Functions

abstractmethod(funcobj)

A decorator indicating abstract methods.

Requires that the metaclass is ABCMeta or derived from it. A class that has a metaclass derived from ABCMeta cannot be instantiated unless all of its abstract methods are overridden. The abstract methods can be called using any of the normal 'super' call mechanisms. abstractmethod() may be used to declare abstract methods for properties and descriptors.

Usage:

class C(metaclass=ABCMeta):
    @abstractmethod
    def my_abstract_method(self, arg1, arg2, argN):
        ...

depends(**dependencies)

is_track_armed(track)

is_track_recording(track)

liveobj_valid(obj)

playing_clip_slot(track)

prepare_new_clip_slot(track, stop=False)

selected_clip_slot(track)

class Quantization(enum)

int([x]) -> integer int(x, base=10) -> integer

Convert a number or string to an integer, or return 0 if no arguments are given. If x is a number, return x.int(). For floating point numbers, this truncates towards zero.

If x is not a number or if base is given, then x must be a string, bytes, or bytearray instance representing an integer literal in the given base. The literal can be preceded by '+' or '-' and be surrounded by whitespace. The base defaults to 10. Valid bases are 0 and 2-36. Base 0 means to interpret the base from the string as an integer literal.

int('0b100', base=0) 4

Methods

__init__(self, /, *args, **kwargs)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

as_integer_ratio(self, /)

Return integer ratio.

Return a pair of integers, whose ratio is exactly equal to the original int and with a positive denominator.

conjugate(...)

Returns self, the complex conjugate of any int.

from_bytes(bytes, byteorder='big', *, signed=False)

Return the integer represented by the given array of bytes.

bytes Holds the array of bytes to convert. The argument must either support the buffer protocol or be an iterable object producing bytes. Bytes and bytearray are examples of built-in objects that support the buffer protocol. byteorder The byte order used to represent the integer. If byteorder is 'big', the most significant byte is at the beginning of the byte array. If byteorder is 'little', the most significant byte is at the end of the byte array. To request the native byte order of the host system, use `sys.byteorder' as the byte order value. Default is to use 'big'. signed Indicates whether two's complement is used to represent the integer.

to_bytes(self, /, length=1, byteorder='big', *, signed=False)

Return an array of bytes representing an integer.

length Length of bytes object to use. An OverflowError is raised if the integer is not representable with the given number of bytes. Default is length 1. byteorder The byte order used to represent the integer. If byteorder is 'big', the most significant byte is at the beginning of the byte array. If byteorder is 'little', the most significant byte is at the end of the byte array. To request the native byte order of the host system, use `sys.byteorder' as the byte order value. Default is to use 'big'. signed Determines whether two's complement is used to represent the integer. If signed is False and a negative integer is given, an OverflowError is raised.
