\section{Built-in Module \sectcode{operator}}	% If implemented in C
\bimodindex{spam}

The \code{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 x+y.  The
function names are those used for special class methods; variants without
leading and trailing '\_\_' are also provided for convenience.

The \code{operator} module defines the following functions:

\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module operator)}

\begin{funcdesc}{add}{a\, b}
Return a + b, for a and b numbers.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{\_\_add\_\_}{a\, b}
Return a + b, for a and b numbers.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{sub}{a\, b}
Return a - b.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{\_\_sub\_\_}{a\, b}
Return a - b.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{mul}{a\, b}
Return a * b, for a and b numbers.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{\_\_mul\_\_}{a\, b}
Return a * b, for a and b numbers.

Example: Build a dictionary that maps the ordinals from 0 to 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}
