Convert a list of dictionaries into a list of AMP boxes on the wire.
For example, if you want to pass:
[{'a': 7, 'b': u'hello'}, {'a': 9, 'b': u'goodbye'}]
You might use an AmpList like this in your arguments or response list:
AmpList([('a', Integer()),
('b', Unicode())])
| Method | __init__ | Create an AmpList. |
| Instance Variable | subargs | Undocumented |
| Method | fromStringProto | Convert a string to a Python value. |
| Method | toStringProto | Convert a Python object to a string. |
Inherited from Argument:
| Instance Variable | optional | Undocumented |
| 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 | fromString | Convert a string to a Python object. Subclasses must implement this. |
| Method | toString | Convert a Python object into a string for passing over the network. |
Create an AmpList.
| Parameters | subargs | a list of 2-tuples of ('name', argument) describing the schema of the dictionaries in the sequence of amp boxes. (type: A list of (bytes, Argument) tuples.) |
| optional | a boolean indicating whether this argument can be omitted in the protocol. |
Convert a string to a Python value.
| Parameters | inString | the string to convert. (type: bytes) |
| proto | the protocol we are converting for. (type: AMP) | |
| Returns | a Python object. | |

| Parameters | inObject | the object to convert. |
| proto | the protocol we are converting for. (type: AMP) |
