It is intended to support codebases that work on both Python 2 and 3 +without modification. six consists of only one Python file, so it is painless +to copy into a project. + +Six can be downloaded on `PyPi <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/six/>`_. Its bug +tracker and code hosting is on `BitBucket <http://bitbucket.org/gutworth/six>`_. + +The name, "six", comes from the fact that 2*3 equals 6. Why not addition? +Multiplication is more powerful, and, anyway, "five" has already been snatched +away by the (admittedly now moribund) Zope Five project. + + +Indices and tables +------------------ + +* :ref:`genindex` +* :ref:`search` + + +Package contents +---------------- + +.. data:: PY2 + + A boolean indicating if the code is running on Python 2. + +.. data:: PY3 + + A boolean indicating if the code is running on Python 3. + + +Constants +>>>>>>>>> + +Six provides constants that may differ between Python versions. Ones ending +``_types`` are mostly useful as the second argument to ``isinstance`` or +``issubclass``. + + +.. data:: class_types + + Possible class types. In Python 2, this encompasses old-style and new-style + classes. In Python 3, this is just new-styles. + + +.. data:: integer_types + + Possible integer types. In Python 2, this is :func:`py2:long` and + :func:`py2:int`, and in Python 3, just :func:`py3:int`. + + +.. data:: string_types + + Possible types for text data. This is :func:`py2:basestring` in Python 2 and + :func:`py3:str` in Python 3. + + +.. data:: text_type + + Type for representing (Unicode) textual data. This is :func:`py2:unicode` in + Python 2 and :func:`py3:str` in Python 3. + + +.. data:: binary_type + + Type for representing binary data. This is :func:`py2:str` in Python 2 and + :func:`py3:bytes` in Python 3. + + +.. data:: MAXSIZE + + The maximum size of a container like :func:`py3:list` or :func:`py3:dict`. + This is equivalent to :data:`py3:sys.maxsize` in Python 2.6 and later + (including 3.x). Note, this is temptingly similar to, but not the same as + :data:`py2:sys.maxint` in Python 2. There is no direct equivalent to + :data:`py2:sys.maxint` in Python 3 because its integer type has no limits + aside from memory. + + +Here's example usage of the module:: + + import six + + def dispatch_types(value): + if isinstance(value, six.integer_types): + handle_integer(value) + elif isinstance(value, six.class_types): + handle_class(value) + elif isinstance(value, six.string_types): + handle_string(value) + + +Object model compatibility +>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> + +Python 3 renamed the attributes of several intepreter data structures. The +following accessors are available. Note that the recommended way to inspect +functions and methods is the stdlib :mod:`py3:inspect` module. + + +.. function:: get_unbound_function(meth) + + Get the function out of unbound method *meth*. In Python 3, unbound methods + don't exist, so this function just returns *meth* unchanged. Example + usage:: + + from six import get_unbound_function + + class X(object): + def method(self): + pass + method_function = get_unbound_function(X.method) + + +.. function:: get_method_function(meth) + + Get the function out of method object *meth*. + + +.. function:: get_method_self(meth) + + Get the ``self`` of bound method *meth*. + + +.. function:: get_function_closure(func) + + Get the closure (list of cells) associated with *func*. This is equivalent + to ``func.__closure__`` on Python 2.6+ and ``func.func_closure`` on Python + 2.5. + + +.. function:: get_function_code(func) + + Get the code object associated with *func*. This is equivalent to + ``func.__code__`` on Python 2.6+ and ``func.func_code`` on Python 2.5. + + +.. function:: get_function_defaults(func) + + Get the defaults tuple associated with *func*. This is equivalent to + ``func.__defaults__`` on Python 2.6+ and ``func.func_defaults`` on Python + 2.5. + + +.. function:: get_function_globals(func) + + Get the globals of *func*. This is equivalent to ``func.