used to look up local\n'
' variables; "f_globals" is used for global variables;\n'
' "f_builtins" is used for built-in (intrinsic) names;\n'
' "f_restricted" is a flag indicating whether the function is\n'
' executing in restricted execution mode; "f_lasti" gives the\n'
' precise instruction (this is an index into the bytecode '
'string\n'
' of the code object).\n'
'\n'
' Special writable attributes: "f_trace", if not "None", is a\n'
' function called at the start of each source code line (this '
'is\n'
' used by the debugger); "f_exc_type", "f_exc_value",\n'
' "f_exc_traceback" represent the last exception raised in the\n'
' parent frame provided another exception was ever raised in '
'the\n'
' current frame (in all other cases they are "None"); '
'"f_lineno"\n'
' is the current line number of the frame --- writing to this '
'from\n'
' within a trace function jumps to the given line (only for '
'the\n'
' bottom-most frame). A debugger can implement a Jump command\n'
' (aka Set Next Statement) by writing to f_lineno.\n'
'\n'
' Traceback objects\n'
' Traceback objects represent a stack trace of an exception. '
'A\n'
' traceback object is created when an exception occurs. When '
'the\n'
' search for an exception handler unwinds the execution stack, '
'at\n'
' each unwound level a traceback object is inserted in front '
'of\n'
' the current traceback. When an exception handler is '
'entered,\n'
' the stack trace is made available to the program. (See '
'section\n'
' The try statement.) It is accessible as "sys.exc_traceback", '
'and\n'
' also as the third item of the tuple returned by\n'
' "sys.exc_info()". The latter is the preferred interface, '
'since\n'
' it works correctly when the program is using multiple '
'threads.\n'
' When the program contains no suitable handler, the stack '
'trace\n'
' is written (nicely formatted) to the standard error stream; '
'if\n'
' the interpreter is interactive, it is also made available to '
'the\n'
' user as "sys.last_traceback".\n'
'\n'
' Special read-only attributes: "tb_next" is the next level in '
'the\n'
' stack trace (towards the frame where the exception occurred), '
'or\n'
' "None" if there is no next level; "tb_frame" points to the\n'
' execution frame of the current level; "tb_lineno" gives the '
'line\n'
' number where the exception occurred; "tb_lasti" indicates '
'the\n'
' precise instruction. The line number and last instruction '
'in\n'
' the traceback may differ from the line number of its frame\n'
' object if the exception occurred in a "try" statement with '
'no\n'
' matching except clause or with a finally clause.\n'
'\n'
' Slice objects\n'
' Slice objects are used to represent slices when *extended '
'slice\n'
' syntax* is used. This is a slice using two colons, or '
'multiple\n'
' slices or ellipses separated by commas, e.g., "a[i:j:step]",\n'
' "a[i:j, k:l]", or "a[..., i:j]". They are also created by '
'the\n'
' built-in "slice()" function.\n'
'\n'
' Special read-only attributes: "start" is the lower bound; '
'"stop"\n'
' is the upper bound; "step" is the step value; each is "None" '
'if\n'
' omitted. These attributes can have any type.\n'
'\n'
' Slice objects support one method:\n'
'\n'
' slice.indices(self, length)\n'
'\n'
' This method takes a single integer argument *length* and\n'
' computes information about the extended slice that the '
'slice\n'
' object would describe if applied to a sequence of '
'*length*\n'
' items. It returns a tuple of three integers; '
'respectively\n'
' these are the *start* and *stop* indices and the *step* '
'or\n'
' stride length of the slice. Missing or out-of-bounds '
'indices\n'
' are handled in a manner consistent with regular slices.\n'
'\n'
' New in version 2.3.\n'
'\n'
' Static method objects\n'
' Static method objects provide a way of defeating the\n'
' transformation of function objects to method objects '
'described\n'
' above. A static method object is a wrapper around any other\n'
' object, usually a user-defined method object. When a static\n'
' method object is retrieved from a class or a class instance, '
'the\n'
' object actually returned is the wrapped object, which is not\n'
' subject to any further transformation. Static method objects '
'are\n'
' not themselves callable, although the objects they wrap '
'usually\n'
' are. Static method objects are created by the built-in\n'
' "staticmethod()" constructor.\n'
'\n'
' Class method objects\n'
' A class method object, like a static method object, is a '
'wrapper\n'
' around another object that alters the way in which that '
'object\n'
' is retrieved from classes and class instances. The behaviour '
'of\n'
' class method objects upon such retrieval is described above,\n'
' under "User-defined methods". Class method objects are '
'created\n'
' by the built-in "classmethod()" constructor.\n',

