class basestring(object)

    Type basestring cannot be instantiated; it is the base for str and unicode.

Data and other attributes defined here:

__new__ = <built-in method __new__ of type object>
T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T

class bool(int)

    bool(x) -> bool Returns True when the argument x is true, False otherwise. The builtins True and False are the only two instances of the class bool. The class bool is a subclass of the class int, and cannot be subclassed.

Method resolution order:

bool

class classmethod(object)

    classmethod(function) -> method Convert a function to be a class method. A class method receives the class as implicit first argument, just like an instance method receives the instance. To declare a class method, use this idiom:   class C:       def f(cls, arg1, arg2, ...): ...       f = classmethod(f) It can be called either on the class (e.g. C.f()) or on an instance (e.g. C().f()).  The instance is ignored except for its class. If a class method is called for a derived class, the derived class object is passed as the implied first argument. Class methods are different than C++ or Java static methods. If you want those, see the staticmethod builtin.

fromkeys = <built-in method fromkeys of type object>
dict.fromkeys(S[,v]) -> New dict with keys from S and values equal to v. v defaults to None.

class enumerate(object)

    enumerate(iterable) -> iterator for index, value of iterable Return an enumerate object.  iterable must be an other object that supports iteration.  The enumerate object yields pairs containing a count (from zero) and a value yielded by the iterable argument.  enumerate is useful for obtaining an indexed list: (0, seq[0]), (1, seq[1]), (2, seq[2]), ...

__getattribute__(...)

__iter__(...)

__new__ = <built-in method __new__ of type object>
T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T

class file(object)

    file(name[, mode[, buffering]]) -> file object Open a file.  The mode can be 'r', 'w' or 'a' for reading (default), writing or appending.  The file will be created if it doesn't exist when opened for writing or appending; it will be truncated when opened for writing.  Add a 'b' to the mode for binary files. Add a '+' to the mode to allow simultaneous reading and writing. If the buffering argument is given, 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line buffered, and larger numbers specify the buffer size. Add a 'U' to mode to open the file for input with universal newline support.  Any line ending in the input file will be seen as a '\n' in Python.  Also, a file so opened gains the attribute 'newlines'; the value for this attribute is one of None (no newline read yet), '\r', '\n', '\r\n' or a tuple containing all the newline types seen. 'U' cannot be combined with 'w' or '+' mode. Note:  open() is an alias for file().

Methods defined here:

__delattr__(...)
x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name

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

__init__(...)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

__iter__(...)

__repr__(...)
x.__repr__() <==> repr(x)

__setattr__(...)
x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value

close(...)
close() -> None or (perhaps) an integer.  Close the file. Sets data attribute .closed to True.  A closed file cannot be used for further I/O operations.  close() may be called more than once without error.  Some kinds of file objects (for example, opened by popen()) may return an exit status upon closing.

fileno(...)
fileno() -> integer "file descriptor". This is needed for lower-level file interfaces, such os.read().

flush(...)
flush() -> None.  Flush the internal I/O buffer.

isatty(...)
isatty() -> true or false.  True if the file is connected to a tty device.

next(...)
x.next() -> the next value, or raise StopIteration

read(...)
read([size]) -> read at most size bytes, returned as a string. If the size argument is negative or omitted, read until EOF is reached. Notice that when in non-blocking mode, less data than what was requested may be returned, even if no size parameter was given.

readinto(...)
readinto() -> Undocumented.  Don't use this; it may go away.

readline(...)
readline([size]) -> next line from the file, as a string. Retain newline.  A non-negative size argument limits the maximum number of bytes to return (an incomplete line may be returned then). Return an empty string at EOF.

readlines(...)
readlines([size]) -> list of strings, each a line from the file. Call readline() repeatedly and return a list of the lines so read. The optional size argument, if given, is an approximate bound on the total number of bytes in the lines returned.

seek(...)
seek(offset[, whence]) -> None.  Move to new file position. Argument offset is a byte count.  Optional argument whence defaults to 0 (offset from start of file, offset should be >= 0); other values are 1 (move relative to current position, positive or negative), and 2 (move relative to end of file, usually negative, although many platforms allow seeking beyond the end of a file).  If the file is opened in text mode, only offsets returned by tell() are legal.  Use of other offsets causes undefined behavior. Note that not all file objects are seekable.

