H A D	topics.py	4 'assignment': u'\nAssignment statements\n********************\n\nAssignment statements are used to (re)bind names to values and to\nmodify attributes or items of mutable objects:\n\n assignment_stmt ::= (target_list "=")+ (expression_list \| yield_expression)\n target_list ::= target ("," target) [","]\n target ::= identifier\n \| "(" target_list ")"\n \| "[" target_list "]"\n \| attributeref\n \| subscription\n \| slicing\n\n(See section Primaries for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn assignment statement evaluates the expression list (remember that\nthis can be a single expression or a comma-separated list, the latter\nyielding a tuple) and assigns the single resulting object to each of\nthe target lists, from left to right.\n\nAssignment is defined recursively depending on the form of the target\n(list). When a target is part of a mutable object (an attribute\nreference, subscription or slicing), the mutable object must\nultimately perform the assignment and decide about its validity, and\nmay raise an exception if the assignment is unacceptable. The rules\nobserved by various types and the exceptions raised are given with the\ndefinition of the object types (see section The standard type\nhierarchy).\n\nAssignment of an object to a target list is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target list is a single target: The object is assigned to\n that target.\n\n* If the target list is a comma-separated list of targets: The\n object must be an iterable with the same number of items as there\n are targets in the target list, and the items are assigned, from\n left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\nAssignment of an object to a single target is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target is an identifier (name):\n\n * If the name does not occur in a "global" statement in the\n current code block: the name is bound to the object in the current\n local namespace.\n\n * Otherwise: the name is bound to the object in the current global\n namespace.\n\n The name is rebound if it was already bound. This may cause the\n reference count for the object previously bound to the name to reach\n zero, causing the object to be deallocated and its destructor (if it\n has one) to be called.\n\n* If the target is a target list enclosed in parentheses or in\n square brackets: The object must be an iterable with the same number\n of items as there are targets in the target list, and its items are\n assigned, from left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\n* If the target is an attribute reference: The primary expression in\n the reference is evaluated. It should yield an object with\n assignable attributes; if this is not the case, "TypeError" is\n raised. That object is then asked to assign the assigned object to\n the given attribute; if it cannot perform the assignment, it raises\n an exception (usually but not necessarily "AttributeError").\n\n Note: If the object is a class instance and the attribute reference\n occurs on both sides of the assignment operator, the RHS expression,\n "a.x" can access either an instance attribute or (if no instance\n attribute exists) a class attribute. The LHS target "a.x" is always\n set as an instance attribute, creating it if necessary. Thus, the\n two occurrences of "a.x" do not necessarily refer to the same\n attribute: if the RHS expression refers to a class attribute, the\n LHS creates a new instance attribute as the target of the\n assignment:\n\n class Cls:\n x = 3 # class variable\n inst = Cls()\n inst.x = inst.x + 1 # writes inst.x as 4 leaving Cls.x as 3\n\n This description does not necessarily apply to descriptor\n attributes, such as properties created with "property()".\n\n* If the target is a subscription: The primary expression in the\n reference is evaluated. It should yield either a mutable sequence\n object (such as a list) or a mapping object (such as a dictionary).\n Next, the subscript expression is evaluated.\n\n If the primary is a mutable sequence object (such as a list), the\n subscript must yield a plain integer. If it is negative, the\n sequence\'s length is added to it. The resulting value must be a\n nonnegative integer less than the sequence\'s length, and the\n sequence is asked to assign the assigned object to its item with\n that index. If the index is out of range, "IndexError" is raised\n (assignment to a subscripted sequence cannot add new items to a\n list).\n\n If the primary is a mapping object (such as a dictionary), the\n subscript must have a type compatible with the mapping\'s key type,\n and the mapping is then asked to create a key/datum pair which maps\n the subscript to the assigned object. This can either replace an\n existing key/value pair with the same key value, or insert a new\n key/value pair (if no key with the same value existed).\n\n* If the target is a slicing: The primary expression in the\n reference is evaluated. It should yield a mutable sequence object\n (such as a list). The assigned object should be a sequence object\n of the same type. Next, the lower and upper bound expressions are\n evaluated, insofar they are present; defaults are zero and the\n sequence\'s length. The bounds should evaluate to (small) integers.