'Function objects are created by function definitions. The '

'\n'
'There are really two flavors of function objects: built-in '
'functions\n'
'and user-defined functions. Both support the same '
'operation (to call\n'
'the function), but the implementation is different, hence '

'Methods are functions that are called using the attribute '

'There are two flavors: built-in methods (such as "append()" '
'on lists)\n'
'and class instance methods. Built-in methods are described '
'with the\n'
'types that support them.\n'
'\n'
'The implementation adds two special read-only attributes to '
'class\n'
'instance methods: "m.im_self" is the object on which the '
'method\n'
'operates, and "m.im_func" is the function implementing the '
'method.\n'
'Calling "m(arg-1, arg-2, ..., arg-n)" is completely '
'equivalent to\n'
'calling "m.im_func(m.im_self, arg-1, arg-2, ..., arg-n)".\n'
'\n'
'Class instance methods are either *bound* or *unbound*, '
'referring to\n'
'whether the method was accessed through an instance or a '
'class,\n'
'respectively. When a method is unbound, its "im_self" '
'attribute will\n'
'be "None" and if called, an explicit "self" object must be '
'passed as\n'
'the first argument. In this case, "self" must be an '
'instance of the\n'
"unbound method's class (or a subclass of that class), "
'otherwise a\n'
'"TypeError" is raised.\n'

'\n'
'Notes:\n'
'\n'
'1. When *s* is a string or Unicode string object the "in" and '
'"not\n'
' in" operations act like a substring test. In Python '
'versions\n'
' before 2.3, *x* had to be a string of length 1. In Python 2.3 '
'and\n'
' beyond, *x* may be a string of any length.\n'
'\n'
'2. Values of *n* less than "0" are treated as "0" (which yields '
'an\n'
' empty sequence of the same type as *s*). Note that items in '
'the\n'
' sequence *s* are not copied; they are referenced multiple '
'times.\n'
' This often haunts new Python programmers; consider:\n'
'\n'
' >>> lists = [[]] * 3\n'
' >>> lists\n'
' [[], [], []]\n'
' >>> lists[0].append(3)\n'
' >>> lists\n'
' [[3], [3], [3]]\n'
'\n'
' What has happened is that "[[]]" is a one-element list '
'containing\n'
' an empty list, so all three elements of "[[]] * 3" are '
'references\n'
' to this single empty list. Modifying any of the elements of\n'
' "lists" modifies this single list. You can create a list of\n'
' different lists this way:\n'
'\n'
' >>> lists = [[] for i in range(3)]\n'
' >>> lists[0].append(3)\n'
' >>> lists[1].append(5)\n'
' >>> lists[2].append(7)\n'

