H A Dtopics.py61 'sequence-methods': u'\nAdditional methods for emulation of sequence types\n**************************************************\n\nThe following optional methods can be defined to further emulate\nsequence objects. Immutable sequences methods should at most only\ndefine ``__getslice__()``; mutable sequences might define all three\nmethods.\n\nobject.__getslice__(self, i, j)\n\n Deprecated since version 2.0: Support slice objects as parameters\n to the ``__getitem__()`` method. (However, built-in types in\n CPython currently still implement ``__getslice__()``. Therefore,\n you have to override it in derived classes when implementing\n slicing.)\n\n Called to implement evaluation of ``self[i:j]``. The returned\n object should be of the same type as *self*. Note that missing *i*\n or *j* in the slice expression are replaced by zero or\n ``sys.maxint``, respectively. If negative indexes are used in the\n slice, the length of the sequence is added to that index. If the\n instance does not implement the ``__len__()`` method, an\n ``AttributeError`` is raised. No guarantee is made that indexes\n adjusted this way are not still negative. Indexes which are\n greater than the length of the sequence are not modified. If no\n ``__getslice__()`` is found, a slice object is created instead, and\n passed to ``__getitem__()`` instead.\n\nobject.__setslice__(self, i, j, sequence)\n\n Called to implement assignment to ``self[i:j]``. Same notes for *i*\n and *j* as for ``__getslice__()``.\n\n This method is deprecated. If no ``__setslice__()`` is found, or\n for extended slicing of the form ``self[i:j:k]``, a slice object is\n created, and passed to ``__setitem__()``, instead of\n ``__setslice__()`` being called.\n\nobject.__delslice__(self, i, j)\n\n Called to implement deletion of ``self[i:j]``. Same notes for *i*\n and *j* as for ``__getslice__()``. This method is deprecated. If no\n ``__delslice__()`` is found, or for extended slicing of the form\n ``self[i:j:k]``, a slice object is created, and passed to\n ``__delitem__()``, instead of ``__delslice__()`` being called.\n\nNotice that these methods are only invoked when a single slice with a\nsingle colon is used, and the slice method is available. For slice\noperations involving extended slice notation, or in absence of the\nslice methods, ``__getitem__()``, ``__setitem__()`` or\n``__delitem__()`` is called with a slice object as argument.\n\nThe following example demonstrate how to make your program or module\ncompatible with earlier versions of Python (assuming that methods\n``__getitem__()``, ``__setitem__()`` and ``__delitem__()`` support\nslice objects as arguments):\n\n class MyClass:\n ...\n def __getitem__(self, index):\n ...\n def __setitem__(self, index, value):\n ...\n def __delitem__(self, index):\n ...\n\n if sys.version_info < (2, 0):\n # They won\'t be defined if version is at least 2.0 final\n\n def __getslice__(self, i, j):\n return self[max(0, i):max(0, j):]\n def __setslice__(self, i, j, seq):\n self[max(0, i):max(0, j):] = seq\n def __delslice__(self, i, j):\n del self[max(0, i):max(0, j):]\n ...\n\nNote the calls to ``max()``; these are necessary because of the\nhandling of negative indices before the ``__*slice__()`` methods are\ncalled. When negative indexes are used, the ``__*item__()`` methods\nreceive them as provided, but the ``__*slice__()`` methods get a\n"cooked" form of the index values. For each negative index value, the\nlength of the sequence is added to the index before calling the method\n(which may still result in a negative index); this is the customary\nhandling of negative indexes by the built-in sequence types, and the\n``__*item__()`` methods are expected to do this as well. However,\nsince they should already be doing that, negative indexes cannot be\npassed in; they must be constrained to the bounds of the sequence\nbefore being passed to the ``__*item__()`` methods. Calling ``max(0,\ni)`` conveniently returns the proper value.\n',
62 'sequence-types': u"\nEmulating container types\n*************************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to implement container objects.