24 'conversions': '\nArithmetic conversions\n**********************\n\nWhen a description of an arithmetic operator below uses the phrase\n"the numeric arguments are converted to a common type," the arguments\nare coerced using the coercion rules listed at *Coercion rules*. If\nboth arguments are standard numeric types, the following coercions are\napplied:\n\n* If either argument is a complex number, the other is converted to\n complex;\n\n* otherwise, if either argument is a floating point number, the other\n is converted to floating point;\n\n* otherwise, if either argument is a long integer, the other is\n converted to long integer;\n\n* otherwise, both must be plain integers and no conversion is\n necessary.\n\nSome additional rules apply for certain operators (e.g., a string left\nargument to the \'%\' operator). Extensions can define their own\ncoercions.\n',

50 'numeric-types': '\nEmulating numeric types\n***********************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to emulate numeric objects.\nMethods corresponding to operations that are not supported by the\nparticular kind of number implemented (e.g., bitwise operations for\nnon-integral numbers) should be left undefined.\n\nobject.__add__(self, other)\nobject.__sub__(self, other)\nobject.__mul__(self, other)\nobject.__floordiv__(self, other)\nobject.__mod__(self, other)\nobject.__divmod__(self, other)\nobject.__pow__(self, other[, modulo])\nobject.__lshift__(self, other)\nobject.__rshift__(self, other)\nobject.__and__(self, other)\nobject.__xor__(self, other)\nobject.__or__(self, other)\n\n These methods are called to implement the binary arithmetic\n operations (``+``, ``-``, ``*``, ``//``, ``%``, ``divmod()``,\n ``pow()``, ``**``, ``<<``, ``>>``, ``&``, ``^``, ``|``). For\n instance, to evaluate the expression ``x + y``, where *x* is an\n instance of a class that has an ``__add__()`` method,\n ``x.__add__(y)`` is called. The ``__divmod__()`` method should be\n the equivalent to using ``__floordiv__()`` and ``__mod__()``; it\n should not be related to ``__truediv__()`` (described below). Note\n that ``__pow__()`` should be defined to accept an optional third\n argument if the ternary version of the built-in ``pow()`` function\n is to be supported.\n\n If one of those methods does not support the operation with the\n supplied arguments, it should return ``NotImplemented``.\n\nobject.__div__(self, other)\nobject.__truediv__(self, other)\n\n The division operator (``/``) is implemented by these methods. The\n ``__truediv__()`` method is used when ``__future__.division`` is in\n effect, otherwise ``__div__()`` is used. If only one of these two\n methods is defined, the object will not support division in the\n alternate context; ``TypeError`` will be raised instead.\n\nobject.__radd__(self, other)\nobject.__rsub__(self, other)\nobject.__rmul__(self, other)\nobject.__rdiv__(self, other)\nobject.__rtruediv__(self, other)\nobject.__rfloordiv__(self, other)\nobject.__rmod__(self, other)\nobject.__rdivmod__(self, other)\nobject.__rpow__(self, other)\nobject.__rlshift__(self, other)\nobject.__rrshift__(self, other)\nobject.__rand__(self, other)\nobject.__rxor__(self, other)\nobject.__ror__(self, other)\n\n These methods are called to implement the binary arithmetic\n operations (``+``, ``-``, ``*``, ``/``, ``%``, ``divmod()``,\n ``pow()``, ``**``, ``<<``, ``>>``, ``&``, ``^``, ``|``) with\n reflected (swapped) operands. These functions are only called if\n the left operand does not support the corresponding operation and\n the operands are of different types. [2] For instance, to evaluate\n the expression ``x - y``, where *y* is an instance of a class that\n has an ``__rsub__()`` method, ``y.__rsub__(x)`` is called if\n ``x.__sub__(y)`` returns *NotImplemented*.\n\n Note that ternary ``pow()`` will not try calling ``__rpow__()``\n (the coercioncoercion (but sometimes, if the implementation\n of the other type cannot be changed, it is useful to do the\n conversion to the other type here).

54 'power': '\nThe power operator\n******************\n\nThe power operator binds more tightly than unary operators on its\nleft; it binds less tightly than unary operators on its right. The\nsyntax is:\n\n power ::= primary ["**" u_expr]\n\nThus, in an unparenthesized sequence of power and unary operators, the\noperators are evaluated from right to left (this does not constrain\nthe evaluation order for the operands): ``-1**2`` results in ``-1``.\n\nThe power operator has the same semantics as the built-in ``pow()``\nfunction, when called with two arguments: it yields its left argument\nraised to the power of its right argument. The numeric arguments are\nfirst converted to a common type. The result type is that of the\narguments after coercion.\n\nWith mixed operand types, the coercion rules for binary arithmetic\noperators apply. For int and long int operands, the result has the\nsame type as the operands (after coercion) unless the second argument\nis negative; in that case, all arguments are converted to float and a\nfloat result is delivered. For example, ``10**2`` returns ``100``, but\n``10**-2`` returns ``0.01``. (This last feature was added in Python\n2.2. In Python 2.1 and before, if both arguments were of integer types\nand the second argument was negative, an exception was raised).\n\nRaising ``0.0`` to a negative power results in a\n``ZeroDivisionError``. Raising a negative number to a fractional power\nresults in a ``ValueError``.\n',
