SimpleGenericMap

class lsst.afw.typehandling.SimpleGenericMap(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: MutableGenericMap

A dict-like MutableMapping for use when sharing a map between C++ and Python.

For compatibility with C++, SimpleGenericMap has the following restrictions:

• all keys must be of the same type

• values must be built-in types or subclasses of lsst.afw.typehandling.Storable. Almost any user-defined class in C++ or Python can have Storable as a mixin.

As a safety precaution, Storable objects that are added from C++ may be copied when you retrieve them from Python, making it impossible to modify them in-place. This issue does not affect objects that are added from Python, or objects that are always passed by shared_ptr in C++.

Parameters:

mappingcollections.abc.Mapping, optional

iterableiterable, optional

dtypetype, optional

The type of key the map accepts. Not required if mapping or iterable is provided.

**kwargs

Aside from the dtype keyword, a SimpleGenericMap takes the same input arguments as dict.

Methods Documentation

classmethod fromkeys(iterable, value=None)

items() → a set-like object providing a view on D's items

keys() → a set-like object providing a view on D's keys

pop(key, default=None)

setdefault(k[, d]) → D.get(k,d), also set D[k]=d if k not in D

update([E, ]**F) → None.  Update D from mapping/iterable E and F.

If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E.keys(): D[k] = E[k] If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v

values() → an object providing a view on D's values