\n If either bound is negative, the sequence\'s length is added to it.\n The resulting bounds are clipped to lie between zero and the\n sequence\'s length, inclusive. Finally, the sequence object is asked\n to replace the slice with the items of the assigned sequence. The\n length of the slice may be different from the length of the assigned\n sequence, thus changing the length of the target sequence, if the\n object allows it.\n\nCPython implementation detail: In the current implementation, the\nsyntax for targets is taken to be the same as for expressions, and\ninvalid syntax is rejected during the code generation phase, causing\nless detailed error messages.\n\nWARNING: Although the definition of assignment implies that overlaps\nbetween the left-hand side and the right-hand side are \'safe\' (for\nexample "a, b = b, a" swaps two variables), overlaps within the\ncollection of assigned-to variables are not safe! For instance, the\nfollowing program prints "[0, 2]":\n\n x = [0, 1]\n i = 0\n i, x[i] = 1, 2\n print x\n\n\nAugmented assignment statements\n===============================\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list \| yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier \| attributeref \| subscription \| slicing\n augop ::= "+=" \| "-=" \| "=" \| "/=" \| "//=" \| "%=" \| "="\n \| ">>=" \| "<<=" \| "&=" \| "^=" \| "\|="\n\n(See section Primaries for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like "x += 1" can be rewritten as\n"x = x + 1" to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect. In the\naugmented version, "x" is only evaluated once. Also, when possible,\nthe actual operation is performed in-place, meaning that rather than\ncreating a new object and assigning that to the target, the old object\nis modified instead.\n\nWith the exception of assigning to tuples and multiple targets in a\nsingle statement, the assignment done by augmented assignment\nstatements is handled the same way as normal assignments. Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible in-place* behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same caveat about\nclass and instance attributes applies as for regular assignments.\n', 7 'attribute-access': u'\nCustomizing attribute access\n***************************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to customize the meaning of\nattribute access (use of, assignment to, or deletion of "x.name") for\nclass instances.\n\nobject.__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\nobject.__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\nobject.__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\nMore attribute access for new-style classes\n===========================================\n\nThe following methods only apply to new-style classes.\n\nobject.__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\nImplementing Descriptors\n========================\n\nThe following methods only apply when an instance of the class\ncontaining the method (a so-called descriptor class) appears in an\nowner class (the descriptor must be in either the owner\'s class\ndictionary or in the class dictionary for one of its parents). In the\nexamples below, "the attribute" refers to the attribute whose name is\nthe key of the property in the owner class\' "__dict__".\n\nobject.__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\nobject.__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\nobject.__delete__(self, instance)\n\n Called to delete the attribute on an instance instance of the\n owner class.\n\n\nInvoking Descriptors\n====================\n\nIn general, a descriptor is an object attribute with "binding\nbehavior", one whose attribute access has been overridden by methods\nin the descriptor protocol: "__get__()", "__set__()", and\n"__delete__()". If any of those methods are defined for an object, it\nis said to be a descriptor.\n\nThe default behavior for attribute access is to get, set, or delete\nthe attribute from an object\'s dictionary. For instance, "a.x" has a\nlookup 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\nHowever, if the looked-up value is an object defining one of the\ndescriptor methods, then Python may override the default behavior and\ninvoke the descriptor method instead. Where this occurs in the\nprecedence chain depends on which descriptor methods were defined and\nhow they were called. Note that descriptors are only invoked for new\nstyle objects or classes (ones that subclass "object()" or "type()").\n\nThe starting point for descriptor invocation is a binding, "a.x". How\nthe arguments are assembled depends on "a":\n\nDirect Call\n The simplest and least common call is when user code directly\n invokes a descriptor method: "x.__get__(a)".\n\nInstance 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\nClass Binding\n If binding to a new-style class, "A.x" is transformed into the\n call: "A.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(None, A)".