'3. If *i* or *j* is negative, the index is relative to the end '
'of\n'
' sequence *s*: "len(s) + i" or "len(s) + j" is substituted. '
'But\n'
' note that "-0" is still "0".\n'
'\n'
'4. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* is defined as the sequence '
'of\n'
' items with index *k* such that "i <= k < j". If *i* or *j* '
'is\n'
' greater than "len(s)", use "len(s)". If *i* is omitted or '
'"None",\n'
' use "0". If *j* is omitted or "None", use "len(s)". If *i* '
'is\n'
' greater than or equal to *j*, the slice is empty.\n'
'\n'
'5. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* with step *k* is defined as '
'the\n'
' sequence of items with index "x = i + n*k" such that "0 <= n '
'<\n'
' (j-i)/k". In other words, the indices are "i", "i+k", '
'"i+2*k",\n'
' "i+3*k" and so on, stopping when *j* is reached (but never\n'
' including *j*). When *k* is positive, *i* and *j* are '
'reduced to\n'
' "len(s)" if they are greater. When *k* is negative, *i* and '
'*j* are\n'
' reduced to "len(s) - 1" if they are greater. If *i* or *j* '
'are\n'
' omitted or "None", they become "end" values (which end '
'depends on\n'
' the sign of *k*). Note, *k* cannot be zero. If *k* is '
'"None", it\n'
' is treated like "1".\n'
'\n'
'6. **CPython implementation detail:** If *s* and *t* are both\n'
' strings, some Python implementations such as CPython can '
'usually\n'
' perform an in-place optimization for assignments of the form '
'"s = s\n'
' + t" or "s += t". When applicable, this optimization makes\n'
' quadratic run-time much less likely. This optimization is '
'both\n'
' version and implementation dependent. For performance '
'sensitive\n'
' code, it is preferable to use the "str.join()" method which '
'assures\n'
' consistent linear concatenation performance across versions '
'and\n'
' implementations.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.4: Formerly, string concatenation never\n'
' occurred in-place.\n'

'String Methods\n'
'==============\n'
'\n'
'Below are listed the string methods which both 8-bit strings '
'and\n'
'Unicode objects support. Some of them are also available on\n'
'"bytearray" objects.\n'
'\n'
"In addition, Python's strings support the sequence type methods\n"
'described in the Sequence Types --- str, unicode, list, tuple,\n'
'bytearray, buffer, xrange section. To output formatted strings '
'use\n'
'template strings or the "%" operator described in the String\n'
'Formatting Operations section. Also, see the "re" module for '
'string\n'
'functions based on regular expressions.\n'
'\n'
'str.capitalize()\n'
'\n'
' Return a copy of the string with its first character '
'capitalized\n'
' and the rest lowercased.\n'
'\n'
' For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\n'
'\n'
'str.center(width[, fillchar])\n'
'\n'
' Return centered in a string of length *width*. Padding is '
'done\n'

'\n'
'str.count(sub[, start[, end]])\n'
'\n'
' Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring '
'*sub*\n'
' in the range [*start*, *end*]. Optional arguments *start* '
'and\n'
' *end* are interpreted as in slice notation.\n'
'\n'
'str.decode([encoding[, errors]])\n'
'\n'
' Decodes the string using the codec registered for '
'*encoding*.\n'
' *encoding* defaults to the default string encoding. *errors* '
'may\n'
' be given to set a different error handling scheme. The '
'default is\n'

'\n'
'str.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])\n'
'\n'
' Return "True" if the string ends with the specified '

'\n'
' Return a copy of the string where all tab characters are '

'\n'
' Return a copy of the string with leading characters removed. '
'The\n'
' *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters '

'\n'
' New in version 2.5.\n'
'\n'
'str.rsplit([sep[, maxsplit]])\n'
'\n'
' Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the\n'

'splits\n'
' are done, the *rightmost* ones. If *sep* is not specified '
'or\n'
' "None", any whitespace string is a separator. Except for '

'\n'
' New in version 2.4.\n'
'\n'
'str.rstrip([chars])\n'
'\n'
' Return a copy of the string with trailing characters '
'removed. The\n'
' *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters '

'str.split([sep[, maxsplit]])\n'
'\n'
' Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the\n'
' delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most '
'*maxsplit*\n'
' splits are done (thus, the list will have at most '
'"maxsplit+1"\n'

'\n'
' If *sep* is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped '
'together\n'

' "\'1,,2\'.split(\',\')" returns "[\'1\', \'\', \'2\']"). The '
'*sep* argument\n'
' may consist of multiple characters (for example,\n'
' "\'1<>2<>3\'.split(\'<>\')" returns "[\'1\', \'2\', \'3\']"). '
'Splitting an\n'
' empty string with a specified separator returns "[\'\']".\n'
'\n'
' If *sep* is not specified or is "None", a different '

