.. module:: six :synopsis: Python 2 and 3 compatibility
.. moduleauthor:: Benjamin Peterson [email protected] .. sectionauthor:: Benjamin Peterson [email protected]
Six provides simple utilities for wrapping over differences between Python 2 and Python 3. 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 <https://pypi.org/project/six/>. Its bug
tracker and code hosting is on GitHub <https://github.com/benjaminp/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.
genindexsearch.. 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
:data:py2:types.ClassType and new-style type classes. In Python 3,
this is just type.
.. 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. Python 2.6 and 2.7 include bytes as a
builtin alias of str, so six’s version is only necessary for Python 2.5
compatibility.
.. 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 interpreter 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. Python 2.6 and above have a
builtin next function, so six's version is only necessary for Python 2.5
compatibility.
.. 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 Python 3.2's :func:py3:functools.wraps decorator. It sets the
__wrapped__ attribute on what it decorates. It doesn't raise an error if
any of the attributes mentioned in assigned and updated are missing
on wrapped object.
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__ = Meta
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 rigorously 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 an 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,
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.
.. function:: ensure_binary(s, encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
Coerce s to :data:binary_type. encoding, errors are the same as
:meth:py3:str.encode
.. function:: ensure_str(s, encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
Coerce s to str. encoding, errors are the same as
:meth:py3:str.encode
.. function:: ensure_text(s, encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
Coerce s to :data:text_type. encoding, errors are the same as
:meth:py3:str.encode
.. data:: StringIO
This is a 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.
.. function:: assertNotRegex()
Alias for :meth:~py3:unittest.TestCase.assertNotRegex on Python 3 and
:meth:~py2:unittest.TestCase.assertNotRegexpMatches 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 importlib 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 appropriate 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 :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 do not exist. This hack does not 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]

.. currentmodule:: six
It is possible to add additional names to the :mod:six.moves namespace.
.. function:: add_move(item)
Add item to the :mod:six.moves mapping. item should be a
:class:MovedAttribute or :class:MovedModule instance.
.. function:: remove_move(name)
Remove the :mod:six.moves mapping called name. name should be a
string.
Instances of the following classes can be passed to :func:add_move. Neither
have any public members.
.. class:: MovedModule(name, old_mod, new_mod)
Create a mapping for :mod:six.moves called name that references different
modules in Python 2 and 3. old_mod is the name of the Python 2 module.
new_mod is the name of the Python 3 module.
.. class:: MovedAttribute(name, old_mod, new_mod, old_attr=None, new_attr=None)
Create a mapping for :mod:six.moves called name that references different
attributes in Python 2 and 3. old_mod is the name of the Python 2 module.
new_mod is the name of the Python 3 module. If new_attr is not given, it
defaults to old_attr. If neither is given, they both default to name.