\n\nSuper 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\nFor instance bindings, the precedence of descriptor invocation depends\non the which descriptor methods are defined. A descriptor can define\nany combination of "__get__()", "__set__()" and "__delete__()". If it\ndoes not define "__get__()", then accessing the attribute will return\nthe descriptor object itself unless there is a value in the object\'s\ninstance dictionary. If the descriptor defines "__set__()" and/or\n"__delete__()", it is a data descriptor; if it defines neither, it is\na 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__()"\ndefined always override a redefinition in an instance dictionary. In\ncontrast, non-data descriptors can be overridden by instances.\n\nPython methods (including "staticmethod()" and "classmethod()") are\nimplemented as non-data descriptors. Accordingly, instances can\nredefine and override methods. This allows individual instances to\nacquire behaviors that differ from other instances of the same class.\n\nThe "property()" function is implemented as a data descriptor.\nAccordingly, instances cannot override the behavior of a property.\n\n\n__slots__\n=========\n\nBy default, instances of both old and new-style classes have a\ndictionary for attribute storage. This wastes space for objects\nhaving very few instance variables. The space consumption can become\nacute when creating large numbers of instances.\n\nThe default can be overridden by defining __slots__ in a new-style\nclass definition. The __slots__ declaration takes a sequence of\ninstance variables and reserves just enough space in each instance to\nhold a value for each variable. Space is saved because __dict__ is\nnot 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\nNotes 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', 9 'augassign': u'\nAugmented assignment statements\n******************************\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list \| yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier \| attributeref \| subscription \| slicing\n augop ::= "+=" \| "-=" \| "=" \| "/=" \| "//=" \| "%=" \| "*="\n \| ">>=" \| "<<=" \| "&=" \| "^=" \| "\|="\n\n(See section Primaries for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like "x += 1" can be rewritten as\n"x = x + 1" to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect.

Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible in-place* behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same caveat about\nclass and instance attributes applies as for regular assignments.\n', 19 'calls': u'\nCalls\n****\n\nA call calls a callable object (e.g., a function) with a possibly\nempty series of arguments:\n\n call ::= primary "(" [argument_list [","]\n \| expression genexpr_for] ")"\n argument_list ::= positional_arguments ["," keyword_arguments]\n ["," "" expression] ["," keyword_arguments]\n ["," "*" expression]\n \| keyword_arguments ["," "" expression]\n ["," "*" expression]\n \| "" expression ["," keyword_arguments] ["," "" expression]\n \| "" expression\n positional_arguments ::= expression ("," expression)\n keyword_arguments ::= keyword_item ("," keyword_item)\n keyword_item ::= identifier "=" expression\n\nA trailing comma may be present after the positional and keyword\narguments but does not affect the semantics.\n\nThe primary must evaluate to a callable object (user-defined\nfunctions, built-in functions, methods of built-in objects, class\nobjects, methods of class instances, and certain class instances\nthemselves are callable; extensions may define additional callable\nobject types). All argument expressions are evaluated before the call\nis attempted. Please refer to section Function definitions for the\nsyntax of formal parameter lists.\n\nIf keyword arguments are present, they are first converted to\npositional arguments, as follows. First, a list of unfilled slots is\ncreated for the formal parameters. If there are N positional\narguments, they are placed in the first N slots. Next, for each\nkeyword argument, the identifier is used to determine the\ncorresponding slot (if the identifier is the same as the first formal\nparameter name, the first slot is used, and so on). If the slot is\nalready filled, a "TypeError" exception is raised. Otherwise, the\nvalue of the argument is placed in the slot, filling it (even if the\nexpression is "None", it fills the slot). When all arguments have\nbeen processed, the slots that are still unfilled are filled with the\ncorresponding default value from the function definition. (Default\nvalues are calculated, once, when the function is defined; thus, a\nmutable object such as a list or dictionary used as default value will\nbe shared by all calls that don\'t specify an argument value for the\ncorresponding slot; this should usually be avoided.) If there are any\nunfilled slots for which no default value is specified, a "TypeError"\nexception is raised. Otherwise, the list of filled slots is used as\nthe argument list for the call.\n\nCPython implementation detail: An implementation may provide\nbuilt-in functions whose positional parameters do not have names, even\nif they are \'named\' for the purpose of documentation, and which\ntherefore cannot be supplied by keyword. In CPython, this is the case\nfor functions implemented in C that use "PyArg_ParseTuple()" to parse\ntheir arguments.\n\nIf there are more positional arguments than there are formal parameter\nslots, a "TypeError" exception is raised, unless a formal parameter\nusing the syntax "identifier" is present; in this case, that formal\nparameter receives a tuple containing the excess positional arguments\n(or an empty tuple if there were no excess positional arguments).