iperflexer.unitconverter.BaseConverter

class iperflexer.unitconverter.BaseConverter(to_units, kilo_prefix)

A creator of unit-conversion dictionaries

base_converter constructor

Param:

• to_units: a list of the units to covert to (has to be half to-bits, half to-bytes)
• kilo_prefix: kilo multiplier matching type of units

__init__(to_units, kilo_prefix)

base_converter constructor

Param:

• to_units: a list of the units to covert to (has to be half to-bits, half to-bytes)
• kilo_prefix: kilo multiplier matching type of units

Methods

__init__(to_units, kilo_prefix)	base_converter constructor
build_conversions()	builds the dictionary
clear(() -> None.  Remove all items from D.)
conversions(conversion_factor[, start_list])	Creates the converter-lists
copy(() -> a shallow copy of D)
fromkeys(...)	v defaults to None.
get((k[,d]) -> D[k] if k in D, ...)
has_key((k) -> True if D has a key k, else False)
items(() -> list of D’s (key, value) pairs, ...)
iteritems(() -> an iterator over the (key, ...)
iterkeys(() -> an iterator over the keys of D)
itervalues(...)
keys(() -> list of D’s keys)
pop((k[,d]) -> v, ...)	If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised
popitem(() -> (k, v), ...)	2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.
setdefault((k[,d]) -> D.get(k,d), ...)
update(([E, ...)	If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k]
values(() -> list of D’s values)
viewitems(...)
viewkeys(...)
viewvalues(...)

Attributes

bits_to_bytes	List of conversions for bits to bytes
bytes_to_bits	list of conversions for bytes to bits
prefix_conversions	List of lists of prefix conversions

build_conversions()

builds the dictionary

clear() → None. Remove all items from D.

conversions(conversion_factor, start_list=None)

Creates the converter-lists

Param:

• conversion_factor: multiplier for values (8 or 1/8, or 1)
• start_list: if given, use to start the conversion-list

Returns:

list of conversion_lists

copy() → a shallow copy of D

static fromkeys(S[, v]) → New dict with keys from S and values equal to v.

v defaults to None.

get(k[, d]) → D[k] if k in D, else d. d defaults to None.

has_key(k) → True if D has a key k, else False

items() → list of D's (key, value) pairs, as 2-tuples

iteritems() → an iterator over the (key, value) items of D

iterkeys() → an iterator over the keys of D

itervalues() → an iterator over the values of D

keys() → list of D's keys

pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.

If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised

popitem() → (k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair as a

2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.

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

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

If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: 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 in F: D[k] = F[k]

values() → list of D's values

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

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

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

bits_to_bytes

List of conversions for bits to bytes

bytes_to_bits

prefix_conversions

List of lists of prefix conversions
