array

This module defines an object type which can efficiently represent an array of basic values: characters, integers, floating point numbers. Arrays are sequence types and behave very much like lists, except that the type of objects stored in them is constrained. The type is specified at object creation time by using a type code, which is a single character. The following type codes are defined:

Type code C Type Minimum size in bytes ‘c’ character 1 ‘b’ signed integer 1 ‘B’ unsigned integer 1 ‘u’ Unicode character 2 ‘h’ signed integer 2 ‘H’ unsigned integer 2 ‘i’ signed integer 2 ‘I’ unsigned integer 2 ‘l’ signed integer 4 ‘L’ unsigned integer 4 ‘f’ floating point 4 ‘d’ floating point 8

The constructor is:

array(typecode [, initializer]) – create a new array

Classes

ArrayType	alias of array
array	Return a new array whose items are restricted by typecode, and initialized from the optional initializer value, which must be a list, string or iterable over elements of the appropriate type.