\n\nIf any keyword argument does not correspond to a formal parameter\nname, a "TypeError" exception is raised, unless a formal parameter\nusing the syntax "identifier" is present; in this case, that formal\nparameter receives a dictionary containing the excess keyword\narguments (using the keywords as keys and the argument values as\ncorresponding values), or a (new) empty dictionary if there were no\nexcess keyword arguments.\n\nIf the syntax "expression" appears in the function call, "expression"\nmust evaluate to an iterable. Elements from this iterable are treated\nas if they were additional positional arguments; if there are\npositional arguments x1, ..., xN, and "expression" evaluates to a\nsequence y1, ..., yM, this is equivalent to a call with M+N\npositional arguments x1, ..., xN, y1, ..., yM.\n\nA consequence of this is that although the "expression" syntax may\nappear after* some keyword arguments, it is processed before the\nkeyword arguments (and the "*expression" argument, if any -- see\nbelow). So:\n\n >>> def f(a, b):\n ... print a, b\n ...\n >>> f(b=1, (2,))\n 2 1\n >>> f(a=1, (2,))\n Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?\n TypeError: f() got multiple values for keyword argument \'a\'\n >>> f(1, (2,))\n 1 2\n\nIt is unusual for both keyword arguments and the "expression" syntax\nto be used in the same call, so in practice this confusion does not\narise.\n\nIf the syntax "expression" appears in the function call,\n"expression" must evaluate to a mapping, the contents of which are\ntreated as additional keyword arguments. In the case of a keyword\nappearing in both "expression" and as an explicit keyword argument, a\n"TypeError" exception is raised.\n\nFormal parameters using the syntax "identifier" or "identifier"\ncannot be used as positional argument slots or as keyword argument\nnames. Formal parameters using the syntax "(sublist)" cannot be used\nas keyword argument names; the outermost sublist corresponds to a\nsingle unnamed argument slot, and the argument value is assigned to\nthe sublist using the usual tuple assignment rules after all other\nparameter processing is done.\n\nA call always returns some value, possibly "None", unless it raises an\nexception. How this value is computed depends on the type of the\ncallable object.\n\nIf it is---\n\na user-defined function:\n The code block for the function is executed, passing it the\n argument list. The first thing the code block will do is bind the\n formal parameters to the arguments; this is described in section\n Function definitions. When the code block executes a "return"\n statement, this specifies the return value of the function call.\n\na built-in function or method:\n The result is up to the interpreter; see Built-in Functions for the\n descriptions of built-in functions and methods.\n\na class object:\n A new instance of that class is returned.\n\na class instance method:\n The corresponding user-defined function is called, with an argument\n list that is one longer than the argument list of the call: the\n instance becomes the first argument.\n\na class instance:\n The class must define a "__call__()" method; the effect is then the\n same as if that method was called.\n', 22 'compound': u'\nCompound statements\n****************\n\nCompound statements contain (groups of) other statements; they affect\nor control the execution of those other statements in some way. In\ngeneral, compound statements span multiple lines, although in simple\nincarnations a whole compound statement may be contained in one line.\n\nThe "if", "while" and "for" statements implement traditional control\nflow constructs. "try" specifies exception handlers and/or cleanup\ncode for a group of statements. Function and class definitions are\nalso syntactically compound statements.\n\nCompound statements consist of one or more \'clauses.\' A clause\nconsists of a header and a \'suite.\' The clause headers of a\nparticular compound statement are all at the same indentation level.\nEach clause header begins with a uniquely identifying keyword and ends\nwith a colon. A suite is a group of statements controlled by a\nclause. A suite can be one or more semicolon-separated simple\nstatements on the same line as the header, following the header\'s\ncolon, or it can be one or more indented statements on subsequent\nlines. Only the latter form of suite can contain nested compound\nstatements; the following is illegal, mostly because it wouldn\'t be\nclear to which "if" clause a following "else" clause would belong:\n\n if test1: if test2: print x\n\nAlso note that the semicolon binds tighter than the colon in this\ncontext, 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\nSummarizing:\n\n compound_stmt ::= if_stmt\n \| while_stmt\n \| for_stmt\n \| try_stmt\n \| with_stmt\n \| funcdef\n \| classdef\n \| decorated\n suite ::= stmt_list NEWLINE \| NEWLINE INDENT statement+ DEDENT\n statement ::= stmt_list NEWLINE \| compound_stmt\n stmt_list ::= simple_stmt (";" simple_stmt) [";"]\n\nNote that statements always end in a "NEWLINE" possibly followed by a\n"DEDENT".

