Class PyType

        PyType

PyType(self, name, type_check, type_class, stringify=None) User defined type.

Named type that contains a type check function and a type class that inherits from ObjectifiedDataElement. The type check must take a string as argument and raise ValueError or TypeError if it cannot handle the string value. It may be None in which case it is not considered for type guessing.

Example:

PyType('int', int, MyIntClass).register()

Note that the order in which types are registered matters. The first matching type will be used.

Instance Methods [hide private]
 
__init__(self, name, type_check, type_class, stringify=None)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature
a new object with type S, a subtype of T
__new__(T, S, ...)
 
__repr__(...)
repr(x)
 
register(self, before=None, after=None)
Register the type.
 
unregister(self)

Inherited from object: __delattr__, __format__, __getattribute__, __hash__, __reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __setattr__, __sizeof__, __str__, __subclasshook__

Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, name, type_check, type_class, stringify=None)
(Constructor)

 
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature
Overrides: object.__init__

__new__(T, S, ...)

 
Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

__repr__(...)
(Representation operator)

 
repr(x)
Overrides: object.__repr__
(inherited documentation)

register(self, before=None, after=None)

 

Register the type.

The additional keyword arguments 'before' and 'after' accept a sequence of type names that must appear before/after the new type in the type list. If any of them is not currently known, it is simply ignored. Raises ValueError if the dependencies cannot be fulfilled.

xmlSchemaTypes

The list of XML Schema datatypes this Python type maps to.

Note that this must be set before registering the type!
