twisted.protocols.amp.IArgumentType : API documentation

def fromBox(name, strings, objects, proto): (source)

Given an argument name and an AMP box containing serialized values, extract one or more Python objects and add them to the objects dictionary.

Parameters	name	The name associated with this argument. Most commonly this is the key which can be used to find a serialized value in `strings`. (type: `bytes`)
	strings	The AMP box from which to extract one or more values. (type: `dict`)
	objects	The output dictionary to populate with the value for this argument. The key used will be derived from `name`. It may differ; in Python 3, for example, the key will be a Unicode/native string. See `_wireNameToPythonIdentifier`. (type: `dict`)
	proto	The protocol instance which received the AMP box being interpreted. Most likely this is an instance of `AMP`, but this is not guaranteed.
Returns	`None`

def toBox(name, strings, objects, proto): (source)

Given an argument name and a dictionary containing structured Python objects, serialize values into one or more strings and add them to the strings dictionary.

Parameters	name	The name associated with this argument. Most commonly this is the key in `strings` to associate with a `bytes` giving the serialized form of that object. (type: `bytes`)
	strings	The AMP box into which to insert one or more strings. (type: `dict`)
	objects	The input dictionary from which to extract Python objects to serialize. The key used will be derived from `name`. It may differ; in Python 3, for example, the key will be a Unicode/native string. See `_wireNameToPythonIdentifier`. (type: `dict`)
	proto	The protocol instance which will send the AMP box once it is fully populated. Most likely this is an instance of `AMP`, but this is not guaranteed.
Returns	`None`

Method	fromBox	Given an argument name and an AMP box containing serialized values, extract one or more Python objects and add them to the `objects` dictionary.
Method	toBox	Given an argument name and a dictionary containing structured Python objects, serialize values into one or more strings and add them to the `strings` dictionary.
