[clinic start generated code]*/ +One advantage of real converters is that they're more flexible than legacy +converters. For example, the ``unsigned_int`` converter (and all the +``unsigned_`` converters) can be specified without ``bitwise=True``. Their +default behavior performs range checking on the value, and they won't accept +negative numbers. You just can't do that with a legacy converter! + Argument Clinic will show you all the converters it has available. For each converter it'll show you all the parameters it accepts, along with the default value for each parameter. |
