abstract base class
Abstract base classes complement :term:`duck-typing` by
providing a way to define interfaces when other techniques like
:func:`hasattr` would be clumsy or subtly wrong (for example with
:ref:`magic methods <special-lookup>`). ABCs introduce virtual
subclasses, which are classes that don't inherit from a class but are
still recognized by :func:`isinstance` and :func:`issubclass`; see the
:mod:`abc` module documentation. Python comes with many built-in ABCs for
data structures (in the :mod:`collections.abc` module), numbers (in the
:mod:`numbers` module), streams (in the :mod:`io` module), import finders

A value passed to a function or method, assigned to a named local
variable in the function body. A function or method may have both
positional arguments and keyword arguments in its definition.
Positional and keyword arguments may be variable-length: ``*`` accepts
or passes (if in the function definition or call) several positional
arguments in a list, while ``**`` does the same for keyword arguments
in a dictionary.

bytecode
Python source code is compiled into bytecode, the internal representation
of a Python program in the CPython interpreter. The bytecode is also
cached in ``.pyc`` and ``.pyo`` files so that executing the same file is
faster the second time (recompilation from source to bytecode can be
avoided). This "intermediate language" is said to run on a
:term:`virtual machine` that executes the machine code corresponding to
each bytecode. Do note that bytecodes are not expected to work between
different Python virtual machines, nor to be stable between Python
releases.

coercion
The implicit conversion of an instance of one type to another during an
operation which involves two arguments of the same type. For example,
``int(3.15)`` converts the floating point number to the integer ``3``, but
in ``3+4.5``, each argument is of a different type (one int, one float),
and both must be converted to the same type before they can be added or it
will raise a ``TypeError``. Without coercion, all arguments of even

complex number
An extension of the familiar real number system in which all numbers are
expressed as a sum of a real part and an imaginary part. Imaginary
numbers are real multiples of the imaginary unit (the square root of
``-1``), often written ``i`` in mathematics or ``j`` in
engineering. Python has built-in support for complex numbers, which are
written with this latter notation; the imaginary part is written with a
``j`` suffix, e.g., ``3+1j``. To get access to complex equivalents of the
:mod:`math` module, use :mod:`cmath`. Use of complex numbers is a fairly
advanced mathematical feature. If you're not aware of a need for them,
it's almost certain you can safely ignore them.

decorator
A function returning another function, usually applied as a function
transformation using the ``@wrapper`` syntax. Common examples for
decorators are :func:`classmethod` and :func:`staticmethod`.
The decorator syntax is merely syntactic sugar, the following two

def f(...):
...
f = staticmethod(f)
@staticmethod
def f(...):

binding behavior is triggered upon attribute lookup. Normally, using
*a.b* to get, set or delete an attribute looks up the object named *b* in
the class dictionary for *a*, but if *b* is a descriptor, the respective
descriptor method gets called. Understanding descriptors is a key to a
deep understanding of Python because they are the basis for many features
including functions, methods, properties, class methods, static methods,
and reference to super classes.
For more information about descriptors' methods, see :ref:`descriptors`.

dictionary
2012-03-12 14:05:34 -03:00
An associative array, where arbitrary keys are mapped to values. The
keys can be any object with :meth:`__hash__` and :meth:`__eq__` methods.
Called a hash in Perl.

duck-typing
A programming style which does not look at an object's type to determine
if it has the right interface; instead, the method or attribute is simply
called or used ("If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it
must be a duck.") By emphasizing interfaces rather than specific types,
well-designed code improves its flexibility by allowing polymorphic
substitution. Duck-typing avoids tests using :func:`type` or
2010-07-11 05:36:20 -03:00
:func:`isinstance`. (Note, however, that duck-typing can be complemented
with :term:`abstract base classes <abstract base class>`.) Instead, it
typically employs :func:`hasattr` tests or :term:`EAFP` programming.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
EAFP
Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. This common Python coding
style assumes the existence of valid keys or attributes and catches
exceptions if the assumption proves false. This clean and fast style is
characterized by the presence of many :keyword:`try` and :keyword:`except`
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
statements. The technique contrasts with the :term:`LBYL` style

an expression is an accumulation of expression elements like literals,
names, attribute access, operators or function calls which all return a
value. In contrast to many other languages, not all language constructs
are expressions. There are also :term:`statement`\s which cannot be used
as expressions, such as :keyword:`if`. Assignments are also statements,
not expressions.

