constantly._constants._Constant : API documentation

Instance Variable	name	A `str` giving the name of this constant; only set once the constant is initialized by `_ConstantsContainer`.
Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	__repr__	Return text identifying both which constant this is and which collection it belongs to.
Method	__lt__	Implements `<`. Order is defined by instantiation order.
Method	__le__	Implements `<=`. Order is defined by instantiation order.
Method	__gt__	Implements `>`. Order is defined by instantiation order.
Method	__ge__	Implements `>=`. Order is defined by instantiation order.
Instance Variable	_index	A `int` allocated from a shared counter in order to keep track of the order in which `_Constant`s are instantiated.
Instance Variable	_container	The `_ConstantsContainer` subclass this constant belongs to; `None` until the constant is initialized by that subclass.
Method	_realize	Complete the initialization of this `_Constant`.

_index =

A int allocated from a shared counter in order to keep track of the order in which _Constants are instantiated.

name =

A str giving the name of this constant; only set once the constant is initialized by _ConstantsContainer.

_container =

The _ConstantsContainer subclass this constant belongs to; None until the constant is initialized by that subclass.

def __init__(self):

Undocumented

def __repr__(self):

Return text identifying both which constant this is and which collection it belongs to.

def __lt__(self, other):

Implements <. Order is defined by instantiation order.

Parameters	other	An object.
Returns	`NotImplemented` if `other` is not a constant belonging to the same container as this constant, `True` if this constant is defined before `other`, otherwise `False`.

def __le__(self, other):

Implements <=. Order is defined by instantiation order.

Parameters	other	An object.
Returns	`NotImplemented` if `other` is not a constant belonging to the same container as this constant, `True` if this constant is defined before or equal to `other`, otherwise `False`.

def __gt__(self, other):

Implements >. Order is defined by instantiation order.

Parameters	other	An object.
Returns	`NotImplemented` if `other` is not a constant belonging to the same container as this constant, `True` if this constant is defined after `other`, otherwise `False`.

def __ge__(self, other):

Implements >=. Order is defined by instantiation order.

Parameters	other	An object.
Returns	`NotImplemented` if `other` is not a constant belonging to the same container as this constant, `True` if this constant is defined after or equal to `other`, otherwise `False`.

def _realize(self, container, name, value):

Complete the initialization of this _Constant.

Parameters	container	The `_ConstantsContainer` subclass this constant is part of.
	name	The name of this constant in its container.
	value	The value of this constant; not used, as named constants have no value apart from their identity.
