Constructor Detail

PyDictionary

public PyDictionary()
Create an empty dictionary.


PyDictionary

public PyDictionary(PyType subtype)
For derived types

Parameters:
subtype -

PyDictionary

public PyDictionary(java.util.Hashtable t)
Create an new dictionary which is based on the hashtable.

Parameters:
t - the hashtable used. The supplied hashtable is used as is and must only contain PyObject key:value pairs.

PyDictionary

public PyDictionary(PyObject[] elements)
Create a new dictionary with the element as content.

Parameters:
elements - The initial elements that is inserted in the dictionary. Even numbered elements are keys, odd numbered elements are values.
Method Detail

typeSetup

public static void typeSetup(PyObject dict,
                             PyType.Newstyle marker)

fromkeys

public PyObject fromkeys(PyObject keys)

fromkeys

public PyObject fromkeys(PyObject keys,
                         PyObject value)

safeRepr

public java.lang.String safeRepr()
                          throws PyIgnoreMethodTag
Overrides:
safeRepr in class PyObject
Throws:
PyIgnoreMethodTag

__len__

public int __len__()
Description copied from class: PyObject
Equivalent to the standard Python __len__ method. Part of the mapping discipline.

Overrides:
__len__ in class PyObject
Returns:
the length of the object

__nonzero__

public boolean __nonzero__()
Description copied from class: PyObject
Equivalent to the standard Python __nonzero__ method. Returns whether of not a given PyObject is considered true.

Overrides:
__nonzero__ in class PyObject

__finditem__

public PyObject __finditem__(int index)
Description copied from class: PyObject
A variant of the __finditem__ method which accepts a primitive int as the key. By default, this method will call __finditem__(PyObject key) with the appropriate args. The only reason to override this method is for performance.

Overrides:
__finditem__ in class PyObject
Parameters:
index - the key to lookup in this sequence.
Returns:
the value corresponding to key or null if key is not found.
See Also:
PyObject.__finditem__(PyObject)

__finditem__

public PyObject __finditem__(PyObject key)
Description copied from class: PyObject
Very similar to the standard Python __getitem__ method. Instead of throwing a KeyError if the item isn't found, this just returns null. Classes that wish to implement __getitem__ should override this method instead (with the appropriate semantics.

Overrides:
__finditem__ in class PyObject
Parameters:
key - the key to lookup in this container
Returns:
the value corresponding to key or null if key is not found

__setitem__

public void __setitem__(PyObject key,
                        PyObject value)
Description copied from class: PyObject
Equivalent to the standard Python __setitem__ method.

Overrides:
__setitem__ in class PyObject
Parameters:
key - the key whose value will be set
value - the value to set this key to

__delitem__

public void __delitem__(PyObject key)
Description copied from class: PyObject
Equivalent to the standard Python __delitem__ method.

Overrides:
__delitem__ in class PyObject
Parameters:
key - the key to be removed from the container

__iter__

public PyObject __iter__()
Description copied from class: PyObject
Return an iterator that is used to iterate the element of this sequence. From version 2.2, this method is the primary protocol for looping over sequences.

If a PyObject subclass should support iteration based in the __finditem__() method, it must supply an implementation of __iter__() like this:

    public PyObject __iter__() {
        return new PySequenceIter(this);
    }
 
When iterating over a python sequence from java code, it should be done with code like this:
    PyObject iter = seq.__iter__();
    for (PyObject item; (item = iter.__next__()) != null;  {
        // Do somting with item
    }
 

Overrides:
__iter__ in class PyObject

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class PyObject

__eq__

public PyObject __eq__(PyObject ob_other)
Description copied from class: PyObject
Equivalent to the standard Python __eq__ method.

Overrides:
__eq__ in class PyObject
Parameters:
ob_other - the object to compare this with.
Returns:
the result of the comparison.

__ne__

public PyObject __ne__(PyObject ob_other)
Description copied from class: PyObject
Equivalent to the standard Python __ne__ method.

Overrides:
__ne__ in class PyObject
Parameters:
ob_other - the object to compare this with.
Returns:
the result of the comparison.

__cmp__

public int __cmp__(PyObject ob_other)
Description copied from class: PyObject
Equivalent to the standard Python __cmp__ method.

Overrides:
__cmp__ in class PyObject
Parameters:
ob_other - the object to compare this with.
Returns:
-1 if this < 0; 0 if this == o; +1 if this > o; -2 if no comparison is implemented

Return true if the key exist in the dictionary.


get

public PyObject get(PyObject key,
                    PyObject default_object)

Parameters:
key - the key to lookup in the dictionary.
default_object - the value to return if the key does not exists in the mapping.

get

public PyObject get(PyObject key)
Return this[key] if the key exists in the mapping, None is returned otherwise.

Parameters:
key - the key to lookup in the dictionary.
