os.pwrite(fd, str, offset) Write bytestring to a file descriptor, fd, from offset, leaving the file offset unchanged. Availability: Unix. New in version 3.3.

xml.dom.pulldom.parse(stream_or_string, parser=None, bufsize=None) Return a DOMEventStream from the given input. stream_or_string may be either a file name, or a file-like object. parser, if given, must be an XMLReader object. This function will change the document handler of the parser and activate namespace support; other parser configuration (like setting an entity resolver) must have been done in advance.

operator.attrgetter(attr) operator.attrgetter(*attrs) Return a callable object that fetches attr from its operand. If more than one attribute is requested, returns a tuple of attributes. The attribute names can also contain dots. For example: After f = attrgetter('name'), the call f(b) returns b.name. After f = attrgetter('name', 'date'), the call f(b) returns (b.name, b.date). After f = attrgetter('name.first', 'name.last'), the call f(b) returns (b.name.first, b.name.last). Equivalent to:

class smtpd.MailmanProxy(localaddr, remoteaddr) Create a new pure proxy server. Arguments are as per SMTPServer. Everything will be relayed to remoteaddr, unless local mailman configurations knows about an address, in which case it will be handled via mailman. Note that running this has a good chance to make you into an open relay, so please be careful.

HTMLParser.handle_starttag(tag, attrs) This method is called to handle the start of a tag (e.g. <div id="main">). The tag argument is the name of the tag converted to lower case. The attrs argument is a list of (name, value) pairs containing the attributes found inside the tag’s <> brackets. The name will be translated to lower case, and quotes in the value have been removed, and character and entity references have been replaced. For instance, for the tag <A HREF="https://www

HTTPConnection.putrequest(request, selector, skip_host=False, skip_accept_encoding=False) This should be the first call after the connection to the server has been made. It sends a line to the server consisting of the request string, the selector string, and the HTTP version (HTTP/1.1). To disable automatic sending of Host: or Accept-Encoding: headers (for example to accept additional content encodings), specify skip_host or skip_accept_encoding with non-False values.

readline.read_init_file([filename]) Execute a readline initialization file. The default filename is the last filename used. This calls rl_read_init_file() in the underlying library.

with_prefixlen A string representation of the interface with the mask in prefix notation. >>> interface = IPv4Interface('192.0.2.5/24') >>> interface.with_prefixlen '192.0.2.5/24'

Handler.close() Tidy up any resources used by the handler. This version does no output but removes the handler from an internal list of handlers which is closed when shutdown() is called. Subclasses should ensure that this gets called from overridden close() methods.

array.tounicode() Convert the array to a unicode string. The array must be a type 'u' array; otherwise a ValueError is raised. Use array.tobytes().decode(enc) to obtain a unicode string from an array of some other type.
