st_type File type.

match.pos The value of pos which was passed to the search() or match() method of a regex object. This is the index into the string at which the RE engine started looking for a match.

exception ipaddress.NetmaskValueError(ValueError) Any value error related to the netmask.

needs_input False if the decompress() method can provide more decompressed data before requiring new uncompressed input. New in version 3.5.

random.gammavariate(alpha, beta) Gamma distribution. (Not the gamma function!) Conditions on the parameters are alpha > 0 and beta > 0. The probability distribution function is: x ** (alpha - 1) * math.exp(-x / beta) pdf(x) = -------------------------------------- math.gamma(alpha) * beta ** alpha

seek(pos[, whence]) Set the file’s current position. whence argument is optional and defaults to os.SEEK_SET or 0 (absolute file positioning); other values are os.SEEK_CUR or 1 (seek relative to the current position) and os.SEEK_END or 2 (seek relative to the file’s end).

compare_signal(x, y) Compares the values of the two operands numerically.

os.setpgrp() Call the system call setpgrp() or setpgrp(0, 0) depending on which version is implemented (if any). See the Unix manual for the semantics. Availability: Unix.

ctypes.create_string_buffer(init_or_size, size=None) This function creates a mutable character buffer. The returned object is a ctypes array of c_char. init_or_size must be an integer which specifies the size of the array, or a bytes object which will be used to initialize the array items. If a bytes object is specified as first argument, the buffer is made one item larger than its length so that the last element in the array is a NUL termination character. An integer can be passed as second

Node.hasChildNodes() Returns true if the node has any child nodes.