file object
An object exposing a file-oriented API (with methods such as
2010-12-28 07:48:53 -04:00
:meth:`read()` or :meth:`write()`) to an underlying resource. Depending
on the way it was created, a file object can mediate access to a real
2012-03-30 05:02:05 -03:00
on-disk file or to another type of storage or communication device
2010-12-28 07:48:53 -04:00
(for example standard input/output, in-memory buffers, sockets, pipes,
etc.). File objects are also called :dfn:`file-like objects` or
:dfn:`streams`.
There are actually three categories of file objects: raw binary files,
buffered binary files and text files. Their interfaces are defined in the
:mod:`io` module. The canonical way to create a file object is by using
the :func:`open` function.
2010-09-15 06:58:26 -03:00
file-like object
A synonym for :term:`file object`.
finder
An object that tries to find the :term:`loader` for a module. It must
implement either a method named :meth:`find_loader` or a method named
:meth:`find_module`. See :pep:`302` and :pep:`420` for details and
:class:`importlib.abc.Finder` for an :term:`abstract base class`.
floor division
2010-09-01 19:11:53 -03:00
Mathematical division that rounds down to nearest integer. The floor
division operator is ``//``. For example, the expression ``11 // 4``
evaluates to ``2`` in contrast to the ``2.75`` returned by float true
division. Note that ``(-11) // 4`` is ``-3`` because that is ``-2.75``
rounded *downward*. See :pep:`238`.

function
A series of statements which returns some value to a caller. It can also
be passed zero or more arguments which may be used in the execution of
the body. See also :term:`argument` and :term:`method`.
__future__
2010-09-01 19:11:53 -03:00
A pseudo-module which programmers can use to enable new language features
which are not compatible with the current interpreter.
By importing the :mod:`__future__` module and evaluating its variables,
you can see when a new feature was first added to the language and when it
becomes the default::
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
>>> import __future__
>>> __future__.division
_Feature((2, 2, 0, 'alpha', 2), (3, 0, 0, 'alpha', 0), 8192)
garbage collection
The process of freeing memory when it is not used anymore. Python
performs garbage collection via reference counting and a cyclic garbage
collector that is able to detect and break reference cycles.

A function which returns an iterator. It looks like a normal function
2010-09-01 19:11:53 -03:00
except that it contains :keyword:`yield` statements for producing a series
a values usable in a for-loop or that can be retrieved one at a time with
the :func:`next` function. Each :keyword:`yield` temporarily suspends
processing, remembering the location execution state (including local
variables and pending try-statements). When the generator resumes, it
picks-up where it left-off (in contrast to functions which start fresh on

An expression that returns an iterator. It looks like a normal expression
followed by a :keyword:`for` expression defining a loop variable, range,
and an optional :keyword:`if` expression. The combined expression
generates values for an enclosing function::

>>> sum(i*i for i in range(10)) # sum of squares 0, 1, 4, ... 81

See :term:`global interpreter lock`.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
global interpreter lock
2011-01-06 12:31:28 -04:00
The mechanism used by the :term:`CPython` interpreter to assure that
only one thread executes Python :term:`bytecode` at a time.
This simplifies the CPython implementation by making the object model
(including critical built-in types such as :class:`dict`) implicitly
safe against concurrent access. Locking the entire interpreter
makes it easier for the interpreter to be multi-threaded, at the
expense of much of the parallelism afforded by multi-processor
machines.
However, some extension modules, either standard or third-party,
are designed so as to release the GIL when doing computationally-intensive
tasks such as compression or hashing. Also, the GIL is always released
when doing I/O.
Past efforts to create a "free-threaded" interpreter (one which locks
shared data at a much finer granularity) have not been successful
because performance suffered in the common single-processor case. It
is believed that overcoming this performance issue would make the
implementation much more complicated and therefore costlier to maintain.

An object with a fixed value. Immutable objects include numbers, strings and
tuples. Such an object cannot be altered. A new object has to
be created if a different value has to be stored. They play an important
role in places where a constant hash value is needed, for example as a key
in a dictionary.
import path
A list of locations (or :term:`path entries <path entry>`) that are
searched by the :term:`path based finder` for modules to import. During
import, this list of locations usually comes from :data:`sys.path`, but
for subpackages it may also come from the parent package's ``__path__``
attribute.
importing
The process by which Python code in one module is made available to
Python code in another module.
importer
An object that both finds and loads a module; both a
:term:`finder` and :term:`loader` object.

