SQLite and Python types
Introduction
^^^^^^^^^^^^
-SQLite natively supports the following types: NULL, INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, BLOB.
+SQLite natively supports the following types: ``NULL``, ``INTEGER``,
+``REAL``, ``TEXT``, ``BLOB``.
The following Python types can thus be sent to SQLite without any problem:
+-------------------------------+-------------+
| Python type | SQLite type |
+===============================+=============+
-| ``None`` | NULL |
+| :const:`None` | ``NULL`` |
+-------------------------------+-------------+
-| :class:`int` | INTEGER |

+-------------------------------+-------------+
-| :class:`float` | REAL |

+-------------------------------+-------------+
-| :class:`bytes` (UTF8-encoded) | TEXT |

This is how SQLite types are converted to Python types by default:

The major theme of Python 2.6 is preparing the migration path to
Python 3.0, a major redesign of the language. Whenever possible,

This will produce the output::
treats the string as a template and takes the arguments to be formatted.
The formatting template uses curly brackets (`{`, `}`) as special characters::
- # Substitute positional argument 0 into the string.
- "User ID: {0}".format("root") -> "User ID: root"
-
- # Use the named keyword arguments
- 'User ID: {uid} Last seen: {last_login}'.format(
- uid='root',
- last_login = '5 Mar 2008 07:20') ->
- 'User ID: root Last seen: 5 Mar 2008 07:20'
+ >>> # Substitute positional argument 0 into the string.
+ >>> "User ID: {0}".format("root")
+ 'User ID: root'
+ >>> # Use the named keyword arguments
+ >>> "User ID: {uid} Last seen: {last_login}".format(
+ ... uid="root",
+ ... last_login = "5 Mar 2008 07:20")
+ 'User ID: root Last seen: 5 Mar 2008 07:20'
Curly brackets can be escaped by doubling them::
- format("Empty dict: {{}}") -> "Empty dict: {}"
+ >>> format("Empty dict: {{}}")
+ "Empty dict: {}"
Field names can be integers indicating positional arguments, such as
``{0}``, ``{1}``, etc. or names of keyword arguments. You can also
supply compound field names that read attributes or access dictionary keys::
- import sys
- 'Platform: {0.platform}\nPython version: {0.version}'.format(sys) ->
- 'Platform: darwin\n
- Python version: 2.6a1+ (trunk:61261M, Mar 5 2008, 20:29:41) \n
- [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)]'
+ >>> import sys
+ >>> print 'Platform: {0.platform}\nPython version: {0.version}'.format(sys)
+ Platform: darwin
+ Python version: 2.6a1+ (trunk:61261M, Mar 5 2008, 20:29:41)
+ [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)]'
- import mimetypes
- 'Content-type: {0[.mp4]}'.format(mimetypes.types_map) ->
- 'Content-type: video/mp4'
+ >>> import mimetypes
+ >>> 'Content-type: {0[.mp4]}'.format(mimetypes.types_map)
+ 'Content-type: video/mp4'
Note that when using dictionary-style notation such as ``[.mp4]``, you
don't need to put any quotation marks around the string; it will look
resulting string. The precise formatting used is also controllable by
adding a colon followed by a format specifier. For example::
- # Field 0: left justify, pad to 15 characters
- # Field 1: right justify, pad to 6 characters
- fmt = '{0:15} ${1:>6}'
-
- fmt.format('Registration', 35) ->
- 'Registration $ 35'
-
- fmt.format('Tutorial', 50) ->
- 'Tutorial $ 50'
-
- fmt.format('Banquet', 125) ->
- 'Banquet $ 125'
+ >>> # Field 0: left justify, pad to 15 characters
+ >>> # Field 1: right justify, pad to 6 characters
+ >>> fmt = '{0:15} ${1:>6}'
+ >>> fmt.format('Registration', 35)
+ 'Registration $ 35'
+ >>> fmt.format('Tutorial', 50)
+ 'Tutorial $ 50'
+ >>> fmt.format('Banquet', 125)
+ 'Banquet $ 125'
Format specifiers can reference other fields through nesting::
- fmt = '{0:{1}}'
-
- width = 15
- fmt.format('Invoice #1234', width) ->
- 'Invoice #1234 '
-
- width = 35
- fmt.format('Invoice #1234', width) ->
- 'Invoice #1234 '
+ >>> fmt = '{0:{1}}'
+ >>> width = 15
+ >>> fmt.format('Invoice #1234', width)
+ 'Invoice #1234 '
+ >>> width = 35
+ >>> fmt.format('Invoice #1234', width)
+ 'Invoice #1234 '
The alignment of a field within the desired width can be specified:
Format specifiers can also include a presentation type, which
controls how the value is formatted. For example, floating-point numbers
-can be formatted as a general number or in exponential notation:
+can be formatted as a general number or in exponential notation::
>>> '{0:g}'.format(3.75)
'3.75'
'3.750000e+00'
A variety of presentation types are available. Consult the 2.6
-documentation for a :ref:`complete list <formatstrings>`; here's a sample::
-
- 'b' - Binary. Outputs the number in base 2.
- 'c' - Character. Converts the integer to the corresponding
- Unicode character before printing.
- 'd' - Decimal Integer. Outputs the number in base 10.
- 'o' - Octal format. Outputs the number in base 8.
- 'x' - Hex format. Outputs the number in base 16, using lower-
- case letters for the digits above 9.
- 'e' - Exponent notation. Prints the number in scientific
- notation using the letter 'e' to indicate the exponent.
- 'g' - General format. This prints the number as a fixed-point
- number, unless the number is too large, in which case
- it switches to 'e' exponent notation.
- 'n' - Number. This is the same as 'g' (for floats) or 'd' (for
- integers), except that it uses the current locale setting to
- insert the appropriate number separator characters.
- '%' - Percentage. Multiplies the number by 100 and displays
- in fixed ('f') format, followed by a percent sign.

