Slice Objects
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PySlice_Type
|
||
|
||
The type object for slice objects. This is the same as :class:`slice` in the
|
||
Python layer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:function:: int PySlice_Check(PyObject *ob)
|
||
|
||
Return true if *ob* is a slice object; *ob* must not be ``NULL``. This
|
||
function always succeeds.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:function:: 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`` with an exception set if
|
||
the new object could not be allocated.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:function:: int PySlice_GetIndices(PyObject *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 ``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.
|
||
|
||
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
|
||
The parameter type for the *slice* parameter was ``PySliceObject*``
|
||
before.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:function:: int PySlice_GetIndicesEx(PyObject *slice, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t *start, Py_ssize_t *stop, Py_ssize_t *step, Py_ssize_t *slicelength)
|
||
|
||
Usable replacement for :c:func:`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.
|
||
|
||
Return ``0`` on success and ``-1`` on error with an exception set.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
This function is considered not safe for resizable sequences.
|
||
Its invocation should be replaced by a combination of
|
||
:c:func:`PySlice_Unpack` and :c:func:`PySlice_AdjustIndices` where ::
|
||
|
||
if (PySlice_GetIndicesEx(slice, length, &start, &stop, &step, &slicelength) < 0) {
|
||
// return error
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
is replaced by ::
|
||
|
||
if (PySlice_Unpack(slice, &start, &stop, &step) < 0) {
|
||
// return error
|
||
}
|
||
slicelength = PySlice_AdjustIndices(length, &start, &stop, step);
|
||
|
||
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
|
||
The parameter type for the *slice* parameter was ``PySliceObject*``
|
||
before.
|
||
|
||
.. versionchanged:: 3.6.1
|
||
If ``Py_LIMITED_API`` is not set or set to the value between ``0x03050400``
|
||
and ``0x03060000`` (not including) or ``0x03060100`` or higher
|
||
:c:func:`!PySlice_GetIndicesEx` is implemented as a macro using
|
||
:c:func:`!PySlice_Unpack` and :c:func:`!PySlice_AdjustIndices`.
|
||
Arguments *start*, *stop* and *step* are evaluated more than once.
|
||
|
||
.. deprecated:: 3.6.1
|
||
If ``Py_LIMITED_API`` is set to the value less than ``0x03050400`` or
|
||
between ``0x03060000`` and ``0x03060100`` (not including)
|
||
:c:func:`!PySlice_GetIndicesEx` is a deprecated function.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:function:: int PySlice_Unpack(PyObject *slice, Py_ssize_t *start, Py_ssize_t *stop, Py_ssize_t *step)
|
||
|
||
Extract the start, stop and step data members from a slice object as
|
||
C integers. Silently reduce values larger than ``PY_SSIZE_T_MAX`` to
|
||
``PY_SSIZE_T_MAX``, silently boost the start and stop values less than
|
||
``PY_SSIZE_T_MIN`` to ``PY_SSIZE_T_MIN``, and silently boost the step
|
||
values less than ``-PY_SSIZE_T_MAX`` to ``-PY_SSIZE_T_MAX``.
|
||
|
||
Return ``-1`` with an exception set on error, ``0`` on success.
|
||
|
||
.. versionadded:: 3.6.1
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PySlice_AdjustIndices(Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t *start, Py_ssize_t *stop, Py_ssize_t step)
|
||
|
||
Adjust start/end slice indices assuming a sequence of the specified length.
|
||
Out of bounds indices are clipped in a manner consistent with the handling
|
||
of normal slices.
|
||
|
||
Return the length of the slice. Always successful. Doesn't call Python
|
||
code.

Ellipsis Object
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyEllipsis_Type
|
||
|
||
The type of Python :const:`Ellipsis` object. Same as :class:`types.EllipsisType`
|
||
in the Python layer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. c:var:: PyObject *Py_Ellipsis
|
||
|
||
The Python ``Ellipsis`` object. This object has no methods. Like
|
||
:c:data:`Py_None`, it is an :term:`immortal` singleton object.
|
||
|
||
.. versionchanged:: 3.12
|
||
:c:data:`Py_Ellipsis` is immortal.