Python has an interactive interpreter which means you can enter
statements and expressions at the interpreter prompt, immediately
execute them and see their results. Just launch ``python`` with no
arguments (possibly by selecting it from your computer's main
menu). It is a very powerful way to test out new ideas or inspect
modules and packages (remember ``help(x)``).

Python is an interpreted language, as opposed to a compiled one,
though the distinction can be blurry because of the presence of the
bytecode compiler. This means that source files can be run directly
without explicitly creating an executable which is then run.
Interpreted languages typically have a shorter development/debug cycle
than compiled ones, though their programs generally also run more
slowly. See also :term:`interactive`.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
iterable
An object capable of returning its members one at a
time. Examples of iterables include all sequence types (such as
:class:`list`, :class:`str`, and :class:`tuple`) and some non-sequence
types like :class:`dict` and :class:`file` and objects of any classes you
define with an :meth:`__iter__` or :meth:`__getitem__` method. Iterables
can be used in a :keyword:`for` loop and in many other places where a
sequence is needed (:func:`zip`, :func:`map`, ...). When an iterable
object is passed as an argument to the built-in function :func:`iter`, it
returns an iterator for the object. This iterator is good for one pass
over the set of values. When using iterables, it is usually not necessary
to call :func:`iter` or deal with iterator objects yourself. The ``for``
statement does that automatically for you, creating a temporary unnamed
variable to hold the iterator for the duration of the loop. See also
:term:`iterator`, :term:`sequence`, and :term:`generator`.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
iterator
An object representing a stream of data. Repeated calls to the iterator's
2012-10-12 07:42:08 -03:00
:meth:`~iterator.__next__` method (or passing it to the built-in function
:func:`next`) return successive items in the stream. When no more data
are available a :exc:`StopIteration` exception is raised instead. At this
2008-07-03 17:28:26 -03:00
point, the iterator object is exhausted and any further calls to its
:meth:`__next__` method just raise :exc:`StopIteration` again. Iterators
are required to have an :meth:`__iter__` method that returns the iterator
object itself so every iterator is also iterable and may be used in most
places where other iterables are accepted. One notable exception is code

which attempts multiple iteration passes. A container object (such as a
:class:`list`) produces a fresh new iterator each time you pass it to the
:func:`iter` function or use it in a :keyword:`for` loop. Attempting this
with an iterator will just return the same exhausted iterator object used
in the previous iteration pass, making it appear like an empty container.

key function
A key function or collation function is a callable that returns a value
used for sorting or ordering. For example, :func:`locale.strxfrm` is
used to produce a sort key that is aware of locale specific sort
conventions.
A number of tools in Python accept key functions to control how elements
are ordered or grouped. They include :func:`min`, :func:`max`,
:func:`sorted`, :meth:`list.sort`, :func:`heapq.nsmallest`,
:func:`heapq.nlargest`, and :func:`itertools.groupby`.
There are several ways to create a key function. For example. the
:meth:`str.lower` method can serve as a key function for case insensitive
sorts. Alternatively, an ad-hoc key function can be built from a
:keyword:`lambda` expression such as ``lambda r: (r[0], r[2])``. Also,
the :mod:`operator` module provides three key function constructors:
:func:`~operator.attrgetter`, :func:`~operator.itemgetter`, and
:func:`~operator.methodcaller`. See the :ref:`Sorting HOW TO
<sortinghowto>` for examples of how to create and use key functions.

keyword argument
Arguments which are preceded with a ``variable_name=`` in the call.
The variable name designates the local name in the function to which the
value is assigned. ``**`` is used to accept or pass a dictionary of
keyword arguments. See :term:`argument`.
lambda
An anonymous inline function consisting of a single :term:`expression`
which is evaluated when the function is called. The syntax to create
a lambda function is ``lambda [arguments]: expression``
LBYL
Look before you leap. This coding style explicitly tests for
pre-conditions before making calls or lookups. This style contrasts with
the :term:`EAFP` approach and is characterized by the presence of many
:keyword:`if` statements.