\nContainers usually are sequences (such as lists or tuples) or mappings\n(like dictionaries), but can represent other containers as well. The\nfirst set of methods is used either to emulate a sequence or to\nemulate a mapping; the difference is that for a sequence, the\nallowable keys should be the integers *k* for which ``0 <= k < N``\nwhere *N* is the length of the sequence, or slice objects, which\ndefine a range of items. (For backwards compatibility, the method\n``__getslice__()`` (see below) can also be defined to handle simple,\nbut not extended slices.) It is also recommended that mappings provide\nthe methods ``keys()``, ``values()``, ``items()``, ``has_key()``,\n``get()``, ``clear()``, ``setdefault()``, ``iterkeys()``,\n``itervalues()``, ``iteritems()``, ``pop()``, ``popitem()``,\n``copy()``, and ``update()`` behaving similar to those for Python's\nstandard dictionary objects. The ``UserDict`` module provides a\n``DictMixin`` class to help create those methods from a base set of\n``__getitem__()``, ``__setitem__()``, ``__delitem__()``, and\n``keys()``. Mutable sequences should provide methods ``append()``,\n``count()``, ``index()``, ``extend()``, ``insert()``, ``pop()``,\n``remove()``, ``reverse()`` and ``sort()``, like Python standard list\nobjects. Finally, sequence types should implement addition (meaning\nconcatenation) and multiplication (meaning repetition) by defining the\nmethods ``__add__()``, ``__radd__()``, ``__iadd__()``, ``__mul__()``,\n``__rmul__()`` and ``__imul__()`` described below; they should not\ndefine ``__coerce__()`` or other numerical operators. It is\nrecommended that both mappings and sequences implement the\n``__contains__()`` method to allow efficient use of the ``in``\noperator; for mappings, ``in`` should be equivalent of ``has_key()``;\nfor sequences, it should search through the values. It is further\nrecommended that both mappings and sequences implement the\n``__iter__()`` method to allow efficient iteration through the\ncontainer; for mappings, ``__iter__()`` should be the same as\n``iterkeys()``; for sequences, it should iterate through the values.\n\nobject.__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 object\n that doesn't define a ``__nonzero__()`` method and whose\n ``__len__()`` method returns zero is considered to be false in a\n Boolean context.\n\nobject.__getitem__(self, key)\n\n Called to implement evaluation of ``self[key]``. For sequence\n types, the accepted keys should be integers and slice objects.\n Note that the special interpretation of negative indexes (if the\n class wishes to emulate a sequence type) is up to the\n ``__getitem__()`` method. If *key* is of an inappropriate type,\n ``TypeError`` may be raised; if of a value outside the set of\n indexes for the sequence (after any special interpretation of\n negative values), ``IndexError`` should be raised. For mapping\n types, if *key* is missing (not in the container), ``KeyError``\n should be raised.\n\n Note: ``for`` loops expect that an ``IndexError`` will be raised for\n illegal indexes to allow proper detection of the end of the\n sequence.\n\nobject.__setitem__(self, key, value)\n\n Called to implement assignment to ``self[key]``. Same note as for\n ``__getitem__()``. This should only be implemented for mappings if\n the objects support changes to the values for keys, or if new keys\n can be added, or for sequences if elements can be replaced. The\n same exceptions should be raised for improper *key* values as for\n the ``__getitem__()`` method.\n\nobject.__delitem__(self, key)\n\n Called to implement deletion of ``self[key]``. Same note as for\n ``__getitem__()``. This should only be implemented for mappings if\n the objects support removal of keys, or for sequences if elements\n can be removed from the sequence. The same exceptions should be\n raised for improper *key* values as for the ``__getitem__()``\n method.\n\nobject.__iter__(self)\n\n This method is called when an iterator is required for a container.\n 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\n Iterator objects also need to implement this method; they are\n required to return themselves. For more information on iterator\n objects, see *Iterator Types*.\n\nobject.__reversed__(self)\n\n Called (if present) by the ``reversed()`` built-in to implement\n reverse iteration. It should return a new iterator object that\n iterates over all the objects in the container in reverse order.\n\n If the ``__reversed__()`` method is not provided, the\n ``reversed()`` built-in will fall back to using the sequence\n protocol (``__len__()`` and ``__getitem__()``). Objects that\n support the sequence protocol should only provide\n ``__reversed__()`` if they can provide an implementation that is\n more efficient than the one provided by ``reversed()``.\n\n New in version 2.6.\n\nThe membership test operators (``in`` and ``not in``) are normally\nimplemented as an iteration through a sequence. However, container\nobjects can supply the following special method with a more efficient\nimplementation, which also does not require the object be a sequence.\n\nobject.__contains__(self, item)\n\n Called to implement membership test operators. Should return true\n if *item* is in *self*, false otherwise. For mapping objects, this\n should consider the keys of the mapping rather than the values or\n the key-item pairs.\n\n For objects that don't define ``__contains__()``, the membership\n test first tries iteration via ``__iter__()``, then the old\n sequence iteration protocol via ``__getitem__()``, see *this\n section in the language reference*.\n",
