Cmd.use_rawinput A flag, defaulting to true. If true, cmdloop() uses input() to display a prompt and read the next command; if false, sys.stdout.write() and sys.stdin.readline() are used. (This means that by importing readline, on systems that support it, the interpreter will automatically support Emacs-like line editing and command-history keystrokes.)

ArgumentParser.parse_args(args=None, namespace=None) Convert argument strings to objects and assign them as attributes of the namespace. Return the populated namespace. Previous calls to add_argument() determine exactly what objects are created and how they are assigned. See the documentation for add_argument() for details. By default, the argument strings are taken from sys.argv, and a new empty Namespace object is created for the attributes.

xmlparser.UnparsedEntityDeclHandler(entityName, base, systemId, publicId, notationName) Called for unparsed (NDATA) entity declarations. This is only present for version 1.2 of the Expat library; for more recent versions, use EntityDeclHandler instead. (The underlying function in the Expat library has been declared obsolete.)

csv.get_dialect(name) Return the dialect associated with name. An Error is raised if name is not a registered dialect name. This function returns an immutable Dialect.

tty.setraw(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH) Change the mode of the file descriptor fd to raw. If when is omitted, it defaults to termios.TCSAFLUSH, and is passed to termios.tcsetattr().

class turtle.ScrolledCanvas(master) Parameters: master – some Tkinter widget to contain the ScrolledCanvas, i.e. a Tkinter-canvas with scrollbars added Used by class Screen, which thus automatically provides a ScrolledCanvas as playground for the turtles.

Handler.createLock() Initializes a thread lock which can be used to serialize access to underlying I/O functionality which may not be threadsafe.

class smtpd.PureProxy(localaddr, remoteaddr) Create a new pure proxy server. Arguments are as per SMTPServer. Everything will be relayed to remoteaddr. Note that running this has a good chance to make you into an open relay, so please be careful.

DatagramProtocol.error_received(exc) Called when a previous send or receive operation raises an OSError. exc is the OSError instance. This method is called in rare conditions, when the transport (e.g. UDP) detects that a datagram couldn’t be delivered to its recipient. In many conditions though, undeliverable datagrams will be silently dropped.

datetime.strftime(format) Return a string representing the date and time, controlled by an explicit format string. For a complete list of formatting directives, see strftime() and strptime() Behavior.