In a multi-threaded environment, the LBYL approach can risk introducing a
race condition between "the looking" and "the leaping". For example, the
code, ``if key in mapping: return mapping[key]`` can fail if another
thread removes *key* from *mapping* after the test, but before the lookup.
This issue can be solved with locks or by using the EAFP approach.

A built-in Python :term:`sequence`. Despite its name it is more akin
to an array in other languages than to a linked list since access to
elements are O(1).

range(256) if x % 2 == 0]`` generates a list of strings containing
even hex numbers (0x..) in the range from 0 to 255. The :keyword:`if`
clause is optional. If omitted, all elements in ``range(256)`` are
processed.

loader
An object that loads a module. It must define a method named
:meth:`load_module`. A loader is typically returned by a
:term:`finder`. See :pep:`302` for details and
:class:`importlib.abc.Loader` for an :term:`abstract base class`.
mapping
A container object that supports arbitrary key lookups and implements the
methods specified in the :class:`~collections.abc.Mapping` or
:class:`~collections.abc.MutableMapping`
:ref:`abstract base classes <collections-abstract-base-classes>`. Examples
include :class:`dict`, :class:`collections.defaultdict`,
:class:`collections.OrderedDict` and :class:`collections.Counter`.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
meta path finder
A finder returned by a search of :data:`sys.meta_path`. Meta path
finders are related to, but different from :term:`path entry finders
<path entry finder>`.
metaclass
The class of a class. Class definitions create a class name, a class
dictionary, and a list of base classes. The metaclass is responsible for
taking those three arguments and creating the class. Most object oriented
programming languages provide a default implementation. What makes Python
special is that it is possible to create custom metaclasses. Most users
never need this tool, but when the need arises, metaclasses can provide
powerful, elegant solutions. They have been used for logging attribute
access, adding thread-safety, tracking object creation, implementing
singletons, and many other tasks.

named attributes (for example, :func:`time.localtime` returns a
tuple-like object where the *year* is accessible either with an
index such as ``t[0]`` or with a named attribute like ``t.tm_year``).
A named tuple can be a built-in type such as :class:`time.struct_time`,
or it can be created with a regular class definition. A full featured
named tuple can also be created with the factory function
:func:`collections.namedtuple`. The latter approach automatically
provides extra features such as a self-documenting representation like
``Employee(name='jones', title='programmer')``.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
namespace
The place where a variable is stored. Namespaces are implemented as
dictionaries. There are the local, global and built-in namespaces as well
as nested namespaces in objects (in methods). Namespaces support
modularity by preventing naming conflicts. For instance, the functions
:func:`builtins.open` and :func:`os.open` are distinguished by their
namespaces. Namespaces also aid readability and maintainability by making
it clear which module implements a function. For instance, writing
:func:`random.seed` or :func:`itertools.islice` makes it clear that those
functions are implemented by the :mod:`random` and :mod:`itertools`

modules, respectively.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
namespace package
A :pep:`420` :term:`package` which serves only as a container for
subpackages. Namespace packages may have no physical representation,
and specifically are not like a :term:`regular package` because they
have no ``__init__.py`` file.
nested scope
The ability to refer to a variable in an enclosing definition. For
instance, a function defined inside another function can refer to
2010-06-29 15:36:39 -03:00
variables in the outer function. Note that nested scopes by default work
only for reference and not for assignment. Local variables both read and
write in the innermost scope. Likewise, global variables read and write
to the global namespace. The :keyword:`nonlocal` allows writing to outer
scopes.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
new-style class
Old name for the flavor of classes now used for all class objects. In
earlier Python versions, only new-style classes could use Python's newer,
versatile features like :attr:`__slots__`, descriptors, properties,
:meth:`__getattribute__`, class methods, and static methods.

object
Any data with state (attributes or value) and defined behavior
(methods). Also the ultimate base class of any :term:`new-style
class`.
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
package
A Python module which can contain submodules or recursively,
subpackages. Technically, a package is a Python module with an
``__path__`` attribute.
path entry
A single location on the :term:`import path` which the :term:`path
based finder` consults to find modules for importing.
path entry finder
A :term:`finder` returned by a callable on :data:`sys.path_hooks`
(i.e. a :term:`path entry hook`) which knows how to locate modules given
a :term:`path entry`.
path entry hook
A callable on the :data:`sys.path_hook` list which returns a :term:`path
entry finder` if it knows how to find modules on a specific :term:`path
entry`.
path based finder
One of the default :term:`meta path finders <meta path finder>` which
searches an :term:`import path` for modules.
portion
A set of files in a single directory (possibly stored in a zip file)
that contribute to a namespace package, as defined in :pep:`420`.

