platform.processor() Returns the (real) processor name, e.g. 'amdk6'. An empty string is returned if the value cannot be determined. Note that many platforms do not provide this information or simply return the same value as for machine(). NetBSD does this.

Packer.pack_array(list, pack_item) Packs a variable length list of homogeneous items. First, the length of the list is packed as an unsigned integer, then each element is packed as in pack_farray() above.

class ctypes.c_ulong Represents the C unsigned long datatype. The constructor accepts an optional integer initializer; no overflow checking is done.

class gzip.GzipFile(filename=None, mode=None, compresslevel=9, fileobj=None, mtime=None) Constructor for the GzipFile class, which simulates most of the methods of a file object, with the exception of the truncate() method. At least one of fileobj and filename must be given a non-trivial value. The new class instance is based on fileobj, which can be a regular file, an io.BytesIO object, or any other object which simulates a file. It defaults to None, in which case filename is opened to prov

multiprocessing.sharedctypes.Array(typecode_or_type, size_or_initializer, *, lock=True) The same as RawArray() except that depending on the value of lock a process-safe synchronization wrapper may be returned instead of a raw ctypes array. If lock is True (the default) then a new lock object is created to synchronize access to the value. If lock is a Lock or RLock object then that will be used to synchronize access to the value. If lock is False then access to the returned object will not be

exception xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError The exception raised when Expat reports an error. See section ExpatError Exceptions for more information on interpreting Expat errors.

load() Read a pickled object representation from the open file object given in the constructor, and return the reconstituted object hierarchy specified therein. Bytes past the pickled object’s representation are ignored.

operator.__imod__(a, b) a = imod(a, b) is equivalent to a %= b.

socket.family The socket family.

class ctypes.Union(*args, **kw) Abstract base class for unions in native byte order.
