Type Mapping
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The primitive IDL types used in the DOM specification are mapped to Python types
The IDL types used in the DOM specification are mapped to Python types
according to the following table.
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| IDL Type | Python Type |
+==================+===========================================+
| ``boolean`` | ``IntegerType`` (with a value of ``0`` or |
| | ``1``) |
| ``boolean`` | ``bool`` or ``int`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| ``int`` | ``IntegerType`` |
| ``int`` | ``int`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| ``long int`` | ``IntegerType`` |
| ``long int`` | ``int`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| ``unsigned int`` | ``IntegerType`` |
| ``unsigned int`` | ``int`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| ``DOMString`` | ``str`` or ``bytes`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| ``null`` | ``None`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
Additionally, the :class:`DOMString` defined in the recommendation is mapped to
a bytes or string object. Applications should be able to handle
Unicode whenever a string is returned from the DOM.
The IDL ``null`` value is mapped to ``None``, which may be accepted or
provided by the implementation whenever ``null`` is allowed by the API.