H A D	topics.py	3 'assignment': u'\nAssignment statements\n********************\n\nAssignment statements are used to (re)bind names to values and to\nmodify attributes or items of mutable objects:\n\n assignment_stmt ::= (target_list "=")+ (expression_list \| yield_expression)\n target_list ::= target ("," target) [","]\n target ::= identifier\n \| "(" target_list ")"\n \| "[" target_list "]"\n \| attributeref\n \| subscription\n \| slicing\n\n(See section Primaries for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn assignment statement evaluates the expression list (remember that\nthis can be a single expression or a comma-separated list, the latter\nyielding a tuple) and assigns the single resulting object to each of\nthe target lists, from left to right.\n\nAssignment is defined recursively depending on the form of the target\n(list). When a target is part of a mutable object (an attribute\nreference, subscription or slicing), the mutable object must\nultimately perform the assignment and decide about its validity, and\nmay raise an exception if the assignment is unacceptable. The rules\nobserved by various types and the exceptions raised are given with the\ndefinition of the object types (see section The standard type\nhierarchy).\n\nAssignment of an object to a target list is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target list is a single target: The object is assigned to\n that target.\n\n* If the target list is a comma-separated list of targets: The object\n must be an iterable with the same number of items as there are\n targets in the target list, and the items are assigned, from left to\n right, to the corresponding targets.\n\nAssignment of an object to a single target is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target is an identifier (name):\n\n * If the name does not occur in a ``global`` statement in the\n current code block: the name is bound to the object in the current\n local namespace.\n\n * Otherwise: the name is bound to the object in the current global\n namespace.\n\n The name is rebound if it was already bound. This may cause the\n reference count for the object previously bound to the name to reach\n zero, causing the object to be deallocated and its destructor (if it\n has one) to be called.\n\n* If the target is a target list enclosed in parentheses or in square\n brackets: The object must be an iterable with the same number of\n items as there are targets in the target list, and its items are\n assigned, from left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\n* If the target is an attribute reference: The primary expression in\n the reference is evaluated. It should yield an object with\n assignable attributes; if this is not the case, ``TypeError`` is\n raised. That object is then asked to assign the assigned object to\n the given attribute; if it cannot perform the assignment, it raises\n an exception (usually but not necessarily ``AttributeError``).\n\n Note: If the object is a class instance and the attribute reference\n occurs on both sides of the assignment operator, the RHS expression,\n ``a.x`` can access either an instance attribute or (if no instance\n attribute exists) a class attribute. The LHS target ``a.x`` is\n always set as an instance attribute, creating it if necessary.\n Thus, the two occurrences of ``a.x`` do not necessarily refer to the\n same attribute: if the RHS expression refers to a class attribute,\n the LHS creates a new instance attribute as the target of the\n assignment:\n\n class Cls:\n x = 3 # class variable\n inst = Cls()\n inst.x = inst.x + 1 # writes inst.x as 4 leaving Cls.x as 3\n\n This description does not necessarily apply to descriptor\n attributes, such as properties created with ``property()``.\n\n* If the target is a subscription: The primary expression in the\n reference is evaluated. It should yield either a mutable sequence\n object (such as a list) or a mapping object (such as a dictionary).\n Next, the subscript expression is evaluated.\n\n If the primary is a mutable sequence object (such as a list), the\n subscript must yield a plain integer. If it is negative, the\n sequence\'s length is added to it. The resulting value must be a\n nonnegative integer less than the sequence\'s length, and the\n sequence is asked to assign the assigned object to its item with\n that index. If the index is out of range, ``IndexError`` is raised\n (assignment to a subscripted sequence cannot add new items to a\n list).\n\n If the primary is a mapping object (such as a dictionary), the\n subscript must have a type compatible with the mapping\'s key type,\n and the mapping is then asked to create a key/datum pair which maps\n the subscript to the assigned object. This can either replace an\n existing key/value pair with the same key value, or insert a new\n key/value pair (if no key with the same value existed).\n\n* If the target is a slicing: The primary expression in the reference\n is evaluated. It should yield a mutable sequence object (such as a\n list). The assigned object should be a sequence object of the same\n type. Next, the lower and upper bound expressions are evaluated,\n insofar they are present; defaults are zero and the sequence\'s\n length. The bounds should evaluate to (small) integers. If either\n bound is negative, the sequence\'s length is added to it. The\n resulting bounds are clipped to lie between zero and the sequence\'s\n length, inclusive. Finally, the sequence object is asked to replace\n the slice with the items of the assigned sequence. The length of\n the slice may be different from the length of the assigned sequence,\n thus changing the length of the target sequence, if the object\n allows it.