twisted.protocols.amp.ListOf(Argument) class documentation

Part of twisted.protocols.amp View Source (View In Hierarchy)

Encode and decode lists of instances of a single other argument type.

For example, if you want to pass:

   [3, 7, 9, 15]

You can create an argument like this:

   ListOf(Integer())

The serialized form of the entire list is subject to the limit imposed by MAX_VALUE_LENGTH. List elements are represented as 16-bit length prefixed strings. The argument type passed to the ListOf initializer is responsible for producing the serialized form of each element.

Parametersoptionala boolean indicating whether this argument can be omitted in the protocol.
Present Since10.0
Instance Variable elementType The Argument instance used to encode and decode list elements (note, not an arbitrary IArgument implementation: arguments must be implemented using only the fromString and toString methods, not the fromBox and toBox methods).
Method __init__ Create an Argument.
Method fromString Convert the serialized form of a list of instances of some type back into that list.
Method toString Serialize the given list of objects to a single string.

Inherited from Argument:

Method retrieve Retrieve the given key from the given dictionary, removing it if found.
Method fromBox Populate an 'out' dictionary with mapping names to Python values decoded from an 'in' AmpBox mapping strings to string values.
Method toBox Populate an 'out' AmpBox with strings encoded from an 'in' dictionary mapping names to Python values.
Method fromStringProto Convert a string to a Python value.
Method toStringProto Convert a Python object to a string.