'regarded\n'
' as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty '
'strings\n'
' at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing\n'
' whitespace. Consequently, splitting an empty string or a '
'string\n'
' consisting of just whitespace with a "None" separator returns '
'"[]".\n'
'\n'
' For example, "\' 1 2 3 \'.split()" returns "[\'1\', '
'\'2\', \'3\']", and\n'
' "\' 1 2 3 \'.split(None, 1)" returns "[\'1\', \'2 3 '
'\']".\n'

'str.splitlines([keepends])\n'

'approach to\n'
' splitting lines. Line breaks are not included in the '
'resulting list\n'
' unless *keepends* is given and true.\n'
'\n'
' Python recognizes ""\\r"", ""\\n"", and ""\\r\\n"" as line '
'boundaries\n'
' for 8-bit strings.\n'
'\n'
' For example:\n'
'\n'
" >>> 'ab c\\n\\nde fg\\rkl\\r\\n'.splitlines()\n"
" ['ab c', '', 'de fg', 'kl']\n"
" >>> 'ab c\\n\\nde fg\\rkl\\r\\n'.splitlines(True)\n"
" ['ab c\\n', '\\n', 'de fg\\r', 'kl\\r\\n']\n"
'\n'
' Unlike "split()" when a delimiter string *sep* is given, '
'this\n'
' method returns an empty list for the empty string, and a '
'terminal\n'
' line break does not result in an extra line:\n'
'\n'
' >>> "".splitlines()\n'
' []\n'
' >>> "One line\\n".splitlines()\n'
" ['One line']\n"
'\n'
' For comparison, "split(\'\\n\')" gives:\n'
'\n'
" >>> ''.split('\\n')\n"
" ['']\n"
" >>> 'Two lines\\n'.split('\\n')\n"
" ['Two lines', '']\n"
'\n'
'unicode.splitlines([keepends])\n'
'\n'

'String Formatting Operations\n'
'============================\n'
'\n'
'String and Unicode objects have one unique built-in operation: '
'the "%"\n'
'operator (modulo). This is also known as the string '
'*formatting* or\n'
'*interpolation* operator. Given "format % values" (where '
'*format* is\n'
'a string or Unicode object), "%" conversion specifications in '
'*format*\n'
'are replaced with zero or more elements of *values*. The effect '
'is\n'
'similar to the using "sprintf()" in the C language. If *format* '
'is a\n'
'Unicode object, or if any of the objects being converted using '
'the\n'
'"%s" conversion are Unicode objects, the result will also be a '
'Unicode\n'
'object.\n'
'\n'
'If *format* requires a single argument, *values* may be a single '
'non-\n'
'tuple object. [5] Otherwise, *values* must be a tuple with '
'exactly\n'
'the number of items specified by the format string, or a single\n'
'mapping object (for example, a dictionary).\n'
'\n'
'A conversion specifier contains two or more characters and has '
'the\n'
'following components, which must occur in this order:\n'
'\n'
'1. The "\'%\'" character, which marks the start of the '
'specifier.\n'
'\n'
'2. Mapping key (optional), consisting of a parenthesised '
'sequence\n'
' of characters (for example, "(somename)").\n'
'\n'
'3. Conversion flags (optional), which affect the result of some\n'
' conversion types.\n'
'\n'
'4. Minimum field width (optional). If specified as an "\'*\'"\n'
' (asterisk), the actual width is read from the next element of '
'the\n'
' tuple in *values*, and the object to convert comes after the\n'
' minimum field width and optional precision.\n'
'\n'
'5. Precision (optional), given as a "\'.\'" (dot) followed by '
'the\n'
' precision. If specified as "\'*\'" (an asterisk), the actual '
'width\n'
' is read from the next element of the tuple in *values*, and '
'the\n'
' value to convert comes after the precision.\n'
'\n'
'6. Length modifier (optional).\n'
'\n'
'7. Conversion type.\n'
'\n'
'When the right argument is a dictionary (or other mapping type), '
'then\n'
'the formats in the string *must* include a parenthesised mapping '
'key\n'
'into that dictionary inserted immediately after the "\'%\'" '
'character.\n'
'The mapping key selects the value to be formatted from the '
'mapping.\n'
'For example:\n'
'\n'
">>> print '%(language)s has %(number)03d quote types.' % \\\n"
'... {"language": "Python", "number": 2}\n'
'Python has 002 quote types.\n'
'\n'
'In this case no "*" specifiers may occur in a format (since '
'they\n'
'require a sequential parameter list).\n'
'\n'
'The conversion flag characters are:\n'
'\n'
'+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\n'