+``n`` Number. This is the same as 'g' (for floats) or 'd' (for integers),

+===== ========================================================================
Classes and types can define a :meth:`__format__` method to control how they're
formatted. It receives a single argument, the format specifier::
Python 2.6 has a ``__future__`` import that removes ``print`` as language
syntax, letting you use the functional form instead. For example::
- from __future__ import print_function
- print('# of entries', len(dictionary), file=sys.stderr)
+ >>> from __future__ import print_function
+ >>> print('# of entries', len(dictionary), file=sys.stderr)
The signature of the new function is::
def print(*args, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None)
+
The parameters are:
* *args*: positional arguments whose values will be printed out.
Python 2.6 adds :class:`bytes` as a synonym for the :class:`str` type,
and it also supports the ``b''`` notation.
+
+The 2.6 :class:`str` differs from 3.0's :class:`bytes` type in various
+ways; most notably, the constructor is completely different. In 3.0,
+``bytes([65, 66, 67])`` is 3 elements long, containing the bytes
+representing ``ABC``; in 2.6, ``bytes([65, 66, 67])`` returns the
+12-byte string representing the :func:`str` of the list.
+
+The primary use of :class:`bytes` in 2.6 will be to write tests of
+object type such as ``isinstance(x, bytes)``. This will help the 2to3
+converter, which can't tell whether 2.x code intends strings to
+contain either characters or 8-bit bytes; you can now
+use either :class:`bytes` or :class:`str` to represent your intention
+exactly, and the resulting code will also be correct in Python 3.0.
+
There's also a ``__future__`` import that causes all string literals
to become Unicode strings. This means that ``\u`` escape sequences
can be used to include Unicode characters::
and some of the methods of lists, such as :meth:`append`,
:meth:`pop`, and :meth:`reverse`.
+::
+
>>> b = bytearray('ABC')
>>> b.append('d')
>>> b.append(ord('e'))
now write::
def func(d):
- if not isinstance(d, collections.MutableMapping):
- raise ValueError("Mapping object expected, not %r" % d)
+ if not isinstance(d, collections.MutableMapping):
+ raise ValueError("Mapping object expected, not %r" % d)
Don't feel that you must now begin writing lots of checks as in the
above example. Python has a strong tradition of duck-typing, where
You can write your own ABCs by using ``abc.ABCMeta`` as the
metaclass in a class definition::
- from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
+ from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
- class Drawable():
- __metaclass__ = ABCMeta
+ class Drawable():
+ __metaclass__ = ABCMeta
- @abstractmethod
- def draw(self, x, y, scale=1.0):
- pass
+ @abstractmethod
+ def draw(self, x, y, scale=1.0):
+ pass
- def draw_doubled(self, x, y):
- self.draw(x, y, scale=2.0)
+ def draw_doubled(self, x, y):
+ self.draw(x, y, scale=2.0)
- class Square(Drawable):
- def draw(self, x, y, scale):
- ...
+ class Square(Drawable):
+ def draw(self, x, y, scale):
+ ...
In the :class:`Drawable` ABC above, the :meth:`draw_doubled` method
>>> class Circle(Drawable):
... pass
...
- >>> c=Circle()
+ >>> c = Circle()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class Circle with abstract methods draw
The :func:`int` and :func:`long` built-ins will now accept the "0o"
and "0b" prefixes when base-8 or base-2 are requested, or when the

