14 '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 socket\nobjects. Temporary files can be created using the "tempfile" module,\nand high-level file operations such as copying, moving, and deleting
73 'typesmapping': u'\nMapping Types --- "dict"\n************************\n\nA *mapping* object maps *hashable* values to arbitrary objects.\nMappings are mutable objects. There is currently only one standard\nmapping type, the *dictionary*. (For other containers see the built\nin "list", "set", and "tuple" classes, and the "collections" module.)\n\nA dictionary\'s keys are *almost* arbitrary values. Values that are\nnot *hashable*, that is, values containing lists, dictionaries or\nother mutable types (that are compared by value rather than by object\nidentity) may not be used as keys. Numeric types used for keys obey\nthe normal rules for numeric comparison: if two numbers compare equal\n(such as "1" and "1.0") then they can be used interchangeably to index\nthe same dictionary entry. (Note however, that since computers store\nfloating-point numbers as approximations it is usually unwise to use\nthem as dictionary keys.)\n\nDictionaries can be created by placing a comma-separated list of "key:\nvalue" pairs within braces, for example: "{\'jack\': 4098, \'sjoerd\':\n4127}" or "{4098: \'jack\', 4127: \'sjoerd\'}", or by the "dict"\nconstructor.\n\nclass dict(**kwarg)\nclass dict(mapping, **kwarg)\nclass dict(iterable, **kwarg)\n\n Return a new dictionary initialized from an optional positional\n argument and a possibly empty set of keyword arguments.\n\n If no positional argument is given, an empty dictionary is created.\n If a positional argument is given and it is a mapping object, a\n dictionary is created with the same key-value pairs as the mapping\n object. Otherwise, the positional argument must be an *iterable*\n object. Each item in the iterable must itself be an iterable with\n exactly two objects. The first object of each item becomes a key\n in the new dictionary, and the second object the corresponding\n value. If a key occurs more than once, the last value for that key\n becomes the corresponding value in the new dictionary.\n\n If keyword arguments are given, the keyword arguments and their\n values are added to the dictionary created from the positional\n argument. If a key being added is already present, the value from\n the keyword argument replaces the value from the positional\n argument.\n\n To illustrate, the following examples all return a dictionary equal\n to "{"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3}":\n\n >>> a = dict(one=1, two=2, three=3)\n >>> b = {\'one\': 1, \'two\': 2, \'three\': 3}\n >>> c = dict(zip([\'one\', \'two\', \'three\'], [1, 2, 3]))\n >>> d = dict([(\'two\', 2), (\'one\', 1), (\'three\', 3)])\n >>> e = dict({\'three\': 3, \'one\': 1, \'two\': 2})\n >>> a == b == c == d == e\n True\n\n Providing keyword arguments as in the first example only works for\n keys that are valid Python identifiers. Otherwise, any valid keys\n can be used.\n\n New in version 2.2.\n\n Changed in version 2.3: Support for building a dictionary from\n keyword arguments added.\n\n These are the operations that dictionaries support (and therefore,\n custom mapping types should support too):\n\n len(d)\n\n Return the number of items in the dictionary *d*.\n\n d[key]\n\n Return the item of *d* with key *key*. Raises a "KeyError" if\n *key* is not in the map.\n\n If a subclass of dict defines a method "__missing__()" and *key*\n is not present, the "d[key]" operation calls that method with\n the key *key* as argument. The "d[key]" operation then returns\n or raises whatever is returned or raised by the\n "__missing__(key)" call. No other operations or methods invoke\n "__missing__()". If "__missing__()" is not defined, "KeyError"\n is raised. "__missing__()" must be a method; it cannot be an\n instance variable:\n\n >>> class Counter(dict):\n ... def __missing__(self, key):\n ... return 0\n >>> c = Counter()\n >>> c[\'red\']\n 0\n >>> c[\'red\'] += 1\n >>> c[\'red\']\n 1\n\n The example above shows part of the implementation of\n "collections.Counter". A different "__missing__" method is used\n by "collections.defaultdict".