stat(*, follow_symlinks=True) Return a stat_result object for this entry. This method follows symbolic links by default; to stat a symbolic link add the follow_symlinks=False argument. On Unix, this method always requires a system call. On Windows, it only requires a system call if follow_symlinks is True and the entry is a symbolic link. On Windows, the st_ino, st_dev and st_nlink attributes of the stat_result are always set to zero. Call os.stat() to get these attributes. The result is cac

regex.flags The regex matching flags. This is a combination of the flags given to compile(), any (?...) inline flags in the pattern, and implicit flags such as UNICODE if the pattern is a Unicode string.

items() Return an iterator over (key, message) pairs, where key is a key and message is a message representation, if called as iteritems() or return a list of such pairs if called as items(). The messages are represented as instances of the appropriate format-specific Message subclass unless a custom message factory was specified when the Mailbox instance was initialized.

pause_reading() Pause the receiving end of the transport. No data will be passed to the protocol’s data_received() method until resume_reading() is called.

XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Call method that uses XML passed via HTTP as a transport. With it, a client can call methods with parameters on a remote server (the server is named by a URI) and get back structured data. xmlrpc is a package that collects server and client modules implementing XML-RPC. The modules are: xmlrpc.client xmlrpc.server

DefaultCookiePolicy.strict_domain Don’t allow sites to set two-component domains with country-code top-level domains like .co.uk, .gov.uk, .co.nz.etc. This is far from perfect and isn’t guaranteed to work!

InteractiveConsole.interact(banner=None) Closely emulate the interactive Python console. The optional banner argument specify the banner to print before the first interaction; by default it prints a banner similar to the one printed by the standard Python interpreter, followed by the class name of the console object in parentheses (so as not to confuse this with the real interpreter – since it’s so close!). Changed in version 3.4: To suppress printing any banner, pass an empty string.

add_sequence(sequence) Add sequence to the list of sequences that include this message.

HTTPResponse.fileno() Return the fileno of the underlying socket.

ac_in_buffer_size The asynchronous input buffer size (default 4096).
