:mod:`future_builtins` --- Python 3 builtins
|
||
|
|
============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. module:: future_builtins
|
||
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Georg Brandl
|
||
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.6
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module provides functions that exist in 2.x, but have different behavior in
|
||
|
|
Python 3, so they cannot be put into the 2.x builtin namespace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead, if you want to write code compatible with Python 3 builtins, import
|
||
|
|
them from this module, like this::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from future_builtins import map, filter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
... code using Python 3-style map and filter ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The :program:`2to3` tool that ports Python 2 code to Python 3 will recognize
|
||
|
|
this usage and leave the new builtins alone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. note::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Python 3 :func:`print` function is already in the builtins, but cannot be
|
||
|
|
accessed from Python 2 code unless you use the appropriate future statement::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from __future__ import print_function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Available builtins are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. function:: filter(function, iterable)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works like :func:`itertools.ifilter`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. function:: hex(object)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works like the builtin :func:`hex`, but instead of :meth:`__hex__` it will
|
||
|
|
use the :meth:`__index__` method on its argument to get an integer that is
|
||
|
|
then converted to hexadecimal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. function:: map(function, iterable, ...)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works like :func:`itertools.imap`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. function:: oct(object)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works like the builtin :func:`oct`, but instead of :meth:`__oct__` it will
|
||
|
|
use the :meth:`__index__` method on its argument to get an integer that is
|
||
|
|
then converted to hexadecimal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. function:: zip(*iterables)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works like :func:`itertools.izip`.