positional argument
The arguments assigned to local names inside a function or method,
determined by the order in which they were given in the call. ``*`` is
used to either accept multiple positional arguments (when in the
definition), or pass several arguments as a list to a function. See
:term:`argument`.
provisional package
A provisional package is one which has been deliberately excluded from
the standard library's backwards compatibility guarantees. While major
changes to such packages are not expected, as long as they are marked
provisional, backwards incompatible changes (up to and including removal
of the package) may occur if deemed necessary by core developers. Such
changes will not be made gratuitously -- they will occur only if serious
flaws are uncovered that were missed prior to the inclusion of the
package.
This process allows the standard library to continue to evolve over
time, without locking in problematic design errors for extended periods
of time. See :pep:`411` for more details.
Python 3000
Nickname for the Python 3.x release line (coined long ago when the
release of version 3 was something in the distant future.) This is also
abbreviated "Py3k".

An idea or piece of code which closely follows the most common idioms
of the Python language, rather than implementing code using concepts
common to other languages. For example, a common idiom in Python is
to loop over all elements of an iterable using a :keyword:`for`
statement. Many other languages don't have this type of construct, so
people unfamiliar with Python sometimes use a numerical counter instead::

qualified name
A dotted name showing the "path" from a module's global scope to a
class, function or method defined in that module, as defined in
:pep:`3155`. For top-level functions and classes, the qualified name
is the same as the object's name::
>>> class C:
... class D:
... def meth(self):
... pass
...
>>> C.__qualname__
'C'
>>> C.D.__qualname__
'C.D'
>>> C.D.meth.__qualname__
'C.D.meth'
When used to refer to modules, the *fully qualified name* means the
entire dotted path to the module, including any parent packages,
e.g. ``email.mime.text``::
>>> import email.mime.text
>>> email.mime.text.__name__
'email.mime.text'

regular package
A traditional :term:`package`, such as a directory containing an
``__init__.py`` file.
__slots__
A declaration inside a class that saves memory by pre-declaring space for
instance attributes and eliminating instance dictionaries. Though
popular, the technique is somewhat tricky to get right and is best
reserved for rare cases where there are large numbers of instances in a
memory-critical application.

indices via the :meth:`__getitem__` special method and defines a

:meth:`__len__` method that returns the length of the sequence.
Some built-in sequence types are :class:`list`, :class:`str`,
:class:`tuple`, and :class:`bytes`. Note that :class:`dict` also
supports :meth:`__getitem__` and :meth:`__len__`, but is considered a
mapping rather than a sequence because the lookups use arbitrary
:term:`immutable` keys rather than integers.

struct sequence
2011-11-11 14:58:53 -04:00
A tuple with named elements. Struct sequences expose an interface similar
2011-04-20 20:27:32 -03:00
to :term:`named tuple` in that elements can either be accessed either by
index or as an attribute. However, they do not have any of the named tuple
methods like :meth:`~collections.somenamedtuple._make` or
:meth:`~collections.somenamedtuple._asdict`. Examples of struct sequences
include :data:`sys.float_info` and the return value of :func:`os.stat`.

triple-quoted string
A string which is bound by three instances of either a quotation mark
(") or an apostrophe ('). While they don't provide any functionality
not available with single-quoted strings, they are useful for a number
of reasons. They allow you to include unescaped single and double
quotes within a string and they can span multiple lines without the
use of the continuation character, making them especially useful when
writing docstrings.
type
The type of a Python object determines what kind of object it is; every
object has a type. An object's type is accessible as its
:attr:`__class__` attribute or can be retrieved with ``type(obj)``.

universal newlines
A manner of interpreting text streams in which all of the following are
recognized as ending a line: the Unix end-of-line convention ``'\n'``,
the Windows convention ``'\r\n'``, and the old Macintosh convention
``'\r'``. See :pep:`278` and :pep:`3116`, as well as
:func:`str.splitlines` for an additional use.

:meth:`dict.items` are called dictionary views. They are lazy sequences
that will see changes in the underlying dictionary. To force the
dictionary view to become a full list use ``list(dictview)``. See
