6 Functions

IPython.utils.wildcard.create_typestr2type_dicts(dont_include_in_type2typestr=['lambda'])

Return dictionaries mapping lower case typename (e.g. ‘tuple’) to typeobjects from the types package, and vice versa.

IPython.utils.wildcard.is_type(obj,typestr_or_type)

is_type(obj, typestr_or_type) verifies if obj is of a certain type. Itcan take strings or actual python types for the second argument, i.e.‘tuple’<->TupleType. ‘all’ matches all types.

TODO: Should be extended for choosing more than one type.

IPython.utils.wildcard.show_hidden(str,show_all=False)

Return true for strings starting with single _ if show_all is true.

IPython.utils.wildcard.dict_dir(obj)

Produce a dictionary of an object’s attributes. Builds on dir2 bychecking that a getattr() call actually succeeds.

IPython.utils.wildcard.filter_ns(ns,name_pattern='*',type_pattern='all',ignore_case=True,show_all=True)

Filter a namespace dictionary by name pattern and item type.

IPython.utils.wildcard.list_namespace(namespace,type_pattern,filter,ignore_case=False,show_all=False)

Return dictionary of all objects in a namespace dictionary that matchtype_pattern and filter.
