formatyear(theyear, width=3) Return a year’s calendar as an HTML table. width (defaulting to 3) specifies the number of months per row.

dumbdbm.close() Close the dumbdbm database.

os.spawnle(mode, path, ..., env) os.spawnlp(mode, file, ...) os.spawnlpe(mode, file, ..., env) os.spawnv(mode, path, args) os.spawnve(mode, path, args, env) os.spawnvp(mode, file, args) os.spawnvpe(mode, file, args, env) Execute the program path in a new process. (Note that the subprocess module provides more powerful facilities for spawning new processes and retrieving their results; using that module is preferable to using these functions. Check especially the Replacing Older Functions with

class collections.abc.MappingView class collections.abc.ItemsView class collections.abc.KeysView class collections.abc.ValuesView ABCs for mapping, items, keys, and values views.

pdb.runcall(function, *args, **kwds) Call the function (a function or method object, not a string) with the given arguments. When runcall() returns, it returns whatever the function call returned. The debugger prompt appears as soon as the function is entered.

platform.python_implementation() Returns a string identifying the Python implementation. Possible return values are: ‘CPython’, ‘IronPython’, ‘Jython’, ‘PyPy’.

mimetypes.init(files=None) Initialize the internal data structures. If given, files must be a sequence of file names which should be used to augment the default type map. If omitted, the file names to use are taken from knownfiles; on Windows, the current registry settings are loaded. Each file named in files or knownfiles takes precedence over those named before it. Calling init() repeatedly is allowed. Specifying an empty list for files will prevent the system defaults from being applied:

email.contentmanager.raw_data_manager This content manager provides only a minimum interface beyond that provided by Message itself: it deals only with text, raw byte strings, and Message objects. Nevertheless, it provides significant advantages compared to the base API: get_content on a text part will return a unicode string without the application needing to manually decode it, set_content provides a rich set of options for controlling the headers added to a part and controlling the conten

BaseCookie.value_decode(val) Return a decoded value from a string representation. Return value can be any type. This method does nothing in BaseCookie — it exists so it can be overridden.

emit(record) Outputs the record to the file, catering for rollover as described previously.