66 'specialnames': u'\nSpecial method names\n********************\n\nA class can implement certain operations that are invoked by special\nsyntax (such as arithmetic operations or subscripting and slicing) by\ndefining methods with special names. This is Python\'s approach to\n*operator overloading*, allowing classes to define their own behavior\nwith respect to language operators. For instance, if a class defines\na method named ``__getitem__()``, and ``x`` is an instance of this\nclass, then ``x[i]`` is roughly equivalent to ``x.__getitem__(i)`` for\nold-style classes and ``type(x).__getitem__(x, i)`` for new-style\nclasses. Except where mentioned, attempts to execute an operation\nraise an exception when no appropriate method is defined (typically\n``AttributeError`` or ``TypeError``).\n\nWhen implementing a class that emulates any built-in type, it is\nimportant that the emulation only be implemented to the degree that it\nmakes sense for the object being modelled. For example, some\nsequences may work well with retrieval of individual elements, but\nextracting a slice may not make sense. (One example of this is the\n``NodeList`` interface in the W3C\'s Document Object Model.)\n\n\nBasic customization\n===================\n\nobject.__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\n an 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\nobject.__init__(self[, ...])\n\n Called when the instance is created. 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,\n if any, must explicitly call it to ensure proper initialization of\n the base class part of the instance; for example:\n ``BaseClass.__init__(self, [args...])``. As a special constraint\n on constructors, no value may be returned; doing so will cause a\n ``TypeError`` to be raised at runtime.\n\nobject.__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,\n the derived class\'s ``__del__()`` method, if any, must explicitly\n call it to ensure proper deletion of the base class part of the\n instance. Note that it is possible (though not recommended!) for\n the ``__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\n is only called when ``x``\'s reference count reaches zero. Some\n common situations that may prevent the reference count of an\n object from going to zero include: circular references between\n objects (e.g., a doubly-linked list or a tree data structure with\n parent and child pointers); a reference to the object on the\n stack frame of a function that caught an exception (the traceback\n stored in ``sys.exc_traceback`` keeps the stack frame alive); or\n a reference to the object on the stack frame that raised an\n unhandled 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\n references which are garbage are detected when the option cycle\n detector is enabled (it\'s on by default), but can only be cleaned\n up if there are no Python-level ``__del__()`` methods involved.\n Refer to the documentation for the ``gc`` module for more\n information about how ``__del__()`` methods are handled by the\n cycle detector, particularly the description of the ``garbage``\n value.\n\n Warning: Due to the precarious circumstances under which ``__del__()``\n methods are invoked, exceptions that occur during their execution\n are ignored, and a warning is printed to ``sys.stderr`` instead.\n Also, when ``__del__()`` is invoked in response to a module being\n deleted (e.g., when execution of the program is done), other\n globals referenced by the ``__del__()`` method may already have\n been deleted or in the process of being torn down (e.g. the\n import machinery shutting down). For this reason, ``__del__()``\n methods should do the absolute minimum needed to maintain\n external invariants. Starting with version 1.5, Python\n 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\nobject.__repr__(self)\n\n Called by the ``repr()`` built-in function and by string\n conversions (reverse quotes) to compute the "official" string\n representation of an object. If at all possible, this should look\n like a valid Python expression that could be used to recreate an\n object with the same value (given an appropriate environment). If\n this is not possible, a string of the form ``<...some useful\n description...>`` should be returned. The return value must be a\n string object. If a class defines ``__repr__()`` but not\n ``__str__()``, then ``__repr__()`` is also used when an "informal"\n string representation of instances of that class is required.\n\n This is typically used for debugging, so it is important that the\n representation is information-rich and unambiguous.\n\nobject.