\n\nCPython implementation detail: In the current implementation, the\nsyntax for targets is taken to be the same as for expressions, and\ninvalid syntax is rejected during the code generation phase, causing\nless detailed error messages.\n\nWARNING: Although the definition of assignment implies that overlaps\nbetween the left-hand side and the right-hand side are \'safe\' (for\nexample ``a, b = b, a`` swaps two variables), overlaps within the\ncollection of assigned-to variables are not safe! For instance, the\nfollowing program prints ``[0, 2]``:\n\n x = [0, 1]\n i = 0\n i, x[i] = 1, 2\n print x\n\n\nAugmented assignment statements\n===============================\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list \| yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier \| attributeref \| subscription \| slicing\n augop ::= "+=" \| "-=" \| "=" \| "/=" \| "//=" \| "%=" \| "="\n \| ">>=" \| "<<=" \| "&=" \| "^=" \| "\|="\n\n(See section Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like ``x += 1`` can be rewritten as\n``x = x + 1`` to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect. In\nthe augmented version, ``x`` is only evaluated once. Also, when\npossible, the actual operation is performed in-place, meaning that\nrather than creating a new object and assigning that to the target,\nthe old object is modified instead.\n\nWith the exception of assigning to tuples and multiple targets in a\nsingle statement, the assignment done by augmented assignment\nstatements is handled the same way as normal assignments. Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible in-place behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same caveat about\nclass and instance attributes applies as for regular assignments.\n', 6 'attribute-access': u'\nCustomizing attribute access\n***************************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to customize the meaning of\nattribute access (use of, assignment to, or deletion of ``x.name``)\nfor class instances.\n\nobject.__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.\n This method should return the (computed) attribute value or raise\n an ``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\n for efficiency reasons and because otherwise ``__getattr__()``\n would have no way to access other attributes of the instance. Note\n that at least for instance variables, you can fake total control by\n not 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\nobject.__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\n cause a recursive call to itself. Instead, it should insert the\n value in the dictionary of instance attributes, e.g.,\n ``self.__dict__[name] = value``. For new-style classes, rather\n than accessing the instance dictionary, it should call the base\n class method with the same name, for example,\n ``object.__setattr__(self, name, value)``.\n\nobject.__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\nMore attribute access for new-style classes\n===========================================\n\nThe following methods only apply to new-style classes.\n\nobject.__getattribute__(self, name)\n\n Called unconditionally to implement attribute accesses for\n instances of the class. If the class also defines\n ``__getattr__()``, the latter will not be called unless\n ``__getattribute__()`` either calls it explicitly or raises an\n ``AttributeError``. This method should return the (computed)\n attribute value or raise an ``AttributeError`` exception. In order\n to avoid infinite recursion in this method, its implementation\n should always call the base class method with the same name to\n access any attributes it needs, for example,\n ``object.__getattribute__(self, name)``.\n\n Note: This method may still be bypassed when looking up special methods\n as the result of implicit invocation via language syntax or\n built-in functions. See Special method lookup for new-style\n classes.\n\n\nImplementing Descriptors\n========================\n\nThe following methods only apply when an instance of the class\ncontaining the method (a so-called descriptor class) appears in an\nowner class (the descriptor must be in either the owner\'s class\ndictionary or in the class dictionary for one of its parents). In the\nexamples below, "the attribute" refers to the attribute whose name is\nthe key of the property in the owner class\' ``__dict__``.\n\nobject.__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\n ``AttributeError`` exception.\n\nobject.__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\nobject.__delete__(self, instance)\n\n Called to delete the attribute on an instance instance of the\n owner class.\n\n\nInvoking Descriptors\n====================\n\nIn general, a descriptor is an object attribute with "binding\nbehavior", one whose attribute access has been overridden by methods\nin the descriptor protocol: ``__get__()``, ``__set__()``, and\n``__delete__()``. If any of those methods are defined for an object,\nit is said to be a descriptor.