Struct pyo3::types::PyType[][src]

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct PyType(_);
Expand description

Represents a reference to a Python type object.

Implementations

Creates a new type object.

Retrieves the underlying FFI pointer associated with this Python object.

Retrieves the PyType instance for the given FFI pointer.

Safety

  • The pointer must be non-null.
  • The pointer must be valid for the entire of the lifetime for which the reference is used.

Gets the name of the PyType.

Checks whether self is subclass of type T.

Equivalent to Python’s issubclass function.

Check whether obj is an instance of self.

Equivalent to Python’s isinstance function.

Methods from Deref<Target = PyAny>

Converts this PyAny to a concrete Python type.

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::{PyAny, PyDict, PyList};

Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let dict = PyDict::new(py);
    assert!(dict.is_instance::<PyAny>().unwrap());
    let any: &PyAny = dict.as_ref();
    assert!(any.downcast::<PyDict>().is_ok());
    assert!(any.downcast::<PyList>().is_err());
});

Determines whether this object has the given attribute.

This is equivalent to the Python expression hasattr(self, attr_name).

Retrieves an attribute value.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.attr_name.

Sets an attribute value.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.attr_name = value.

Deletes an attribute.

This is equivalent to the Python statement del self.attr_name.

Returns an Ordering between self and other.

This is equivalent to the following Python code:

if self == other:
    return Equal
elif a < b:
    return Less
elif a > b:
    return Greater
else:
    raise TypeError("PyAny::compare(): All comparisons returned false")

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyFloat;
use std::cmp::Ordering;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let a = PyFloat::new(py, 0_f64);
    let b = PyFloat::new(py, 42_f64);
    assert_eq!(a.compare(b)?, Ordering::Less);
    Ok(())
})?;

It will return PyErr for values that cannot be compared:

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::{PyFloat, PyString};

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let a = PyFloat::new(py, 0_f64);
    let b = PyString::new(py, "zero");
    assert!(a.compare(b).is_err());
    Ok(())
})?;

Tests whether two Python objects obey a given CompareOp.

Depending on the value of compare_op, this is equivalent to one of the following Python expressions:

compare_opPython expression
CompareOp::Eqself == other
CompareOp::Neself != other
CompareOp::Ltself < other
CompareOp::Leself <= other
CompareOp::Gtself > other
CompareOp::Geself >= other

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyInt;
use pyo3::class::basic::CompareOp;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let a: &PyInt = 0_u8.into_py(py).into_ref(py).downcast()?;
    let b: &PyInt = 42_u8.into_py(py).into_ref(py).downcast()?;
    assert!(a.rich_compare(b, CompareOp::Le)?.is_true()?);
    Ok(())
  })?;

Determines whether this object appears callable.

This is equivalent to Python’s callable() function.

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
       let builtins = PyModule::import(py, "builtins")?;
       let print = builtins.getattr("print")?;
       assert!(print.is_callable());
       Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the Python statement assert callable(print).

Note that unless an API needs to distinguish between callable and non-callable objects, there is no point in checking for callability. Instead, it is better to just do the call and handle potential exceptions.

Calls the object.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self(*args, **kwargs).

Calls the object without arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self().

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let module = PyModule::import(py, "builtins")?;
    let help = module.getattr("help")?;
    help.call0()?;
    Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the Python expression help().

Calls the object with only positional arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self(*args).

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let module = PyModule::import(py, "operator")?;
    let add = module.getattr("add")?;
    let args = (1,2);
    let value = add.call1(args)?;
    assert_eq!(value.extract::<i32>()?, 3);
    Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the following Python code:

from operator import add

value = add(1,2)
assert value == 3

Calls a method on the object.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.name(*args, **kwargs).

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::{PyDict, PyList};
use crate::pyo3::types::IntoPyDict;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let list = PyList::new(py, vec![3, 6, 5, 4, 7]);
    let kwargs = vec![("reverse", true)].into_py_dict(py);

    list.call_method("sort", (), Some(kwargs))?;
    assert_eq!(list.extract::<Vec<i32>>()?, vec![7, 6, 5, 4, 3]);
    Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the following Python code:

my_list = [3, 6, 5, 4, 7]
my_list.sort(reverse = True)
assert my_list == [7, 6, 5, 4, 3]

Calls a method on the object without arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.name().

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyFloat;
use std::f64::consts::PI;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let pi = PyFloat::new(py, PI);
    let ratio = pi.call_method0("as_integer_ratio")?;
    let (a, b) = ratio.extract::<(u64, u64)>()?;
    assert_eq!(a, 884_279_719_003_555);
    assert_eq!(b, 281_474_976_710_656);
    Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the following Python code:

import math

a, b = math.pi.as_integer_ratio()

Calls a method on the object with only positional arguments.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self.name(*args).

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyList;

Python::with_gil(|py| -> PyResult<()> {
    let list = PyList::new(py, vec![1, 3, 4]);
    list.call_method1("insert", (1, 2))?;
    assert_eq!(list.extract::<Vec<u8>>()?, [1, 2, 3, 4]);
    Ok(())
})?;

This is equivalent to the following Python code:

list_ = [1,3,4]
list_.insert(1,2)
assert list_ == [1,2,3,4]

Returns whether the object is considered to be true.

This is equivalent to the Python expression bool(self).

Returns whether the object is considered to be None.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self is None.

This is equivalent to the Python expression self[key] = value.

Deletes an item from the collection.

This is equivalent to the Python expression del self[key].

Takes an object and returns an iterator for it.

This is typically a new iterator but if the argument is an iterator, this returns itself.

Casts the PyObject to a concrete Python object type.

This can cast only to native Python types, not types implemented in Rust.
