\section{\module{operator} ---
Standard operators as functions.}
\declaremodule{builtin}{operator}
\sectionauthor{Skip Montanaro}{skip@automatrix.com}
\modulesynopsis{All Python's standard operators as built-in functions.}
The \module{operator} module exports a set of functions implemented in C
corresponding to the intrinsic operators of Python. For example,
\code{operator.add(x, y)} is equivalent to the expression \code{x+y}. The
function names are those used for special class methods; variants without
leading and trailing \samp{__} are also provided for convenience.
The \module{operator} module defines the following functions:
\begin{funcdesc}{add}{a, b}
\funcline{__add__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} \code{+} \var{b}, for \var{a} and \var{b} numbers.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{sub}{a, b}
\funcline{__sub__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} \code{-} \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{mul}{a, b}
\funcline{__mul__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} \code{*} \var{b}, for \var{a} and \var{b} numbers.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{div}{a, b}
\funcline{__div__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} \code{/} \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{mod}{a, b}
\funcline{__mod__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} \code{\%} \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{neg}{o}
\funcline{__neg__}{o}
Return \var{o} negated.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{pos}{o}
\funcline{__pos__}{o}
Return \var{o} positive.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{abs}{o}
\funcline{__abs__}{o}
Return the absolute value of \var{o}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{inv}{o}
\funcline{invert}{o}
\funcline{__inv__}{o}
\funcline{__invert__}{o}
Return the inverse of \var{o}. The names \function{invert()} and
\function{__invert__()} were added in Python 2.0.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{lshift}{a, b}
\funcline{__lshift__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} shifted left by \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{rshift}{a, b}
\funcline{__rshift__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} shifted right by \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{and_}{a, b}
\funcline{__and__}{a, b}
Return the bitwise and of \var{a} and \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{or_}{a, b}
\funcline{__or__}{a, b}
Return the bitwise or of \var{a} and \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{xor}{a, b}
\funcline{__xor__}{a, b}
Return the bitwise exclusive or of \var{a} and \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{not_}{o}
\funcline{__not__}{o}
Return the outcome of \keyword{not} \var{o}. (Note that there is no
\method{__not__()} method for object instances; only the interpreter
core defines this operation.)
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{truth}{o}
Return \code{1} if \var{o} is true, and 0 otherwise.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{concat}{a, b}
\funcline{__concat__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} \code{+} \var{b} for \var{a} and \var{b} sequences.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{repeat}{a, b}
\funcline{__repeat__}{a, b}
Return \var{a} \code{*} \var{b} where \var{a} is a sequence and
\var{b} is an integer.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{contains}{a, b}
\funcline{__contains__}{a, b}
Return the outcome of the test \var{b} \code{in} \var{a}.
Note the reversed operands. The name \function{__contains__()} was
added in Python 2.0.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{sequenceIncludes}{\unspecified}
\deprecated{2.0}{Use \function{contains()} instead.}
Alias for \function{contains()}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{countOf}{a, b}
Return the number of occurrences of \var{b} in \var{a}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{indexOf}{a, b}
Return the index of the first of occurrence of \var{b} in \var{a}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{getitem}{a, b}
\funcline{__getitem__}{a, b}
Return the value of \var{a} at index \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{setitem}{a, b, c}
\funcline{__setitem__}{a, b, c}
Set the value of \var{a} at index \var{b} to \var{c}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{delitem}{a, b}
\funcline{__delitem__}{a, b}
Remove the value of \var{a} at index \var{b}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{getslice}{a, b, c}
\funcline{__getslice__}{a, b, c}
Return the slice of \var{a} from index \var{b} to index \var{c}\code{-1}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{setslice}{a, b, c, v}
\funcline{__setslice__}{a, b, c, v}
Set the slice of \var{a} from index \var{b} to index \var{c}\code{-1} to the
sequence \var{v}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{delslice}{a, b, c}
\funcline{__delslice__}{a, b, c}
Delete the slice of \var{a} from index \var{b} to index \var{c}\code{-1}.
\end{funcdesc}
The \module{operator} also defines a few predicates to test the type
of objects. \strong{Note:} Be careful not to misinterpret the
results of these functions; only \function{isCallable()} has any
measure of reliability with instance objects. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
>>> class C:
... pass
...
>>> import operator
>>> o = C()
>>> operator.isMappingType(o)
1
\end{verbatim}
\begin{funcdesc}{isCallable}{o}
\deprecated{2.0}{Use the \function{callable()} built-in function instead.}
Returns true if the object \var{o} can be called like a function,
otherwise it returns false. True is returned for functions, bound and
unbound methods, class objects, and instance objects which support the
\method{__call__()} method.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{isMappingType}{o}
Returns true if the object \var{o} supports the mapping interface.
This is true for dictionaries and all instance objects.
\strong{Warning:} There is no reliable way to test if an instance
supports the complete mapping protocol since the interface itself is
ill-defined. This makes this test less useful than it otherwise might
be.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{isNumberType}{o}
Returns true if the object \var{o} represents a number. This is true
for all numeric types implemented in C, and for all instance objects.
\strong{Warning:} There is no reliable way to test if an instance
supports the complete numeric interface since the interface itself is
ill-defined. This makes this test less useful than it otherwise might
be.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{isSequenceType}{o}
Returns true if the object \var{o} supports the sequence protocol.
This returns true for all objects which define sequence methods in C,
and for all instance objects. \strong{Warning:} There is no reliable
way to test if an instance supports the complete sequence interface
since the interface itself is ill-defined. This makes this test less
useful than it otherwise might be.
\end{funcdesc}
Example: Build a dictionary that maps the ordinals from \code{0} to
\code{256} to their character equivalents.
\begin{verbatim}
>>> import operator
>>> d = {}
>>> keys = range(256)
>>> vals = map(chr, keys)
>>> map(operator.setitem, [d]*len(keys), keys, vals)
\end{verbatim}
