Method Details

cls(self)

Returns:: The UID of the class that contains the object identified by this UID; or None if the object identified by this UID is not part of a class.
(type=UID or None)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.cls (inherited documentation)

descendant_of(self, ancestor)

Parameters:: ancestor - The UID of the potential ancestor.
(type=UID)

Returns:: True if the object identified by this UID is a descendant of ancestor. d is a descendant of a if d=a; or if d is a descendent of an object contained by a.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.descendant_of (inherited documentation)

id(self)

Returns:: the Python internal identifier for this UID's object.
(type=int)

is_builtin_function(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a builtin function.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_builtin_function (inherited documentation)

is_builtin_method(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a builtin method.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_builtin_method (inherited documentation)

is_class(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a class or a type.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_class (inherited documentation)

is_function(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a function.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_function (inherited documentation)

is_method(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a method.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_method (inherited documentation)

is_module(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a module or a package.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_module (inherited documentation)

is_package(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a package.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_package (inherited documentation)

is_property(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a property.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_property (inherited documentation)

is_routine(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a function, a method, a builtin function, or a builtin method.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_routine (inherited documentation)

is_variable(self)

Returns:: True if this is the UID for a variable.
(type=boolean)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.is_variable (inherited documentation)

module(self)

Returns:: The UID of the module that contains the object identified by this UID; or None if the object identified by this UID is a module or a package.
(type=UID)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.module (inherited documentation)

name(self)

Returns:: The globally unique name for this identifier. This name consists of several pieces, joined by periods, which indicate where the object is defined. For example, the UID for this class has the name 'epydoc.uid.UID', since it is named UID, and defined in the uid module of the epydoc package.
(type=string)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.name (inherited documentation)

package(self)

Returns:: The UID of the package that contains the object identified by this UID; or None if the object identified by this UID is not part of a package.
(type=UID)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.package (inherited documentation)

parent(self)

Returns:: The UID of the object that contains the object identified by this UID; or None if the object identified by this UID is not contained by any other object. For methods, class variables, and instance variables, the parent is the containing class; for functions and classes, it is the containing module; and for modules, it is the containing package.

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.parent (inherited documentation)

shortname(self)

Returns:: The short name for this UID. A UID's short name is the last piece of its globally unique name, as returned by name. This is typically the name that was used when definining the object. For example, the UID for this class has the name 'UID'.
(type=string)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.shortname (inherited documentation)

value(self)

Returns:: The value of the object or variable specified by this UID.
(type=any)

Overrides:: lemon.external.epydoc.uid.UID.value (inherited documentation)

Instance Variable Details

_id

The python identifier of the object (or of its underlying function for methods). This is used for hashing.
