labm8.types¶
Python type utilities.
-
labm8.types.dict_values(src)¶ Recursively get values in dict.
Unlike the builtin dict.values() function, this method will descend into nested dicts, returning all nested values.
Parameters: src (dict) – Source dict. Returns: List of values. Return type: list
-
labm8.types.flatten(lists)¶ Flatten a list of lists.
-
labm8.types.get_class_that_defined_method(meth)¶ Return the class that defines a method.
Parameters: meth (str) – Class method. Returns: Class object, or None if not a class method. Return type: class
-
labm8.types.is_dict(obj)¶ Check if an object is a dict.
-
labm8.types.is_seq(obj)¶ Check if an object is a sequence.
-
labm8.types.is_str(s)¶ Return whether variable is string type.
On python 3, unicode encoding is not string type. On python 2, it is.
Parameters: s – Value. Returns: True if is string, else false. Return type: bool
-
labm8.types.update(dst, src)¶ Recursively update values in dst from src.
Unlike the builtin dict.update() function, this method will decend into nested dicts, updating all nested values.
Parameters: - dst (dict) – Destination dict.
- src (dict) – Source dict.
Returns: dst updated with entries from src.
Return type: dict
