Unpacker.unpack_fopaque(n) Unpacks and returns a fixed length opaque data stream, similarly to unpack_fstring().

curses.typeahead(fd) Specify that the file descriptor fd be used for typeahead checking. If fd is -1, then no typeahead checking is done. The curses library does “line-breakout optimization” by looking for typeahead periodically while updating the screen. If input is found, and it is coming from a tty, the current update is postponed until refresh or doupdate is called again, allowing faster response to commands typed in advance. This function allows specifying a different file descriptor fo

formatmonth(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0) Return a month’s calendar in a multi-line string. If w is provided, it specifies the width of the date columns, which are centered. If l is given, it specifies the number of lines that each week will use. Depends on the first weekday as specified in the constructor or set by the setfirstweekday() method.

os.getresuid() Return a tuple (ruid, euid, suid) denoting the current process’s real, effective, and saved user ids. Availability: Unix. New in version 3.2.

move(item, parent, index) Moves item to position index in parent‘s list of children. It is illegal to move an item under one of its descendants. If index is less than or equal to zero, item is moved to the beginning; if greater than or equal to the number of children, it is moved to the end. If item was detached it is reattached.

get_flags() Return a string specifying the flags that are currently set. If the message complies with the conventional format, the result is the concatenation in the following order of zero or one occurrence of each of 'R', 'O', 'D', 'F', and 'A'.

obj The underlying object of the memoryview: >>> b = bytearray(b'xyz') >>> m = memoryview(b) >>> m.obj is b True New in version 3.3.

oss_audio_device.close() Explicitly close the audio device. When you are done writing to or reading from an audio device, you should explicitly close it. A closed device cannot be used again.

class poplib.POP3(host, port=POP3_PORT[, timeout]) This class implements the actual POP3 protocol. The connection is created when the instance is initialized. If port is omitted, the standard POP3 port (110) is used. The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout setting will be used).

write(b) Write the bytes-like object, b, and return the number of bytes written. When in non-blocking mode, a BlockingIOError is raised if the buffer needs to be written out but the raw stream blocks.