\n\nThe default behavior for attribute access is to get, set, or delete\nthe attribute from an object\'s dictionary. For instance, ``a.x`` has a\nlookup 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\nHowever, if the looked-up value is an object defining one of the\ndescriptor methods, then Python may override the default behavior and\ninvoke the descriptor method instead. Where this occurs in the\nprecedence chain depends on which descriptor methods were defined and\nhow they were called. Note that descriptors are only invoked for new\nstyle objects or classes (ones that subclass ``object()`` or\n``type()``).\n\nThe starting point for descriptor invocation is a binding, ``a.x``.\nHow the arguments are assembled depends on ``a``:\n\nDirect Call\n The simplest and least common call is when user code directly\n invokes a descriptor method: ``x.__get__(a)``.\n\nInstance 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\nClass Binding\n If binding to a new-style class, ``A.x`` is transformed into the\n call: ``A.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(None, A)``.\n\nSuper 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\n ``A`` immediately preceding ``B`` and then invokes the descriptor\n with the call: ``A.__dict__[\'m\'].__get__(obj, obj.__class__)``.\n\nFor instance bindings, the precedence of descriptor invocation depends\non the which descriptor methods are defined. A descriptor can define\nany combination of ``__get__()``, ``__set__()`` and ``__delete__()``.\nIf it does not define ``__get__()``, then accessing the attribute will\nreturn the descriptor object itself unless there is a value in the\nobject\'s instance dictionary. If the descriptor defines ``__set__()``\nand/or ``__delete__()``, it is a data descriptor; if it defines\nneither, it is a non-data descriptor. Normally, data descriptors\ndefine both ``__get__()`` and ``__set__()``, while non-data\ndescriptors have just the ``__get__()`` method. Data descriptors with\n``__set__()`` and ``__get__()`` defined always override a redefinition\nin an instance dictionary. In contrast, non-data descriptors can be\noverridden by instances.\n\nPython methods (including ``staticmethod()`` and ``classmethod()``)\nare implemented as non-data descriptors. Accordingly, instances can\nredefine and override methods. This allows individual instances to\nacquire behaviors that differ from other instances of the same class.\n\nThe ``property()`` function is implemented as a data descriptor.\nAccordingly, instances cannot override the behavior of a property.\n\n\n__slots__\n=========\n\nBy default, instances of both old and new-style classes have a\ndictionary for attribute storage. This wastes space for objects\nhaving very few instance variables. The space consumption can become\nacute when creating large numbers of instances.\n\nThe default can be overridden by defining __slots__ in a new-style\nclass definition. The __slots__ declaration takes a sequence of\ninstance variables and reserves just enough space in each instance to\nhold a value for each variable. Space is saved because __dict__ is\nnot 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\nNotes 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 defining\n __slots__ do not support weak references to its instances. If weak\n reference support is needed, then add ``\'__weakref__\'`` to the\n sequence of strings in the __slots__ 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\n a 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 instance\n variable defined by the base class slot is inaccessible (except by\n retrieving its descriptor directly from the base class). This\n 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\n ``tuple``.\n\n* Any non-string iterable may be assigned to __slots__. Mappings may\n 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', 8 'augassign': u'\nAugmented assignment statements\n******************************\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list \| yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier \| attributeref \| subscription \| slicing\n augop ::= "+=" \| "-=" \| "=" \| "/=" \| "//=" \| "%=" \| "*="\n \| ">>=" \| "<<=" \| "&=" \| "^=" \| "\|="\n\n(See section Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like ``x += 1`` can be rewritten as\n``x = x + 1`` to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect.

Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible in-place behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same caveat about\nclass and instance attributes applies as for regular assignments.\n', 13 'bltin-file-objects': u'\nFile Objects\n***********\n\nFile objects are implemented using C\'s ``stdio`` package and can be\ncreated with the built-in ``open()`` function. File objects are also\nreturned by some other built-in functions and methods, such as\n``os.popen()`` and ``os.fdopen()`` and the ``makefile()`` method of\nsocket objects. Temporary files can be created using the ``tempfile``\nmodule, and high-level file operations such as copying, moving, and\ndeleting files and directories can be achieved with the ``shutil``\nmodule.