'\n'
'1. The alternate form causes a leading zero ("\'0\'") to be '
'inserted\n'
' between left-hand padding and the formatting of the number if '
'the\n'
' leading character of the result is not already a zero.\n'
'\n'
'2. The alternate form causes a leading "\'0x\'" or "\'0X\'" '
'(depending\n'
' on whether the "\'x\'" or "\'X\'" format was used) to be '
'inserted\n'
' before the first digit.\n'
'\n'
'3. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a '
'decimal\n'
' point, even if no digits follow it.\n'
'\n'
' The precision determines the number of digits after the '
'decimal\n'
' point and defaults to 6.\n'
'\n'
'4. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a '
'decimal\n'
' point, and trailing zeroes are not removed as they would '
'otherwise\n'
' be.\n'
'\n'
' The precision determines the number of significant digits '
'before\n'
' and after the decimal point and defaults to 6.\n'
'\n'
'5. The "%r" conversion was added in Python 2.0.\n'
'\n'
' The precision determines the maximal number of characters '
'used.\n'
'\n'
'6. If the object or format provided is a "unicode" string, the\n'
' resulting string will also be "unicode".\n'
'\n'
' The precision determines the maximal number of characters '
'used.\n'
'\n'
'7. See **PEP 237**.\n'
'\n'
'Since Python strings have an explicit length, "%s" conversions '
'do not\n'
'assume that "\'\\0\'" is the end of the string.\n'
'\n'
'Changed in version 2.7: "%f" conversions for numbers whose '
'absolute\n'
'value is over 1e50 are no longer replaced by "%g" conversions.\n'
'\n'
'Additional string operations are defined in standard modules '
'"string"\n'
'and "re".\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'XRange Type\n'
'===========\n'
'\n'
'The "xrange" type is an immutable sequence which is commonly '
'used for\n'
'looping. The advantage of the "xrange" type is that an '
'"xrange"\n'
'object will always take the same amount of memory, no matter the '
'size\n'
'of the range it represents. There are no consistent '
'performance\n'
'advantages.\n'
'\n'
'XRange objects have very little behavior: they only support '
'indexing,\n'
'iteration, and the "len()" function.\n'
'\n'
'\n'
'Mutable Sequence Types\n'
'======================\n'
'\n'
'List and "bytearray" objects support additional operations that '
'allow\n'
'in-place modification of the object. Other mutable sequence '
'types\n'
'(when added to the language) should also support these '
'operations.\n'
'Strings and tuples are immutable sequence types: such objects '
'cannot\n'
'be modified once created. The following operations are defined '

