ooxcb.types

ooxcb.types.build_list(conn, stream, list_, type)

writes a list_ of objects of the elementar data type type (where type is a struct-compatible type char) to stream.

For each item, this checks if the item is a ooxcb.protobj.Protobj. If it is, the object’s build method is called.

ooxcb.types.make_array(data, typecode)

return a packed representation of the data data.

Parameters:

data: list or str or unicode

should be a list of numeric values, each item suitable for the given typecode. If it’s a str or unicode instance, each char is converted to its ordinal value and then packed. Any element’s get_internal method will be called if present.

typecode: str

one of:

• ‘b’, 8 bit signed
• ‘B’, 8 bit unsigned
• ‘h’, 16 bit signed,
• ‘H’, 16 bit unsigned
• ‘i’, 32 bit signed
• ‘I’, 32 bit unsigned
• ‘f’, float
• ‘d’, double

Returns:

a string

ooxcb.types.make_void_array(data, format)

Return a packed representation of the data data. The only difference to make_array is that you pass the count of bytes per value to make_void_array, and all values are treated as unsigned.

Parameters:format – the count of bits to pack per value, one of 8, 16, 32.