__str__(self)\n\n Called by the ``str()`` built-in function and by the ``print``\n statement to compute the "informal" string representation of an\n object. This differs from ``__repr__()`` in that it does not have\n to be a valid Python expression: a more convenient or concise\n representation may be used instead. The return value must be a\n string object.\n\nobject.__lt__(self, other)\nobject.__le__(self, other)\nobject.__eq__(self, other)\nobject.__ne__(self, other)\nobject.__gt__(self, other)\nobject.__ge__(self, other)\n\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\n ``x.__le__(y)``, ``x==y`` calls ``x.__eq__(y)``, ``x!=y`` and\n ``x<>y`` call ``x.__ne__(y)``, ``x>y`` calls ``x.__gt__(y)``, and\n ``x>=y`` calls ``x.__ge__(y)``.\n\n A rich comparison method may return the singleton\n ``NotImplemented`` if it does not implement the operation for a\n given pair of arguments. By convention, ``False`` and ``True`` are\n returned for a successful comparison. However, these methods can\n return any value, so if the comparison operator is used in a\n Boolean context (e.g., in the condition of an ``if`` statement),\n Python will call ``bool()`` on the value to determine if the result\n 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\n the paragraph on ``__hash__()`` for some important notes on\n creating *hashable* objects which support custom comparison\n operations and 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\n other\'s reflection, ``__le__()`` and ``__ge__()`` are each other\'s\n reflection, and ``__eq__()`` and ``__ne__()`` are their own\n reflection.\n\n Arguments to rich comparison methods are never coerced.\n\n To automatically generate ordering operations from a single root\n operation, see ``functools.total_ordering()``.\n\nobject.__cmp__(self, other)\n\n Called by comparison operations if rich comparison (see above) is\n not defined. Should return a negative integer if ``self < other``,\n zero if ``self == other``, a positive integer if ``self > other``.\n If no ``__cmp__()``, ``__eq__()`` or ``__ne__()`` operation is\n defined, class instances are compared by object identity\n ("address"). See also the description of ``__hash__()`` for some\n important notes on creating *hashable* objects which support custom\n comparison operations and are usable as dictionary keys. (Note: the\n restriction that exceptions are not propagated by ``__cmp__()`` has\n been removed since Python 1.5.)\n\nobject.__rcmp__(self, other)\n\n Changed in version 2.1: No longer supported.\n\nobject.__hash__(self)\n\n Called by built-in function ``hash()`` and for operations on\n members of hashed collections including ``set``, ``frozenset``, and\n ``dict``. ``__hash__()`` should return an integer. The only\n required property is that objects which compare equal have the same\n hash value; it is advised to somehow mix together (e.g. using\n exclusive or) the hash values for the components of the object that\n also play a part in comparison of objects.\n\n If a class does not define a ``__cmp__()`` or ``__eq__()`` method\n it should not define a ``__hash__()`` operation either; if it\n defines ``__cmp__()`` or ``__eq__()`` but not ``__hash__()``, its\n instances will not be usable in hashed collections. If a class\n defines mutable objects and implements a ``__cmp__()`` or\n ``__eq__()`` method, it should not implement ``__hash__()``, since\n hashable collection implementations require that a object\'s hash\n value is immutable (if the object\'s hash value changes, it will be\n in the wrong hash bucket).\n\n User-defined classes have ``__cmp__()`` and ``__hash__()`` methods\n by default; with them, all objects compare unequal (except with\n themselves) and ``x.__hash__()`` returns ``id(x)``.\n\n Classes which inherit a ``__hash__()`` method from a parent class\n but change the meaning of ``__cmp__()`` or ``__eq__()`` such that\n the hash value returned is no longer appropriate (e.g. by switching\n to a value-based concept of equality instead of the default\n identity based equality) can explicitly flag themselves as being\n unhashable by setting ``__hash__ = None`` in the class definition.\n Doing so 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\n Changed in version 2.6: ``__hash__`` may now be set to ``None`` to\n explicitly flag instances of a class as unhashable.\n\nobject.__nonzero__(self)\n\n Called to implement truth value testing and the built-in operation\n ``bool()``; should return ``False`` or ``True``, or their integer\n equivalents ``0`` or ``1``. When this method is not defined,\n ``__len__()`` is called, if it is defined, and the object is\n considered true if its result is nonzero. If a class defines\n neither ``__len__()`` nor ``__nonzero__()``, all its instances are\n considered true.\n\nobject.