Another new function, ``heappushpop(heap, item)``,
pushes *item* onto *heap*, then pops off and returns the smallest item.
each of the elements; if some of the iterables are shorter than
others, the missing values are set to *fillvalue*. For example::
- itertools.izip_longest([1,2,3], [1,2,3,4,5]) ->
- (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (None, 4), (None, 5)
+ >>> tuple(itertools.izip_longest([1,2,3], [1,2,3,4,5]))
+ ((1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (None, 4), (None, 5))
``product(iter1, iter2, ..., [repeat=N])`` returns the Cartesian product
of the supplied iterables, a set of tuples containing
every possible combination of the elements returned from each iterable. ::
- itertools.product([1,2,3], [4,5,6]) ->
- (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6),
- (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),

+ [(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6),
+ (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),
+ (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)]
The optional *repeat* keyword argument is used for taking the
product of an iterable or a set of iterables with themselves,
repeated *N* times. With a single iterable argument, *N*-tuples
are returned::
- itertools.product([1,2], repeat=3) ->
- (1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2), (1, 2, 1), (1, 2, 2),
- (2, 1, 1), (2, 1, 2), (2, 2, 1), (2, 2, 2)
+ >>> list(itertools.product([1,2], repeat=3))
+ [(1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2), (1, 2, 1), (1, 2, 2),
+ (2, 1, 1), (2, 1, 2), (2, 2, 1), (2, 2, 2)]
With two iterables, *2N*-tuples are returned. ::
- itertools.product([1,2], [3,4], repeat=2) ->
- (1, 3, 1, 3), (1, 3, 1, 4), (1, 3, 2, 3), (1, 3, 2, 4),
- (1, 4, 1, 3), (1, 4, 1, 4), (1, 4, 2, 3), (1, 4, 2, 4),
- (2, 3, 1, 3), (2, 3, 1, 4), (2, 3, 2, 3), (2, 3, 2, 4),
- (2, 4, 1, 3), (2, 4, 1, 4), (2, 4, 2, 3), (2, 4, 2, 4)

+ (2, 4, 1, 3), (2, 4, 1, 4), (2, 4, 2, 3), (2, 4, 2, 4)]
``combinations(iterable, r)`` returns sub-sequences of length *r* from
the elements of *iterable*. ::
- itertools.combinations('123', 2) ->
- ('1', '2'), ('1', '3'), ('2', '3')
-
- itertools.combinations('123', 3) ->
- ('1', '2', '3')
-
- itertools.combinations('1234', 3) ->
- ('1', '2', '3'), ('1', '2', '4'), ('1', '3', '4'),
- ('2', '3', '4')

+ >>> list(itertools.combinations('1234', 3))
+ [('1', '2', '3'), ('1', '2', '4'),
+ ('1', '3', '4'), ('2', '3', '4')]
``permutations(iter[, r])`` returns all the permutations of length *r* of
the iterable's elements. If *r* is not specified, it will default to the
number of elements produced by the iterable. ::
- itertools.permutations([1,2,3,4], 2) ->
- (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4),
- (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 4),

+ Rules for maintenance:
+
+ * Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time
+ on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
+ get rewritten to some degree.
+
+ * The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add
+ changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to
+ Misc/NEWS than to this file.
+
+ * This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
+ is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small
+ or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text,
+ I'll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn't spend
+ too much time on writing your addition.)
+
+ * If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
+ maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
+ section.
+
+ * It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For
+ example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
+ socket module." The maintainer will research the change and
+ write the necessary text.
+
+ * You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
+ necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
+
+ * Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is
+ sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
+
+ * It's helpful to add the bug/patch number in a parenthetical comment.
+
+ XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