\n\n New in version 2.5: Recognition of __missing__ methods of dict\n subclasses.\n\n d[key] = value\n\n Set "d[key]" to *value*.\n\n del d[key]\n\n Remove "d[key]" from *d*. Raises a "KeyError" if *key* is not\n in the map.\n\n key in d\n\n Return "True" if *d* has a key *key*, else "False".\n\n New in version 2.2.\n\n key not in d\n\n Equivalent to "not key in d".\n\n New in version 2.2.\n\n iter(d)\n\n Return an iterator over the keys of the dictionary. This is a\n shortcut for "iterkeys()".\n\n clear()\n\n Remove all items from the dictionary.\n\n copy()\n\n Return a shallow copy of the dictionary.\n\n fromkeys(seq[, value])\n\n Create a new dictionary with keys from *seq* and values set to\n *value*.\n\n "fromkeys()" is a class method that returns a new dictionary.\n *value* defaults to "None".\n\n New in version 2.3.\n\n get(key[, default])\n\n Return the value for *key* if *key* is in the dictionary, else\n *default*. If *default* is not given, it defaults to "None", so\n that this method never raises a "KeyError".\n\n has_key(key)\n\n Test for the presence of *key* in the dictionary. "has_key()"\n is deprecated in favor of "key in d".\n\n items()\n\n Return a copy of the dictionary\'s list of "(key, value)" pairs.\n\n **CPython implementation detail:** Keys and values are listed in\n an arbitrary order which is non-random, varies across Python\n implementations, and depends on the dictionary\'s history of\n insertions and deletions.\n\n If "items()", "keys()", "values()", "iteritems()", "iterkeys()",\n and "itervalues()" are called with no intervening modifications\n to the dictionary, the lists will directly correspond. This\n allows the creation of "(value, key)" pairs using "zip()":\n "pairs = zip(d.values(), d.keys())". The same relationship\n holds for the "iterkeys()" and "itervalues()" methods: "pairs =\n zip(d.itervalues(), d.iterkeys())" provides the same value for\n "pairs". Another way to create the same list is "pairs = [(v, k)\n for (k, v) in d.iteritems()]".\n\n iteritems()\n\n Return an iterator over the dictionary\'s "(key, value)" pairs.\n See the note for "dict.items()".\n\n Using "iteritems()" while adding or deletingdeleting entries in the\n dictionary may raise a "RuntimeError" or fail to iterate over\n all entries.\n\n New in version 2.2.\n\n itervalues()\n\n Return an iterator over the dictionary\'s values. See the note\n for "dict.items()".\n\n Using "itervalues()" while adding or deleting entries in the\n dictionary may raise a "RuntimeError" or fail to iterate over\n all entries.\n\n New in version 2.2.\n\n keys()\n\n Return a copy of the dictionary\'s list of keys. See the note\n for "dict.items()".\n\n pop(key[, default])\n\n If *key* is in the dictionary, remove it and return its value,\n else return *default*. If *default* is not given and *key* is\n not in the dictionary, a "KeyError" is raised.\n\n New in version 2.3.\n\n popitem()\n\n Remove and return an arbitrary "(key, value)" pair from the\n dictionary.\n\n "popitem()" is useful to destructively iterate over a\n dictionary, as often used in set algorithms. If the dictionary\n is empty, calling "popitem()" raises a "KeyError".\n\n setdefault(key[, default])\n\n If *key* is in the dictionary, return its value. If not, insert\n *key* with a value of *default* and return *default*. *default*\n defaults to "None".\n\n update([other])\n\n Update the dictionary with the key/value pairs from *other*,\n overwriting existing keys. Return "None".