61 coercion rules would become too complicated).\n\n Note: If the right operand\'s type is a subclass of the left operand\'s\n type and that subclass provides the reflected method for the\n operation, this method will be called before the left operand\'s\n non-reflected method. This behavior allows subclasses to\n override their ancestors\' operations.\n\nobject.__iadd__(self, other)\nobject.__isub__(self, other)\nobject.__imul__(self, other)\nobject.__idiv__(self, other)\nobject.__itruediv__(self, other)\nobject.__ifloordiv__(self, other)\nobject.__imod__(self, other)\nobject.__ipow__(self, other[, modulo])\nobject.__ilshift__(self, other)\nobject.__irshift__(self, other)\nobject.__iand__(self, other)\nobject.__ixor__(self, other)\nobject.__ior__(self, other)\n\n These methods are called to implement the augmented arithmetic\n assignments (``+=``, ``-=``, ``*=``, ``/=``, ``//=``, ``%=``,\n ``**=``, ``<<=``, ``>>=``, ``&=``, ``^=``, ``|=``). These methods\n should attempt to do the operation in-place (modifying *self*) and\n return the result (which could be, but does not have to be,\n *self*). If a specific method is not defined, the augmented\n assignment falls back to the normal methods. For instance, to\n execute the statement ``x += y``, where *x* is an instance of a\n class that has an ``__iadd__()`` method, ``x.__iadd__(y)`` is\n called. If *x* is an instance of a class that does not define a\n ``__iadd__()`` method, ``x.__add__(y)`` and ``y.__radd__(x)`` are\n considered, as with the evaluation of ``x + y``.\n\nobject.__neg__(self)\nobject.__pos__(self)\nobject.__abs__(self)\nobject.__invert__(self)\n\n Called to implement the unary arithmetic operations (``-``, ``+``,\n ``abs()`` and ``~``).\n\nobject.__complex__(self)\nobject.__int__(self)\nobject.__long__(self)\nobject.__float__(self)\n\n Called to implement the built-in functions ``complex()``,\n ``int()``, ``long()``, and ``float()``. Should return a value of\n the appropriate type.\n\nobject.__oct__(self)\nobject.__hex__(self)\n\n Called to implement the built-in functions ``oct()`` and ``hex()``.\n Should return a string value.\n\nobject.__index__(self)\n\n Called to implement ``operator.index()``. Also called whenever\n Python needs an integer object (such as in slicing). Must return\n an integer (int or long).\n\n New in version 2.5.\n\nobject.__coerce__(self, other)\n\n Called to implement "mixed-mode" numeric arithmetic. Should either\n return a 2-tuple containing *self* and *other* converted to a\n common numeric type, or ``None`` if conversion is impossible. When\n the common type would be the type of ``other``, it is sufficient to\n return ``None``, since the interpreter will also ask the other\n object to attempt a coercion (but sometimes, if the implementation\n of the other type cannot be changed, it is useful to do the\n conversion to the other type here). A return value of\n ``NotImplemented`` is equivalent to returning ``None``.\n\n\nCoercion rules\n==============\n\nThis section used to document the rules for coercion. As the language\nhas evolved, the coercion rules have become hard to document\nprecisely; documenting what one version of one particular\nimplementation does is undesirable. Instead, here are some informal\nguidelines regarding coercion. In Python 3, coercion will not be\nsupported.\n\n* If the left operand of a % operator is a string or Unicode object,\n no coercion takes place and the string formatting operation is\n invoked instead.\n\n* It is no longer recommended to define a coercion operation. Mixed-\n mode operations on types that don\'t define coercion pass the\n original arguments to the operation.\n\n* New-style classes (those derived from ``object``) never invoke the\n ``__coerce__()`` method in response to a binary operator; the only\n time ``__coerce__()`` is invoked is when the built-in function\n ``coerce()`` is called.\n\n* For most intents and purposes, an operator that returns\n ``NotImplemented`` is treated the same as one that is not\n implemented at all.\n\n* Below, ``__op__()`` and ``__rop__()`` are used to signify the\n generic method names corresponding to an operator; ``__iop__()`` is\n used for the corresponding in-place operator. For example, for the\n operator \'``+``\', ``__add__()`` and ``__radd__()`` are used for the\n left and right variant of the binary operator, and ``__iadd__()``\n for the in-place variant.\n\n* For objects *x* and *y*, first ``x.__op__(y)`` is tried. If this is\n not implemented or returns ``NotImplemented``, ``y.__rop__(x)`` is\n tried. If this is also not implemented or returns\n ``NotImplemented``, a ``TypeError`` exception is raised. But see\n the following exception:\n\n* Exception to the previous item: if the left operand is an instance\n of a built-in type or a new-style class, and the right operand is an\n instance of a proper subclass of that type or class and overrides\n the base\'s ``__rop__()`` method, the right operand\'s ``__rop__()``\n method is tried *before* the left operand\'s ``__op__()`` method.\n\n This is done so that a subclass can completely override binary\n operators. Otherwise, the left operand\'s ``__op__()`` method would\n always accept the right operand: when an instance of a given class\n is expected, an instance of a subclass of that class is always\n acceptable.\n\n* When either operand type defines a coercion, this coercion is called\n before that type\'s ``__op__()`` or ``__rop__()`` method is called,\n but no sooner. If the coercion returns an object of a different\n type for the operand whose coercion is invoked, part of the process\n is redone using the new object.\n\n* When an in-place operator (like \'``+=``\') is used, if the left\n operand implements ``__iop__()``, it is invoked without any\n coercion. When the operation falls back to ``__op__()`` and/or\n ``__rop__()``, the normal coercion rules apply.\n\n* In ``x + y``, if *x* is a sequence that implements sequence\n concatenation, sequence concatenation is invoked.\n\n* In ``x * y``, if one operand is a sequence that implements sequence\n repetition, and the other is an integer (``int`` or ``long``),\n sequence repetition is invoked.\n\n* Rich comparisons (implemented by methods ``__eq__()`` and so on)\n never use coercion. Three-way comparison (implemented by\n ``__cmp__()``) does use coercion under the same conditions as other\n binary operations use it.\n\n* In the current implementation, the built-in numeric types ``int``,\n ``long``, ``float``, and ``complex`` do not use coercion