__unicode__(self)\n\n Called to implement ``unicode()`` built-in; should return a Unicode\n object. When this method is not defined, string conversion is\n attempted, and the result of string conversion is converted to\n Unicode using the system default encoding.\n\n\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\n*owner* 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\n\nCustomizing class creation\n==========================\n\nBy default, new-style classes are constructed using ``type()``. A\nclass definition is read into a separate namespace and the value of\nclass name is bound to the result of ``type(name, bases, dict)``.\n\nWhen the class definition is read, if *__metaclass__* is defined then\nthe callable assigned to it will be called instead of ``type()``. This\nallows classes or functions to be written which monitor or alter the\nclass creation process:\n\n* Modifying the class dictionary prior to the class being created.\n\n* Returning an instance of another class -- essentially performing the\n role of a factory function.\n\nThese steps will have to be performed in the metaclass\'s ``__new__()``\nmethod -- ``type.__new__()`` can then be called from this method to\ncreate a class with different properties. This example adds a new\nelement 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\nYou can of course also override other class methods (or add new\nmethods); for example defining a custom ``__call__()`` method in the\nmetaclass allows custom behavior when the class is called, e.g. not\nalways 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\nThe appropriate metaclass is determined by the following precedence\nrules:\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\nThe potential uses for metaclasses are boundless. Some ideas that have\nbeen explored including logging, interface checking, automatic\ndelegation, automatic property creation, proxies, frameworks, and\nautomatic resource locking/synchronization.\n\n\nCustomizing instance and subclass checks\n========================================\n\nNew in version 2.6.\n\nThe following methods are used to override the default behavior of the\n``isinstance()`` and ``issubclass()`` built-in functions.\n\nIn particular, the metaclass ``abc.ABCMeta`` implements these methods\nin order to allow the addition of Abstract Base Classes (ABCs) as\n"virtual base classes" to any class or type (including built-in\ntypes), including other ABCs.\n\nclass.__instancecheck__(self, instance)\n\n Return true if *instance* should be considered a (direct or\n indirect) instance of *class*. If defined, called to implement\n ``isinstance(instance, class)``.\n\nclass.__subclasscheck__(self, subclass)\n\n Return true if *subclass* should be considered a (direct or\n indirect) subclass of *class*. If defined, called to implement\n ``issubclass(subclass, class)``.\n\nNote that these methods are looked up on the type (metaclass) of a\nclass. They cannot be defined as class methods in the actual class.\nThis is consistent with the lookup of special methods that are called\non instances, only in this case the instance is itself a class.\n\nSee also:\n\n **PEP 3119** - Introducing Abstract Base Classes\n Includes the specification for customizing ``isinstance()`` and\n ``issubclass()`` behavior through ``__instancecheck__()`` and\n ``__subclasscheck__()``, with motivation for this functionality\n in the context of adding Abstract Base Classes (see the ``abc``\n module) to the language.\n\n\nEmulating callable objects\n==========================\n\nobject.__call__(self[, args...])\n\n Called when the instance is "called" as a function; if this method\n is defined, ``x(arg1, arg2, ...)`` is a shorthand for\n ``x.__call__(arg1, arg2, ...)``.\n\n\nEmulating container types\n=========================\n\nThe following methods can be defined to implement container objects.\nContainers usually are sequences (such as lists or tuples) or mappings\n(like dictionaries), but can represent other containers as well. The\nfirst set of methods is used either to emulate a sequence or to\nemulate a mapping; the difference is that for a sequence, the\nallowable keys should be the integers *k* for which ``0 <= k < N``\nwhere *N* is the length of the sequence, or slice objects, which\ndefine a range of items. (For backwards compatibility, the method\n``__getslice__()`` (see below) can also be defined to handle simple,\nbut not extended slices.) It is also recommended that mappings provide\nthe methods ``keys()``, ``values()``, ``items()``, ``has_key()``,\n``get()``, ``clear()``, ``setdefault()``, ``iterkeys()``,\n``itervalues()``, ``iteritems()``, ``pop()``, ``popitem()``,\n``copy()``, and ``update()`` behaving similar to those for Python\'s\nstandard dictionary objects. The ``UserDict`` module provides a\n``DictMixin`` class to help create those methods from a base set of\n``__getitem__()``, ``__setitem__()``, ``__delitem__()``, and\n``keys()``. Mutable