compare_total_mag(x, y) Compares two operands using their abstract representation, ignoring sign.

streamreader Stream writer and reader classes or factory functions. These have to provide the interface defined by the base classes StreamWriter and StreamReader, respectively. Stream codecs can maintain state.

datetime.hour In range(24).

wsgiref.util.guess_scheme(environ) Return a guess for whether wsgi.url_scheme should be “http” or “https”, by checking for a HTTPS environment variable in the environ dictionary. The return value is a string. This function is useful when creating a gateway that wraps CGI or a CGI-like protocol such as FastCGI. Typically, servers providing such protocols will include a HTTPS variable with a value of “1” “yes”, or “on” when a request is received via SSL. So, this function returns “https” if su

bytes.capitalize() bytearray.capitalize() Return a copy of the sequence with each byte interpreted as an ASCII character, and the first byte capitalized and the rest lowercased. Non-ASCII byte values are passed through unchanged. Note The bytearray version of this method does not operate in place - it always produces a new object, even if no changes were made.

sum(iterable[, start]) Sums start and the items of an iterable from left to right and returns the total. start defaults to 0. The iterable‘s items are normally numbers, and the start value is not allowed to be a string. For some use cases, there are good alternatives to sum(). The preferred, fast way to concatenate a sequence of strings is by calling ''.join(sequence). To add floating point values with extended precision, see math.fsum(). To concatenate a series of iterables, consider using

dump(filename) Write the snapshot into a file. Use load() to reload the snapshot.

__getitem__(key) Return a representation of the message corresponding to key. If no such message exists, default is returned if the method was called as get() and a KeyError exception is raised if the method was called as __getitem__(). The message is represented as an instance of the appropriate format-specific Message subclass unless a custom message factory was specified when the Mailbox instance was initialized.

handleError() Handles an error which has occurred during emit(). The most likely cause is a lost connection. Closes the socket so that we can retry on the next event.

Packer.pack_bytes(bytes) Packs a variable length byte stream, similarly to pack_string().