'Notes:\n'
'\n'
'1. *t* must have the same length as the slice it is replacing.\n'
'\n'
'2. The C implementation of Python has historically accepted\n'
' multiple parameters and implicitly joined them into a tuple; '
'this\n'
' no longer works in Python 2.0. Use of this misfeature has '
'been\n'
' deprecated since Python 1.4.\n'
'\n'
'3. *t* can be any iterable object.\n'
'\n'
'4. Raises "ValueError" when *x* is not found in *s*. When a\n'
' negative index is passed as the second or third parameter to '
'the\n'
' "index()" method, the list length is added, as for slice '
'indices.\n'
' If it is still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for '
'slice\n'
' indices.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.3: Previously, "index()" didn\'t have '
'arguments\n'
' for specifying start and stop positions.\n'
'\n'
'5. When a negative index is passed as the first parameter to '
'the\n'
' "insert()" method, the list length is added, as for slice '
'indices.\n'
' If it is still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for '
'slice\n'
' indices.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.3: Previously, all negative indices '
'were\n'
' truncated to zero.\n'
'\n'
'6. The "pop()" method\'s optional argument *i* defaults to "-1", '
'so\n'
' that by default the last item is removed and returned.\n'
'\n'
'7. The "sort()" and "reverse()" methods modify the list in '
'place\n'
' for economy of space when sorting or reversing a large list. '
'To\n'
" remind you that they operate by side effect, they don't "
'return the\n'
' sorted or reversed list.\n'
'\n'
'8. The "sort()" method takes optional arguments for controlling '
'the\n'
' comparisons.\n'
'\n'
' *cmp* specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments '
'(list\n'
' items) which should return a negative, zero or positive '
'number\n'
' depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller '
'than,\n'
' equal to, or larger than the second argument: "cmp=lambda '
'x,y:\n'
' cmp(x.lower(), y.lower())". The default value is "None".\n'
'\n'
' *key* specifies a function of one argument that is used to '
'extract\n'
' a comparison key from each list element: "key=str.lower". '
'The\n'
' default value is "None".\n'
'\n'
' *reverse* is a boolean value. If set to "True", then the '
'list\n'
' elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed.\n'
'\n'
' In general, the *key* and *reverse* conversion processes are '
'much\n'
' faster than specifying an equivalent *cmp* function. This '
'is\n'
' because *cmp* is called multiple times for each list element '
'while\n'
' *key* and *reverse* touch each element only once. Use\n'
' "functools.cmp_to_key()" to convert an old-style *cmp* '
'function to\n'
' a *key* function.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.3: Support for "None" as an equivalent '
'to\n'
' omitting *cmp* was added.\n'
'\n'
' Changed in version 2.4: Support for *key* and *reverse* was '
'added.\n'
'\n'
'9. Starting with Python 2.3, the "sort()" method is guaranteed '
'to\n'
' be stable. A sort is stable if it guarantees not to change '
'the\n'
' relative order of elements that compare equal --- this is '
'helpful\n'
' for sorting in multiple passes (for example, sort by '
'department,\n'
' then by salary grade).\n'
'\n'
'10. **CPython implementation detail:** While a list is being\n'
' sorted, the effect of attempting to mutate, or even inspect, '
'the\n'
' list is undefined. The C implementation of Python 2.3 and '
'newer\n'
' makes the list appear empty for the duration, and raises\n'
' "ValueError" if it can detect that the list has been '
'mutated\n'
' during a sort.\n'
'\n'
'11. The value *n* is an integer, or an object implementing\n'
' "__index__()". Zero and negative values of *n* clear the\n'
' sequence. Items in the sequence are not copied; they are\n'
' referenced multiple times, as explained for "s * n" under '

'*********************\n'
'\n'
'The "while" statement is used for repeated execution as long as an\n'

' while_stmt ::= "while" expression ":" suite\n'
' ["else" ":" suite]\n'
'\n'