sequences should provide methods ``append()``,\n``count()``, ``index()``, ``extend()``, ``insert()``, ``pop()``,\n``remove()``, ``reverse()`` and ``sort()``, like Python standard list\nobjects. Finally, sequence types should implement addition (meaning\nconcatenation) and multiplication (meaning repetition) by defining the\nmethods ``__add__()``, ``__radd__()``, ``__iadd__()``, ``__mul__()``,\n``__rmul__()`` and ``__imul__()`` described below; they should not\ndefine ``__coerce__()`` or other numerical operators. It is\nrecommended that both mappings and sequences implement the\n``__contains__()`` method to allow efficient use of the ``in``\noperator; for mappings, ``in`` should be equivalent of ``has_key()``;\nfor sequences, it should search through the values. It is further\nrecommended that both mappings and sequences implement the\n``__iter__()`` method to allow efficient iteration through the\ncontainer; for mappings, ``__iter__()`` should be the same as\n``iterkeys()``; for sequences, it should iterate through the values.\n\nobject.__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 object\n that doesn\'t define a ``__nonzero__()`` method and whose\n ``__len__()`` method returns zero is considered to be false in a\n Boolean context.\n\nobject.__getitem__(self, key)\n\n Called to implement evaluation of ``self[key]``. For sequence\n types, the accepted keys should be integers and slice objects.\n Note that the special interpretation of negative indexes (if the\n class wishes to emulate a sequence type) is up to the\n ``__getitem__()`` method. If *key* is of an inappropriate type,\n ``TypeError`` may be raised; if of a value outside the set of\n indexes for the sequence (after any special interpretation of\n negative values), ``IndexError`` should be raised. For mapping\n types, if *key* is missing (not in the container), ``KeyError``\n should be raised.\n\n Note: ``for`` loops expect that an ``IndexError`` will be raised for\n illegal indexes to allow proper detection of the end of the\n sequence.\n\nobject.__setitem__(self, key, value)\n\n Called to implement assignment to ``self[key]``. Same note as for\n ``__getitem__()``. This should only be implemented for mappings if\n the objects support changes to the values for keys, or if new keys\n can be added, or for sequences if elements can be replaced. The\n same exceptions should be raised for improper *key* values as for\n the ``__getitem__()`` method.\n\nobject.__delitem__(self, key)\n\n Called to implement deletion of ``self[key]``. Same note as for\n ``__getitem__()``. This should only be implemented for mappings if\n the objects support removal of keys, or for sequences if elements\n can be removed from the sequence. The same exceptions should be\n raised for improper *key* values as for the ``__getitem__()``\n method.\n\nobject.__iter__(self)\n\n This method is called when an iterator is required for a container.\n 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\n Iterator objects also need to implement this method; they are\n required to return themselves. For more information on iterator\n objects, see *Iterator Types*.\n\nobject.__reversed__(self)\n\n Called (if present) by the ``reversed()`` built-in to implement\n reverse iteration. It should return a new iterator object that\n iterates over all the objects in the container in reverse order.\n\n If the ``__reversed__()`` method is not provided, the\n ``reversed()`` built-in will fall back to using the sequence\n protocol (``__len__()`` and ``__getitem__()``). Objects that\n support the sequence protocol should only provide\n ``__reversed__()`` if they can provide an implementation that is\n more efficient than the one provided by ``reversed()``.\n\n New in version 2.6.\n\nThe membership test operators (``in`` and ``not in``) are normally\nimplemented as an iteration through a sequence. However, container\nobjects can supply the following special method with a more efficient\nimplementation, which also does not require the object be a sequence.\n\nobject.__contains__(self, item)\n\n Called to implement membership test operators. Should return true\n if *item* is in *self*, false otherwise. For mapping objects, this\n should consider the keys of the mapping rather than the values or\n the key-item pairs.\n\n For objects that don\'t define ``__contains__()``, the membership\n test first tries iteration via ``__iter__()``, then the old\n sequence iteration protocol via ``__getitem__()``, see *this\n section in the language reference*.\n\n\nAdditional methods for emulation of sequence types\n==================================================\n\nThe following optional methods can be defined to further emulate\nsequence objects. Immutable sequences methods should at most only\ndefine ``__getslice__()``; mutabl
