Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self)
(Constructor)

source code 
Initialize the string.
Overrides: object.__init__

__str__(self)
(Informal representation operator)

source code 
String representation. This implementation is simply a wrapper around str on _value.
Returns: str
String representation.
Overrides: object.__str__
(inherited documentation)

set_value(self, value)

source code 
Set string to C{value}.
Parameters:
  • value (str (will be encoded as default) or C{bytes}) - The value to assign.
Overrides: simple_type.SimpleType.set_value

read(self, stream)

source code 
Read string from stream.
Parameters:
  • stream (file) - The stream to read from.
Overrides: any_type.AnyType.read

write(self, stream)

source code 
Write string to stream.
Parameters:
  • stream (file) - The stream to write to.
Overrides: any_type.AnyType.write

get_size(self)

source code 
Return number of bytes this type occupies in a file.
Returns:
Number of bytes.
Overrides: BinaryType.get_size

Property Details [hide private]

value

A property which wraps the actual data. This property always calls set_value to assign the value, and ensures that the value is valid (type, range, ...). Unless you know what you are doing, always use the value property to change the data.
Get Method:
unreachable.get_value(self) - Return the stored value.
Set Method:
unreachable.set_value(self, value) - Set string to C{value}.
