@ -758,6 +758,14 @@ All Argument Clinic converters accept the following arguments:
In addition, some converters accept additional arguments. Here is a list
of these arguments, along with their meanings:
``accept``
A set of Python types (and possibly pseudo-types);
this restricts the allowable Python argument to values of these types.
(This is not a general-purpose facility; as a rule it only supports
specific lists of types as shown in the legacy converter table.)
To accept ``None``, add ``NoneType`` to this set.
``bitwise``
Only supported for unsigned integers. The native integer value of this
Python argument will be written to the parameter without any range checking,
@ -772,39 +780,27 @@ of these arguments, along with their meanings:
Only supported for strings. Specifies the encoding to use when converting
this string from a Python str (Unicode) value into a C ``char *`` value.
``length``
Only supported for strings. If true, requests that the length of the
string be passed in to the impl function, just after the string parameter,
in a parameter named ``<parameter_name>_length``.
``nullable``
Only supported for strings. If true, this parameter may also be set to
``None``, in which case the C parameter will be set to ``NULL``.
``subclass_of``
Only supported for the ``object`` converter. Requires that the Python
value be a subclass of a Python type, as expressed in C.
``types``
Only supported for the ``object`` (and ``self``) converter. Specifies
``type``
Only supported for the ``object`` and ``self`` converters. Specifies
the C type that will be used to declare the variable. Default value is
``"PyObject *"``.
``types``
A string containing a list of Python types (and possibly pseudo-types);
this restricts the allowable Python argument to values of these types.
(This is not a general-purpose facility; as a rule it only supports
specific lists of types as shown in the legacy converter table.)
``zeroes``
Only supported for strings. If true, embedded NUL bytes (``'\\0'``) are
permitted inside the value.
permitted inside the value. The length of the string will be passed in
to the impl function, just after the string parameter, as a parameter named
``<parameter_name>_length``.
Please note, not every possible combination of arguments will work.
Often these arguments are implemented internally by specific ``PyArg_ParseTuple``
Usually these arguments are implemented by specific ``PyArg_ParseTuple``
*format units*, with specific behavior. For example, currently you cannot
call ``str`` and pass in ``zeroes=True`` without also specifying an ``encoding``;
although it's perfectly reasonable to think this would work, these semantics don't
call ``unsigned_short`` without also specifying ``bitwise=True``.
Although it's perfectly reasonable to think this would work, these semantics don't
map to any existing format unit. So Argument Clinic doesn't support it. (Or, at
least, not yet.)