'A "break" statement executed in the first suite terminates the '
'loop\n'
'without executing the "else" clause\'s suite. A "continue" '
'statement\n'
'executed in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and goes '
'back\n'
'to testing the expression.\n',
'with': '\n'
'The "with" statement\n'
'********************\n'
'\n'
'New in version 2.5.\n'
'\n'
'The "with" statement is used to wrap the execution of a block with\n'
'methods defined by a context manager (see section With Statement\n'
'Context Managers). This allows common "try"..."except"..."finally"\n'
'usage patterns to be encapsulated for convenient reuse.\n'
'\n'
' with_stmt ::= "with" with_item ("," with_item)* ":" suite\n'
' with_item ::= expression ["as" target]\n'
'\n'
'The execution of the "with" statement with one "item" proceeds as\n'
'follows:\n'
'\n'
'1. The context expression (the expression given in the "with_item")\n'
' is evaluated to obtain a context manager.\n'
'\n'
'2. The context manager\'s "__exit__()" is loaded for later use.\n'
'\n'
'3. The context manager\'s "__enter__()" method is invoked.\n'
'\n'
'4. If a target was included in the "with" statement, the return\n'
' value from "__enter__()" is assigned to it.\n'
'\n'
' Note: The "with" statement guarantees that if the "__enter__()"\n'
' method returns without an error, then "__exit__()" will always '
'be\n'
' called. Thus, if an error occurs during the assignment to the\n'
' target list, it will be treated the same as an error occurring\n'
' within the suite would be. See step 6 below.\n'
'\n'
'5. The suite is executed.\n'
'\n'
'6. The context manager\'s "__exit__()" method is invoked. If an\n'
' exception caused the suite to be exited, its type, value, and\n'
' traceback are passed as arguments to "__exit__()". Otherwise, '
'three\n'
' "None" arguments are supplied.\n'
'\n'
' If the suite was exited due to an exception, and the return '
'value\n'
' from the "__exit__()" method was false, the exception is '
'reraised.\n'
' If the return value was true, the exception is suppressed, and\n'
' execution continues with the statement following the "with"\n'
' statement.\n'
'\n'
' If the suite was exited for any reason other than an exception, '
'the\n'
' return value from "__exit__()" is ignored, and execution '
'proceeds\n'
' at the normal location for the kind of exit that was taken.\n'
'\n'
'With more than one item, the context managers are processed as if\n'
'multiple "with" statements were nested:\n'
'\n'
' with A() as a, B() as b:\n'
' suite\n'
'\n'
'is equivalent to\n'
'\n'
' with A() as a:\n'
' with B() as b:\n'
' suite\n'
'\n'
'Note: In Python 2.5, the "with" statement is only allowed when the\n'
' "with_statement" feature has been enabled. It is always enabled '
'in\n'
' Python 2.6.\n'

'The "yield" statement\n'
'*********************\n'
'\n'
' yield_stmt ::= yield_expression\n'
'\n'
'The "yield" statement is only used when defining a generator '
'function,\n'
'and is only used in the body of the generator function. Using a\n'
'"yield" statement in a function definition is sufficient to cause '
'that\n'
'definition to create a generator function instead of a normal\n'
'function.\n'
'\n'
'When a generator function is called, it returns an iterator known '
'as a\n'
'generator iterator, or more commonly, a generator. The body of '
'the\n'
"generator function is executed by calling the generator's "
'"next()"\n'
'method repeatedly until it raises an exception.\n'
'\n'
'When a "yield" statement is executed, the state of the generator '
'is\n'
'frozen and the value of "expression_list" is returned to '
'"next()"\'s\n'
'caller. By "frozen" we mean that all local state is retained,\n'
'including the current bindings of local variables, the instruction\n'
'pointer, and the internal evaluation stack: enough information is\n'
'saved so that the next time "next()" is invoked, the function can\n'
'proceed exactly as if the "yield" statement were just another '
'external\n'
'call.\n'
'\n'
'As of Python version 2.5, the "yield" statement is now allowed in '
'the\n'
'"try" clause of a "try" ... "finally" construct. If the generator '
'is\n'
'not resumed before it is finalized (by reaching a zero reference '
'count\n'
"or by being garbage collected), the generator-iterator's "
'"close()"\n'
'method will be called, allowing any pending "finally" clauses to\n'
'execute.\n'
'\n'
'For full details of "yield" semantics, refer to the Yield '
'expressions\n'
'section.\n'
'\n'
'Note: In Python 2.2, the "yield" statement was only allowed when '
'the\n'
' "generators" feature has been enabled. This "__future__" import\n'
' statement was used to enable the feature:\n'

' from __future__ import generators\n'
