Slice Objects
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cvar:: PyTypeObject PySlice_Type
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: SliceType (in module types)
|
|
|
|
The type object for slice objects. This is the same as ``slice`` and
|
|
``types.SliceType``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: int PySlice_Check(PyObject *ob)
|
|
|
|
Return true if *ob* is a slice object; *ob* must not be *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PySlice_New(PyObject *start, PyObject *stop, PyObject *step)
|
|
|
|
Return a new slice object with the given values. The *start*, *stop*, and
|
|
*step* parameters are used as the values of the slice object attributes of the
|
|
same names. Any of the values may be *NULL*, in which case the ``None`` will be
|
|
used for the corresponding attribute. Return *NULL* if the new object could not
|
|
be allocated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: int PySlice_GetIndices(PySliceObject *slice, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t *start, Py_ssize_t *stop, Py_ssize_t *step)
|
|
|
|
Retrieve the start, stop and step indices from the slice object *slice*,
|
|
assuming a sequence of length *length*. Treats indices greater than *length* as
|
|
errors.
|
|
|
|
Returns 0 on success and -1 on error with no exception set (unless one of the
|
|
indices was not :const:`None` and failed to be converted to an integer, in which
|
|
case -1 is returned with an exception set).
|
|
|
|
You probably do not want to use this function. If you want to use slice objects
|
|
in versions of Python prior to 2.3, you would probably do well to incorporate
|
|
the source of :cfunc:`PySlice_GetIndicesEx`, suitably renamed, in the source of
|
|
your extension.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cfunction:: int PySlice_GetIndicesEx(PySliceObject *slice, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t *start, Py_ssize_t *stop, Py_ssize_t *step, Py_ssize_t *slicelength)
|
|
|
|
Usable replacement for :cfunc:`PySlice_GetIndices`. Retrieve the start, stop,
|
|
and step indices from the slice object *slice* assuming a sequence of length
|
|
*length*, and store the length of the slice in *slicelength*. Out of bounds
|
|
indices are clipped in a manner consistent with the handling of normal slices.
|
|
|
|
Returns 0 on success and -1 on error with exception set.