tell(...)
tell() -> current file position, an integer (may be a long integer).

truncate(...)
truncate([size]) -> None.  Truncate the file to at most size bytes. Size defaults to the current file position, as returned by tell().

write(...)
write(str) -> None.  Write string str to file. Note that due to buffering, flush() or close() may be needed before the file on disk reflects the data written.

writelines(...)
writelines(sequence_of_strings) -> None.  Write the strings to the file. Note that newlines are not added.  The sequence can be any iterable object producing strings. This is equivalent to calling write() for each string.

xreadlines(...)
xreadlines() -> returns self. For backward compatibility. File objects now include the performance optimizations previously implemented in the xreadlines module.

class int(object)

    int(x[, base]) -> integer Convert a string or number to an integer, if possible.

T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T

class object

    The most base type

open = class file(object)

    file(name[, mode[, buffering]]) -> file object Open a file.  The mode can be 'r', 'w' or 'a' for reading (default), writing or appending.  The file will be created if it doesn't exist when opened for writing or appending; it will be truncated when opened for writing.  Add a 'b' to the mode for binary files. Add a '+' to the mode to allow simultaneous reading and writing. If the buffering argument is given, 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line buffered, and larger numbers specify the buffer size. Add a 'U' to mode to open the file for input with universal newline support.  Any line ending in the input file will be seen as a '\n' in Python.  Also, a file so opened gains the attribute 'newlines'; the value for this attribute is one of None (no newline read yet), '\r', '\n', '\r\n' or a tuple containing all the newline types seen. 'U' cannot be combined with 'w' or '+' mode. Note:  open() is an alias for file().

__setattr__(...)

close(...)
close() -> None or (perhaps) an integer.  Close the file. Sets data attribute .closed to True.  A closed file cannot be used for further I/O operations.  close() may be called more than once without error.  Some kinds of file objects (for example, opened by popen()) may return an exit status upon closing.

fileno(...)
fileno() -> integer "file descriptor". This is needed for lower-level file interfaces, such os.read().

flush(...)
flush() -> None.  Flush the internal I/O buffer.

isatty(...)
isatty() -> true or false.  True if the file is connected to a tty device.

next(...)
x.next() -> the next value, or raise StopIteration

read(...)
read([size]) -> read at most size bytes, returned as a string. If the size argument is negative or omitted, read until EOF is reached. Notice that when in non-blocking mode, less data than what was requested may be returned, even if no size parameter was given.

readinto(...)
readinto() -> Undocumented.  Don't use this; it may go away.

readline(...)
readline([size]) -> next line from the file, as a string. Retain newline.  A non-negative size argument limits the maximum number of bytes to return (an incomplete line may be returned then). Return an empty string at EOF.

readlines(...)
readlines([size]) -> list of strings, each a line from the file. Call readline() repeatedly and return a list of the lines so read. The optional size argument, if given, is an approximate bound on the total number of bytes in the lines returned.

seek(...)
seek(offset[, whence]) -> None.  Move to new file position. Argument offset is a byte count.  Optional argument whence defaults to 0 (offset from start of file, offset should be >= 0); other values are 1 (move relative to current position, positive or negative), and 2 (move relative to end of file, usually negative, although many platforms allow seeking beyond the end of a file).  If the file is opened in text mode, only offsets returned by tell() are legal.  Use of other offsets causes undefined behavior. Note that not all file objects are seekable.

tell(...)
tell() -> current file position, an integer (may be a long integer).

truncate(...)
truncate([size]) -> None.  Truncate the file to at most size bytes. Size defaults to the current file position, as returned by tell().

write(...)
write(str) -> None.  Write string str to file. Note that due to buffering, flush() or close() may be needed before the file on disk reflects the data written.

writelines(...)
writelines(sequence_of_strings) -> None.  Write the strings to the file. Note that newlines are not added.  The sequence can be any iterable object producing strings. This is equivalent to calling write() for each string.

xreadlines(...)
xreadlines() -> returns self. For backward compatibility. File objects now include the performance optimizations previously implemented in the xreadlines module.