\n\nWhen a file operation fails for an I/O-related reason, the exception\n``IOError`` is raised. This includes situations where the operation\nis not defined for some reason, like ``seek()`` on a tty device or\nwriting a file opened for reading.\n\nFiles have the following methods:\n\nfile.close()\n\n Close the file. A closed file cannot be read or written any more.\n Any operation which requires that the file be open will raise a\n ``ValueError`` after the file has been closed. Calling ``close()``\n more than once is allowed.\n\n As of Python 2.5, you can avoid having to call this method\n explicitly if you use the ``with`` statement. For example, the\n following code will automatically close f* when the ``with`` block\n is exited:\n\n from __future__ import with_statement # This isn\'t required in Python 2.6\n\n with open("hello.txt") as f:\n for line in f:\n print line\n\n In older versions of Python, you would have needed to do this to\n get the same effect:\n\n f = open("hello.txt")\n try:\n for line in f:\n print line\n finally:\n f.close()\n\n Note: Not all "file-like" types in Python support use as a context\n manager for the ``with`` statement. If your code is intended to\n work with any file-like object, you can use the function\n ``contextlib.closing()`` instead of using the object directly.\n\nfile.flush()\n\n Flush the internal buffer, like ``stdio``\'s ``fflush()``. This may\n be a no-op on some file-like objects.\n\n Note: ``flush()`` does not necessarily write the file\'s data to disk.\n Use ``flush()`` followed by ``os.fsync()`` to ensure this\n behavior.\n\nfile.fileno()\n\n Return the integer "file descriptor" that is used by the underlying\n implementation to request I/O operations from the operating system.\n This can be useful for other, lower level interfaces that use file\n descriptors, such as the ``fcntl`` module or ``os.read()`` and\n friends.\n\n Note: File-like objects which do not have a real file descriptor should\n not provide this method!\n\nfile.isatty()\n\n Return ``True`` if the file is connected to a tty(-like) device,\n else ``False``.\n\n Note: If a file-like object is not associated with a real file, this\n method should not be implemented.\n\nfile.next()\n\n A file object is its own iterator, for example ``iter(f)`` returns\n f (unless f is closed). When a file is used as an iterator,\n typically in a ``for`` loop (for example, ``for line in f: print\n line``), the ``next()`` method is called repeatedly. This method\n returns the next input line, or raises ``StopIteration`` when EOF\n is hit when the file is open for reading (behavior is undefined\n when the file is open for writing). In order to make a ``for``\n loop the most efficient way of looping over the lines of a file (a\n very common operation), the ``next()`` method uses a hidden read-\n ahead buffer. As a consequence of using a read-ahead buffer,\n combining ``next()`` with other file methods (like ``readline()``)\n does not work right. However, using ``seek()`` to reposition the\n file to an absolute position will flush the read-ahead buffer.\n\n New in version 2.3.\n\nfile.read([size])\n\n Read at most size bytes from the file (less if the read hits EOF\n before obtaining size bytes). If the size argument is negative\n or omitted, read all data until EOF is reached. The bytes are\n returned as a string object. An empty string is returned when EOF\n is encountered immediately. (For certain files, like ttys, it\n makes sense to continue reading after an EOF is hit.) Note that\n this method may call the underlying C function ``fread()`` more\n than once in an effort to acquire as close to size bytes as\n possible. Also note that when in non-blocking mode, less data than\n was requested may be returned, even if no size parameter was\n given.\n\n Note: This function is simply a wrapper for the underlying ``fread()``\n C function, and will behave the same in corner cases, such as\n whether the EOF value is cached.\n\nfile.readline([size])\n\n Read one entire line from the file. A trailing newline character\n is kept in the string (but may be absent when a file ends with an\n incomplete line). [5] If the size argument is present and non-\n negative, it is a maximum byte count (including the trailing\n newline) and an incomplete line may be returned. When size is not\n 0, an empty string is returned only when EOF is encountered\n immediately.\n\n Note: Unlike ``stdio``\'s ``fgets()``, the returned string contains null\n characters (``\'\\0\'``) if they occurred in the input.\n\nfile.readlines([sizehint])\n\n Read until EOF using ``readline()`` and return a list containing\n the lines thus read. If the optional sizehint argument is\n present, instead of reading up to EOF, whole lines totalling\n approximately sizehint bytes (possibly after rounding up to an\n internal buffer size) are read. Objects implementing a file-like\n interface may choose to ignore sizehint if it cannot be\n implemented, or cannot b 43 'identifiers': u'\\nIdentifiers and keywords\\n***********************\\n\\nIdentifiers (also referred to as names) are described by the\\nfollowing lexical definitions:\\n\\n identifier ::= (letter\|"_") (letter \| digit \| "_")\\n letter ::= lowercase \| uppercase\\n lowercase ::= "a"..."z"\\n uppercase ::= "A"..."Z"\\n digit ::= "0"..."9"\\n\\nIdentifiers are unlimited in length.
