os.wait3(options) Similar to waitpid(), except no process id argument is given and a 3-element tuple containing the child’s process id, exit status indication, and resource usage information is returned. Refer to resource.getrusage() for details on resource usage information. The option argument is the same as that provided to waitpid() and wait4(). Availability: Unix.

window.getkey([y, x]) Get a character, returning a string instead of an integer, as getch() does. Function keys, keypad keys and other special keys return a multibyte string containing the key name. In no-delay mode, an exception is raised if there is no input.

staticmethod(function) Return a static method for function. A static method does not receive an implicit first argument. To declare a static method, use this idiom: class C: @staticmethod def f(arg1, arg2, ...): ... The @staticmethod form is a function decorator – see the description of function definitions in Function definitions for details. It can be called either on the class (such as C.f()) or on an instance (such as C().f()). The instance is ignored except for its class. Stati

class codecs.StreamReader(stream, errors='strict') Constructor for a StreamReader instance. All stream readers must provide this constructor interface. They are free to add additional keyword arguments, but only the ones defined here are used by the Python codec registry. The stream argument must be a file-like object open for reading text or binary data, as appropriate for the specific codec. The StreamReader may implement different error handling schemes by providing the errors keyword arg

exception PendingDeprecationWarning Base class for warnings about features which will be deprecated in the future.

turtle.shapesize(stretch_wid=None, stretch_len=None, outline=None) turtle.turtlesize(stretch_wid=None, stretch_len=None, outline=None) Parameters: stretch_wid – positive number stretch_len – positive number outline – positive number Return or set the pen’s attributes x/y-stretchfactors and/or outline. Set resizemode to “user”. If and only if resizemode is set to “user”, the turtle will be displayed stretched according to its stretchfactors: stretch_wid is stretchfactor perpendicular to

codecs.open(filename, mode='r', encoding=None, errors='strict', buffering=1) Open an encoded file using the given mode and return an instance of StreamReaderWriter, providing transparent encoding/decoding. The default file mode is 'r', meaning to open the file in read mode. Note Underlying encoded files are always opened in binary mode. No automatic conversion of '\n' is done on reading and writing. The mode argument may be any binary mode acceptable to the built-in open() function; the 'b'

codecs.iterdecode(iterator, encoding, errors='strict', **kwargs) Uses an incremental decoder to iteratively decode the input provided by iterator. This function is a generator. The errors argument (as well as any other keyword argument) is passed through to the incremental decoder.

class ctypes.Structure(*args, **kw) Abstract base class for structures in native byte order. Concrete structure and union types must be created by subclassing one of these types, and at least define a _fields_ class variable. ctypes will create descriptors which allow reading and writing the fields by direct attribute accesses. These are the _fields_ A sequence defining the structure fields. The items must be 2-tuples or 3-tuples. The first item is the name of the field, the second item s

@functools.total_ordering Given a class defining one or more rich comparison ordering methods, this class decorator supplies the rest. This simplifies the effort involved in specifying all of the possible rich comparison operations: The class must define one of __lt__(), __le__(), __gt__(), or __ge__(). In addition, the class should supply an __eq__() method. For example: @total_ordering class Student: def _is_valid_operand(self, other): return (hasattr(other, "lastname") and