Functions


__import__(...)
__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) -> module Import a module.  The globals are only used to determine the context; they are not modified.  The locals are currently unused.  The fromlist should be a list of names to emulate ``from name import ...'', or an empty list to emulate ``import name''. When importing a module from a package, note that __import__('A.B', ...) returns package A when fromlist is empty, but its submodule B when fromlist is not empty.

abs(...)
abs(number) -> number Return the absolute value of the argument.

apply(...)
apply(object[, args[, kwargs]]) -> value Call a callable object with positional arguments taken from the tuple args, and keyword arguments taken from the optional dictionary kwargs. Note that classes are callable, as are instances with a __call__() method. Deprecated since release 2.3. Instead, use the extended call syntax:     function(*args, **keywords).

callable(...)
callable(object) -> bool Return whether the object is callable (i.e., some kind of function). Note that classes are callable, as are instances with a __call__() method.

chr(...)
chr(i) -> character Return a string of one character with ordinal i; 0 <= i < 256.

cmp(...)
cmp(x, y) -> integer Return negative if x<y, zero if x==y, positive if x>y.

coerce(...)
coerce(x, y) -> (x1, y1) Return a tuple consisting of the two numeric arguments converted to a common type, using the same rules as used by arithmetic operations. If coercion is not possible, raise TypeError.

compile(...)
compile(source, filename, mode[, flags[, dont_inherit]]) -> code object Compile the source string (a Python module, statement or expression) into a code object that can be executed by the exec statement or eval(). The filename will be used for run-time error messages. The mode must be 'exec' to compile a module, 'single' to compile a single (interactive) statement, or 'eval' to compile an expression. The flags argument, if present, controls which future statements influence the compilation of the code. The dont_inherit argument, if non-zero, stops the compilation inheriting the effects of any future statements in effect in the code calling compile; if absent or zero these statements do influence the compilation, in addition to any features explicitly specified.

delattr(...)
delattr(object, name) Delete a named attribute on an object; delattr(x, 'y') is equivalent to ``del x.y''.

dir(...)
dir([object]) -> list of strings Return an alphabetized list of names comprising (some of) the attributes of the given object, and of attributes reachable from it: No argument:  the names in the current scope. Module object:  the module attributes. Type or class object:  its attributes, and recursively the attributes of     its bases. Otherwise:  its attributes, its class's attributes, and recursively the     attributes of its class's base classes.

divmod(...)
divmod(x, y) -> (div, mod) Return the tuple ((x-x%y)/y, x%y).  Invariant: div*y + mod == x.

eval(...)
eval(source[, globals[, locals]]) -> value Evaluate the source in the context of globals and locals. The source may be a string representing a Python expression or a code object as returned by compile(). The globals must be a dictionary and locals can be any mappping, defaulting to the current globals and locals. If only globals is given, locals defaults to it.

execfile(...)
execfile(filename[, globals[, locals]]) Read and execute a Python script from a file. The globals and locals are dictionaries, defaulting to the current globals and locals.  If only globals is given, locals defaults to it.

filter(...)
filter(function or None, sequence) -> list, tuple, or string Return those items of sequence for which function(item) is true.  If function is None, return the items that are true.  If sequence is a tuple or string, return the same type, else return a list.

getattr(...)
getattr(object, name[, default]) -> value Get a named attribute from an object; getattr(x, 'y') is equivalent to x.y. When a default argument is given, it is returned when the attribute doesn't exist; without it, an exception is raised in that case.

globals(...)
globals() -> dictionary Return the dictionary containing the current scope's global variables.

hasattr(...)
hasattr(object, name) -> bool Return whether the object has an attribute with the given name. (This is done by calling getattr(object, name) and catching exceptions.)

hash(...)
hash(object) -> integer Return a hash value for the object.  Two objects with the same value have the same hash value.  The reverse is not necessarily true, but likely.

hex(...)
hex(number) -> string Return the hexadecimal representation of an integer or long integer.

id(...)
id(object) -> integer Return the identity of an object.  This is guaranteed to be unique among simultaneously existing objects.  (Hint: it's the object's memory address.)

input(...)
input([prompt]) -> value Equivalent to eval(raw_input(prompt)).

intern(...)
intern(string) -> string ``Intern'' the given string.  This enters the string in the (global) table of interned strings whose purpose is to speed up dictionary lookups. Return the string itself or the previously interned string object with the same value.

