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

clear_all_file_breaks(filename) Delete all breakpoints in filename. If none were set, an error message is returned.

operator.__gt__(a, b) Perform “rich comparisons” between a and b. Specifically, lt(a, b) is equivalent to a < b, le(a, b) is equivalent to a <= b, eq(a, b) is equivalent to a == b, ne(a, b) is equivalent to a != b, gt(a, b) is equivalent to a > b and ge(a, b) is equivalent to a >= b. Note that these functions can return any value, which may or may not be interpretable as a Boolean value. See Comparisons for more information about rich comparisons.

sys.exec_prefix A string giving the site-specific directory prefix where the platform-dependent Python files are installed; by default, this is also '/usr/local'. This can be set at build time with the --exec-prefix argument to the configure script. Specifically, all configuration files (e.g. the pyconfig.h header file) are installed in the directory exec_prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/config, and shared library modules are installed in exec_prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/lib-dynload, where X.Y is the version n

email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime(date) The inverse of format_datetime(). Performs the same function as parsedate(), but on success returns a datetime. If the input date has a timezone of -0000, the datetime will be a naive datetime, and if the date is conforming to the RFCs it will represent a time in UTC but with no indication of the actual source timezone of the message the date comes from. If the input date has any other valid timezone offset, the datetime will be an aware datetime with

winreg.EnumKey(key, index) Enumerates subkeys of an open registry key, returning a string. key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants. index is an integer that identifies the index of the key to retrieve. The function retrieves the name of one subkey each time it is called. It is typically called repeatedly until an OSError exception is raised, indicating, no more values are available. Changed in version 3.3: See above.

reset_mock() The reset_mock method resets all the call attributes on a mock object: >>> mock = Mock(return_value=None) >>> mock('hello') >>> mock.called True >>> mock.reset_mock() >>> mock.called False This can be useful where you want to make a series of assertions that reuse the same object. Note that reset_mock() doesn’t clear the return value, side_effect or any child attributes you have set using normal assignment. Child mocks and the return

class typing.MutableMapping(Mapping[KT, VT]) A generic version of collections.abc.MutableMapping.

@contextlib.contextmanager This function is a decorator that can be used to define a factory function for with statement context managers, without needing to create a class or separate __enter__() and __exit__() methods. A simple example (this is not recommended as a real way of generating HTML!): from contextlib import contextmanager @contextmanager def tag(name): print("<%s>" % name) yield print("</%s>" % name) >>> with tag("h1"): ... print("foo") ...

Wave_write.close() Make sure nframes is correct, and close the file if it was opened by wave. This method is called upon object collection. It will raise an exception if the output stream is not seekable and nframes does not match the number of frames actually written.