\n\n "update()" accepts either another dictionary object or an\n iterable of key/value pairs (as tuples or other iterables of\n length two). If keyword arguments are specified, the dictionary\n is then updated with those key/value pairs: "d.update(red=1,\n blue=2)".\n\n Changed in version 2.4: Allowed the argument to be an iterable\n of key/value pairs and allowed keyword arguments.\n\n values()\n\n Return a copy of the dictionary\'s list of values. See the note\n for "dict.items()".\n\n viewitems()\n\n Return a new view of the dictionary\'s items ("(key, value)"\n pairs). See below for documentation of view objects.\n\n New in version 2.7.\n\n viewkeys()\n\n Return a new view of the dictionary\'s keys. See below for\n documentation of view objects.\n\n New in version 2.7.\n\n viewvalues()\n\n Return a new view of the dictionary\'s values. See below for\n documentation of view objects.\n\n New in version 2.7.\n\n Dictionaries compare equal if and only if they have the same "(key,\n value)" pairs.\n\n\nDictionary view objects\n=======================\n\nThe objects returned by "dict.viewkeys()", "dict.viewvalues()" and\n"dict.viewitems()" are *view objects*. They provide a dynamic view on\nthe dictionary\'s entries, which means that when the dictionary\nchanges, the view reflects these changes.\n\nDictionary views can be iterated over to yield their respective data,\nand support membership tests:\n\nlen(dictview)\n\n Return the number of entries in the dictionary.\n\niter(dictview)\n\n Return an iterator over the keys, values or items (represented as\n tuples of "(key, value)") in the dictionary.\n\n Keys and values are iterated over in an arbitrary order which is\n non-random, varies across Python implementations, and depends on\n the dictionary\'s history of insertions and deletions. If keys,\n values and items views are iterated over with no intervening\n modifications to the dictionary, the order of items will directly\n correspond. This allows the creation of "(value, key)" pairs using\n "zip()": "pairs = zip(d.values(), d.keys())". Another way to\n create the same list is "pairs = [(v, k) for (k, v) in d.items()]".\n\n Iterating views while adding or deleting entries in the dictionary\n may raise a "RuntimeError" or fail to iterate over all entries.\n\nx in dictview\n\n Return "True" if *x* is in the underlying dictionary\'s keys, values\n or items (in the latter case, *x* should be a "(key, value)"\n tuple).\n\nKeys views are set-like since their entries are unique and hashable.\nIf all values are hashable, so that (key, value) pairs are unique and\nhashable, then the items view is also set-like. (Values views are not\ntreated as set-like since the entries are generally not unique.) Then\nthese set operations are available ("other" refers either to another\nview or a set):\n\ndictview & other\n\n Return the intersection of the dictview and the other object as a\n new set.\n\ndictview | other\n\n Return the union of the dictview and the other object as a new set.\n\ndictview - other\n\n Return the difference between the dictview and the other object\n (all elements in *dictview* that aren\'t in *other*) as a new set.\n\ndictview ^ other\n\n Return the symmetric difference (all elements either in *dictview*\n or *other*, but not in both) of the dictview and the other object\n as a new set.\n\nAn example of dictionary view usage:\n\n >>> dishes = {\'eggs\': 2, \'sausage\': 1, \'bacon\': 1, \'spam\': 500}\n >>> keys = dishes.viewkeys()\n >>> values = dishes.viewvalues()\n\n >>> # iteration\n >>> n = 0\n >>> for val in values:\n ... n += val\n >>> print(n)\n 504\n\n >>> # keys and values are iterated over in the same order\n >>> list(keys)\n [\'eggs\', \'bacon\', \'sausage\', \'spam\']\n >>> list(values)\n [2, 1, 1, 500]\n\n >>> # view objects are dynamic and reflect dict changes\n >>> del dishes[\'eggs\']\n >>> del dishes[\'sausage\']\n >>> list(keys)\n [\'spam\', \'bacon\']\n\n >>> # set operations\n >>> keys & {\'eggs\', \'bacon\', \'salad\'}\n {\'bacon\'}\n',
