Bytes Objects
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
These functions raise :exc:`TypeError` when expecting a bytes parameter and are
|
|
called with a non-bytes parameter.
|
|
|
|
.. index:: object: bytes
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. ctype:: PyBytesObject
|
|
|
|
This subtype of :ctype:`PyObject` represents a Python bytes object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cvar:: PyTypeObject PyBytes_Type
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: BytesType (in module types)
|
|
|
|
This instance of :ctype:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python bytes type; it
|
|
is the same object as ``bytes`` in the Python layer. .
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: int PyBytes_Check(PyObject *o)
|
|
|
|
Return true if the object *o* is a bytes object or an instance of a subtype
|
|
of the bytes type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: int PyBytes_CheckExact(PyObject *o)
|
|
|
|
Return true if the object *o* is a bytes object, but not an instance of a
|
|
subtype of the bytes type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyBytes_FromString(const char *v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new bytes object with a copy of the string *v* as value on success,
|
|
and *NULL* on failure. The parameter *v* must not be *NULL*; it will not be
|
|
checked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(const char *v, Py_ssize_t len)
|
|
|
|
Return a new bytes object with a copy of the string *v* as value and length
|
|
*len* on success, and *NULL* on failure. If *v* is *NULL*, the contents of
|
|
the bytes object are uninitialized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyBytes_FromFormat(const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
Take a C :cfunc:`printf`\ -style *format* string and a variable number of
|
|
arguments, calculate the size of the resulting Python bytes object and return
|
|
a bytes object with the values formatted into it. The variable arguments
|
|
must be C types and must correspond exactly to the format characters in the
|
|
*format* string. The following format characters are allowed:
|
|
|
|
.. % XXX: This should be exactly the same as the table in PyErr_Format.
|
|
.. % One should just refer to the other.
|
|
.. % XXX: The descriptions for %zd and %zu are wrong, but the truth is complicated
|
|
.. % because not all compilers support the %z width modifier -- we fake it
|
|
.. % when necessary via interpolating PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T.

|
| Format Characters | Type | Comment |
|
|
+===================+===============+================================+
|
|
| :attr:`%%` | *n/a* | The literal % character. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%c` | int | A single character, |
|
|
| | | represented as an C int. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%d` | int | Exactly equivalent to |
|
|
| | | ``printf("%d")``. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%u` | unsigned int | Exactly equivalent to |
|
|
| | | ``printf("%u")``. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%ld` | long | Exactly equivalent to |
|
|
| | | ``printf("%ld")``. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%lu` | unsigned long | Exactly equivalent to |
|
|
| | | ``printf("%lu")``. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%zd` | Py_ssize_t | Exactly equivalent to |
|
|
| | | ``printf("%zd")``. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%zu` | size_t | Exactly equivalent to |
|

|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%i` | int | Exactly equivalent to |
|
|

|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+

|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%s` | char\* | A null-terminated C character |
|
|
| | | array. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
| :attr:`%p` | void\* | The hex representation of a C |
|
|
| | | pointer. Mostly equivalent to |
|
|
| | | ``printf("%p")`` except that |
|
|
| | | it is guaranteed to start with |
|
|
| | | the literal ``0x`` regardless |
|
|
| | | of what the platform's |
|
|
| | | ``printf`` yields. |
|
|
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
An unrecognized format character causes all the rest of the format string to be
|
|
copied as-is to the result string, and any extra arguments discarded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyBytes_FromFormatV(const char *format, va_list vargs)
|
|
|
|
Identical to :func:`PyBytes_FromFormat` except that it takes exactly two
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyBytes_FromObject(PyObject *o)
|
|
|
|
Return the bytes representation of object *o* that implements the buffer
|
|
protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyBytes_Size(PyObject *o)
|
|
|
|
Return the length of the bytes in bytes object *o*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyBytes_GET_SIZE(PyObject *o)
|
|
|
|
Macro form of :cfunc:`PyBytes_Size` but without error checking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: char* PyBytes_AsString(PyObject *o)
|
|
|
|
Return a NUL-terminated representation of the contents of *o*. The pointer
|
|
refers to the internal buffer of *o*, not a copy. The data must not be
|
|
modified in any way, unless the string was just created using
|
|
``PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(NULL, size)``. It must not be deallocated. If
|
|
*o* is not a string object at all, :cfunc:`PyBytes_AsString` returns *NULL*
|
|
and raises :exc:`TypeError`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: char* PyBytes_AS_STRING(PyObject *string)
|
|
|
|
Macro form of :cfunc:`PyBytes_AsString` but without error checking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: int PyBytes_AsStringAndSize(PyObject *obj, char **buffer, Py_ssize_t *length)
|
|
|
|
Return a NUL-terminated representation of the contents of the object *obj*
|
|
through the output variables *buffer* and *length*.
|
|
|
|
If *length* is *NULL*, the resulting buffer may not contain NUL characters;
|
|
if it does, the function returns ``-1`` and a :exc:`TypeError` is raised.
|
|
|
|
The buffer refers to an internal string buffer of *obj*, not a copy. The data
|
|
must not be modified in any way, unless the string was just created using
|
|
``PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(NULL, size)``. It must not be deallocated. If
|
|
*string* is not a string object at all, :cfunc:`PyBytes_AsStringAndSize`
|
|
returns ``-1`` and raises :exc:`TypeError`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: void PyBytes_Concat(PyObject **bytes, PyObject *newpart)
|
|
|
|
Create a new bytes object in *\*bytes* containing the contents of *newpart*
|
|
appended to *bytes*; the caller will own the new reference. The reference to
|
|
the old value of *bytes* will be stolen. If the new string cannot be
|
|
created, the old reference to *bytes* will still be discarded and the value
|
|
of *\*bytes* will be set to *NULL*; the appropriate exception will be set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: void PyBytes_ConcatAndDel(PyObject **bytes, PyObject *newpart)
|
|
|
|
Create a new string object in *\*bytes* containing the contents of *newpart*
|
|
appended to *bytes*. This version decrements the reference count of
|
|
*newpart*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: int _PyBytes_Resize(PyObject **bytes, Py_ssize_t newsize)
|
|
|
|
A way to resize a bytes object even though it is "immutable". Only use this
|
|
to build up a brand new bytes object; don't use this if the bytes may already
|
|
be known in other parts of the code. It is an error to call this function if
|
|
the refcount on the input bytes object is not one. Pass the address of an
|
|
existing bytes object as an lvalue (it may be written into), and the new size
|
|
desired. On success, *\*bytes* holds the resized bytes object and ``0`` is
|
|
returned; the address in *\*bytes* may differ from its input value. If the
|
|
reallocation fails, the original bytes object at *\*bytes* is deallocated,
|
|
*\*bytes* is set to *NULL*, a memory exception is set, and ``-1`` is
|
|
returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyBytes_Format(PyObject *format, PyObject *args)
|
|
|
|
Return a new bytes object from *format* and *args*. Analogous to ``format %
|
|
args``. The *args* argument must be a tuple.