__globals__`` on + Python 2.6+ and ``func.func_globals`` on Python 2.5. + + +.. function:: next(it) + advance_iterator(it) + + Get the next item of iterator *it*. :exc:`py3:StopIteration` is raised if + the iterator is exhausted. This is a replacement for calling ``it.next()`` + in Python 2 and ``next(it)`` in Python 3. + + +.. function:: callable(obj) + + Check if *obj* can be called. Note ``callable`` has returned in Python 3.2, + so using six's version is only necessary when supporting Python 3.0 or 3.1. + + +.. function:: iterkeys(dictionary, **kwargs) + + Returns an iterator over *dictionary*\'s keys. This replaces + ``dictionary.iterkeys()`` on Python 2 and ``dictionary.keys()`` on + Python 3. *kwargs* are passed through to the underlying method. + + +.. function:: itervalues(dictionary, **kwargs) + + Returns an iterator over *dictionary*\'s values. This replaces + ``dictionary.itervalues()`` on Python 2 and ``dictionary.values()`` on + Python 3. *kwargs* are passed through to the underlying method. + + +.. function:: iteritems(dictionary, **kwargs) + + Returns an iterator over *dictionary*\'s items. This replaces + ``dictionary.iteritems()`` on Python 2 and ``dictionary.items()`` on + Python 3. *kwargs* are passed through to the underlying method. + + +.. function:: iterlists(dictionary, **kwargs) + + Calls ``dictionary.iterlists()`` on Python 2 and ``dictionary.lists()`` on + Python 3. No builtin Python mapping type has such a method; this method is + intended for use with multi-valued dictionaries like `Werkzeug's + <http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/datastructures/#werkzeug.datastructures.MultiDict>`_. + *kwargs* are passed through to the underlying method. + + +.. function:: viewkeys(dictionary) + + Return a view over *dictionary*\'s keys. This replaces + :meth:`py2:dict.viewkeys` on Python 2.7 and :meth:`py3:dict.keys` on + Python 3. + + +.. function:: viewvalues(dictionary) + + Return a view over *dictionary*\'s values. This replaces + :meth:`py2:dict.viewvalues` on Python 2.7 and :meth:`py3:dict.values` on + Python 3. + + +.. function:: viewitems(dictionary) + + Return a view over *dictionary*\'s items. This replaces + :meth:`py2:dict.viewitems` on Python 2.7 and :meth:`py3:dict.items` on + Python 3. + + +.. function:: create_bound_method(func, obj) + + Return a method object wrapping *func* and bound to *obj*. On both Python 2 + and 3, this will return a :func:`py3:types.MethodType` object. The reason + this wrapper exists is that on Python 2, the ``MethodType`` constructor + requires the *obj*'s class to be passed. + + +.. function:: create_unbound_method(func, cls) + + Return an unbound method object wrapping *func*. In Python 2, this will + return a :func:`py2:types.MethodType` object. In Python 3, unbound methods + do not exist and this wrapper will simply return *func*. + + +.. class:: Iterator + + A class for making portable iterators. The intention is that it be subclassed + and subclasses provide a ``__next__`` method. In Python 2, :class:`Iterator` + has one method: ``next``. It simply delegates to ``__next__``. An alternate + way to do this would be to simply alias ``next`` to ``__next__``. However, + this interacts badly with subclasses that override + ``__next__``. :class:`Iterator` is empty on Python 3. (In fact, it is just + aliased to :class:`py3:object`.) + + +.. decorator:: wraps(wrapped, assigned=functools.WRAPPER_ASSIGNMENTS, updated=functools.WRAPPER_UPDATES) + + This is exactly the :func:`py3:functools.wraps` decorator, but it sets the + ``__wrapped__`` attribute on what it decorates as :func:`py3:functools.wraps` + does on Python versions after 3.2. + + +Syntax compatibility +>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> + +These functions smooth over operations which have different syntaxes between +Python 2 and 3. + + +.. function:: exec_(code, globals=None, locals=None) + + Execute *code* in the scope of *globals* and *locals*. *code* can be a + string or a code object. If *globals* or *locals* are not given, they will + default to the scope of the caller. If just *globals* is given, it will also + be used as *locals*. + + .. note:: + + Python 3's :func:`py3:exec` doesn't take keyword arguments, so calling + :func:`exec` with them should be avoided. + + +.. function:: print_(*args, *, file=sys.stdout, end="\\n", sep=" ", flush=False) + + Print *args* into *file*. Each argument will be separated with *sep* and + *end* will be written to the file after the last argument is printed. If + *flush* is true, ``file.flush()`` will be called after all data is written. + + .. note:: + + In Python 2, this function imitates Python 3's :func:`py3:print` by not + having softspace