isinstance(...)
isinstance(object, class-or-type-or-tuple) -> bool Return whether an object is an instance of a class or of a subclass thereof. With a type as second argument, return whether that is the object's type. The form using a tuple, isinstance(x, (A, B, ...)), is a shortcut for isinstance(x, A) or isinstance(x, B) or ... (etc.).

issubclass(...)
issubclass(C, B) -> bool Return whether class C is a subclass (i.e., a derived class) of class B. When using a tuple as the second argument issubclass(X, (A, B, ...)), is a shortcut for issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B) or ... (etc.).

iter(...)
iter(collection) -> iterator iter(callable, sentinel) -> iterator Get an iterator from an object.  In the first form, the argument must supply its own iterator, or be a sequence. In the second form, the callable is called until it returns the sentinel.

len(...)
len(object) -> integer Return the number of items of a sequence or mapping.

locals(...)
locals() -> dictionary Update and return a dictionary containing the current scope's local variables.

map(...)
map(function, sequence[, sequence, ...]) -> list Return a list of the results of applying the function to the items of the argument sequence(s).  If more than one sequence is given, the function is called with an argument list consisting of the corresponding item of each sequence, substituting None for missing values when not all sequences have the same length.  If the function is None, return a list of the items of the sequence (or a list of tuples if more than one sequence).

max(...)
max(sequence) -> value max(a, b, c, ...) -> value With a single sequence argument, return its largest item. With two or more arguments, return the largest argument.

min(...)
min(sequence) -> value min(a, b, c, ...) -> value With a single sequence argument, return its smallest item. With two or more arguments, return the smallest argument.

oct(...)
oct(number) -> string Return the octal representation of an integer or long integer.

ord(...)
ord(c) -> integer Return the integer ordinal of a one-character string.

pow(...)
pow(x, y[, z]) -> number With two arguments, equivalent to x**y.  With three arguments, equivalent to (x**y) % z, but may be more efficient (e.g. for longs).

range(...)
range([start,] stop[, step]) -> list of integers Return a list containing an arithmetic progression of integers. range(i, j) returns [i, i+1, i+2, ..., j-1]; start (!) defaults to 0. When step is given, it specifies the increment (or decrement). For example, range(4) returns [0, 1, 2, 3].  The end point is omitted! These are exactly the valid indices for a list of 4 elements.

raw_input(...)
raw_input([prompt]) -> string Read a string from standard input.  The trailing newline is stripped. If the user hits EOF (Unix: Ctl-D, Windows: Ctl-Z+Return), raise EOFError. On Unix, GNU readline is used if enabled.  The prompt string, if given, is printed without a trailing newline before reading.

reduce(...)
reduce(function, sequence[, initial]) -> value Apply a function of two arguments cumulatively to the items of a sequence, from left to right, so as to reduce the sequence to a single value. For example, reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) calculates ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5).  If initial is present, it is placed before the items of the sequence in the calculation, and serves as a default when the sequence is empty.

reload(...)
reload(module) -> module Reload the module.  The module must have been successfully imported before.

repr(...)
repr(object) -> string Return the canonical string representation of the object. For most object types, eval(repr(object)) == object.

round(...)
round(number[, ndigits]) -> floating point number Round a number to a given precision in decimal digits (default 0 digits). This always returns a floating point number.  Precision may be negative.

setattr(...)
setattr(object, name, value) Set a named attribute on an object; setattr(x, 'y', v) is equivalent to ``x.y = v''.

sorted(...)
sorted(iterable, cmp=None, key=None, reverse=False) --> new sorted list

sum(...)
sum(sequence, start=0) -> value Returns the sum of a sequence of numbers (NOT strings) plus the value of parameter 'start'.  When the sequence is empty, returns start.

unichr(...)
unichr(i) -> Unicode character Return a Unicode string of one character with ordinal i; 0 <= i <= 0x10ffff.

vars(...)
vars([object]) -> dictionary Without arguments, equivalent to locals(). With an argument, equivalent to object.__dict__.

zip(...)
zip(seq1 [, seq2 [...]]) -> [(seq1[0], seq2[0] ...), (...)] Return a list of tuples, where each tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument sequences.  The returned list is truncated in length to the length of the shortest argument sequence.