support. If you don't know what that is, you're probably + ok. :) + + +.. function:: raise_from(exc_value, exc_value_from) + + Raise an exception from a context. On Python 3, this is equivalent to + ``raise exc_value from exc_value_from``. On Python 2, which does not support + exception chaining, it is equivalent to ``raise exc_value``. + + +.. function:: reraise(exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback=None) + + Reraise an exception, possibly with a different traceback. In the simple + case, ``reraise(*sys.exc_info())`` with an active exception (in an except + block) reraises the current exception with the last traceback. A different + traceback can be specified with the *exc_traceback* parameter. Note that + since the exception reraising is done within the :func:`reraise` function, + Python will attach the call frame of :func:`reraise` to whatever traceback is + raised. + + +.. function:: with_metaclass(metaclass, *bases) + + Create a new class with base classes *bases* and metaclass *metaclass*. This + is designed to be used in class declarations like this: :: + + from six import with_metaclass + + class Meta(type): + pass + + class Base(object): + pass + + class MyClass(with_metaclass(Meta, Base)): + pass + + Another way to set a metaclass on a class is with the :func:`add_metaclass` + decorator. + + +.. decorator:: add_metaclass(metaclass) + + Class decorator that replaces a normally-constructed class with a + metaclass-constructed one. Example usage: :: + + @add_metaclass(Meta) + class MyClass(object): + pass + + That code produces a class equivalent to :: + + class MyClass(object, metaclass=Meta): + pass + + on Python 3 or :: + + class MyClass(object): + __metaclass__ = MyMeta + + on Python 2. + + Note that class decorators require Python 2.6. However, the effect of the + decorator can be emulated on Python 2.5 like so:: + + class MyClass(object): + pass + MyClass = add_metaclass(Meta)(MyClass) + + +Binary and text data +>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> + +Python 3 enforces the distinction between byte strings and text strings far more +rigoriously than Python 2 does; binary data cannot be automatically coerced to +or from text data. six provides several functions to assist in classifying +string data in all Python versions. + + +.. function:: b(data) + + A "fake" bytes literal. *data* should always be a normal string literal. In + Python 2, :func:`b` returns a 8-bit string. In Python 3, *data* is encoded + with the latin-1 encoding to bytes. + + + .. note:: + + Since all Python versions 2.6 and after support the ``b`` prefix, + :func:`b`, code without 2.5 support doesn't need :func:`b`. + + +.. function:: u(text) + + A "fake" unicode literal. *text* should always be a normal string literal. + In Python 2, :func:`u` returns unicode, and in Python 3, a string. Also, in + Python 2, the string is decoded with the ``unicode-escape`` codec, which + allows unicode escapes to be used in it. + + + .. note:: + + In Python 3.3, the ``u`` prefix has been reintroduced. Code that only + supports Python 3 versions of 3.3 and higher thus does not need + :func:`u`. + + .. note:: + + On Python 2, :func:`u` doesn't know what the encoding of the literal + is. Each byte is converted directly to the unicode codepoint of the same + value. Because of this, it's only safe to use :func:`u` with strings of + ASCII data. + + +.. function:: unichr(c) + + Return the (Unicode) string representing the codepoint *c*. This is + equivalent to :func:`py2:unichr` on Python 2 and :func:`py3:chr` on Python 3. + + +.. function:: int2byte(i) + + Converts *i* to a byte. *i* must be in ``range(0, 256)``. This is + equivalent to :func:`py2:chr` in Python 2 and ``bytes((i,))`` in Python 3. + + +.. function:: byte2int(bs) + + Converts the first byte of *bs* to an integer. This is equivalent to + ``ord(bs[0])`` on Python 2 and ``bs[0]`` on Python 3. + + +.. function:: indexbytes(buf, i) + + Return the byte at index *i* of *buf* as an integer. This is equivalent to + indexing a bytes object in Python 3. + + +.. function:: iterbytes(buf) + + Return an iterator over bytes in *buf* as integers. This is equivalent to + a bytes object iterator in Python 3. + + +.. data:: StringIO + + This is an fake file object for textual data. It's an alias for + :class:`py2:StringIO.StringIO` in Python 2 and :class:`py3:io.StringIO` in + Python 3. + + +.. data:: BytesIO + + This is a fake file object for binary data. In Python 2, it's an alias for + :class:`py2:StringIO.StringIO`, but in Python 3, it's an alias for + :class:`py3:io.BytesIO`. + + +.. decorator:: python_2_unicode_compatible + + A class decorator that takes a class defining a ``__str__`` method. On + Python 3, the decorator does nothing. On Python 2, it aliases the + ``__str__`` method to ``__unicode__`` and creates a new ``__str__`` method + that returns the result of ``__unicode__()`` encoded with UTF-8. + + +unittest assertions +>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> + +Six contains compatibility shims for unittest assertions that have been renamed. +The parameters are the same as their aliases, but you must pass the test method +as the first argument. For example:: + + import six + import unittest + + class TestAssertCountEqual(unittest.TestCase): + def test(self): + six.assertCountEqual(self, (1, 2), [2, 1]) + +Note these functions are only available on Python 2.7 or later. + +.. function:: assertCountEqual() + + Alias for :meth:`~py3:unittest.TestCase.assertCountEqual` on Python 3 and + :meth:`~py2:unittest.TestCase.assertItemsEqual` on Python 2. + + +.. function:: assertRaisesRegex() + + Alias for :meth:`~py3:unittest.TestCase.assertRaisesRegex` on Python 3 and + :meth:`~py2:unittest.TestCase.assertRaisesRegexp` on Python 2. + + +.. function:: assertRegex() + + Alias for :meth:`~py3:unittest.TestCase.assertRegex` on Python 3 and + :meth:`~py2:unittest.TestCase.assertRegexpMatches` on Python 2. + + +Renamed modules and attributes compatibility +>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> + +.. module:: six.moves + :synopsis: Renamed modules and attributes compatibility + +Python 3 reorganized the standard library and moved several functions to +different modules. Six provides a consistent interface to them through the fake +:mod:`six.moves` module. For example, to load the module for parsing HTML on +Python 2 or 3, write:: + + from six.moves import html_parser + +Similarly, to get the function to reload modules, which was moved from the +builtin module to the ``imp`` module, use:: + + from six.moves import reload_module + +For the most part, :mod:`six.moves` aliases are the names of the modules in +Python 3. When the new Python 3 name is a package, the components of the name +are separated by underscores. For example, ``html.parser`` becomes +``html_parser``. In some cases where several modules have been combined, the +Python 2 name is retained. This is so the appropiate modules can be found when +running on Python 2. For example, ``BaseHTTPServer`` which is in +``http.server`` in Python 3 is aliased as ``BaseHTTPServer``. + +Some modules which had two implementations have been merged in Python 3. For +example, ``cPickle`` no longer exists in Python 3; it was merged with +``pickle``. In these cases, fetching the fast version will load the fast one on +Python 2 and the merged module in Python 3. + +The :mod:`py2:urllib`, :mod:`py2:urllib2`, and :mod:`py2:urlparse` modules have +been combined in the :mod:`py3:urllib` package in Python 3. The +:mod:`six.moves.urllib` package is a version-independent location for this +functionality; its structure mimics the structure of the Python 3 +:mod:`py3:urllib` package. + +.. note:: + + In order to make imports of the form:: + + from six.moves.cPickle import loads + + work, six places special proxy objects in in :data:`py3:sys.modules`. These + proxies lazily load the underlying module when an attribute is fetched. This + will fail if the underlying module is not available in the Python + interpreter. For example, ``sys.modules["six.moves.winreg"].LoadKey`` would + fail on any non-Windows platform. Unfortunately, some applications try to + load attributes on every module in :data:`py3:sys.modules`. six mitigates + this problem for some applications by pretending attributes on unimportable + modules don't exist. This hack doesn't work in every case, though. If you are + encountering problems with the lazy modules and don't use any from imports + directly from ``six.moves`` modules, you can workaround the issue by removing + the six proxy modules:: + + d = [name for name in sys.modules if name.startswith("six.moves.")] + for name in d: + del sys.modules[name] + +Supported renames: +
