public class PyByteArray extends BaseBytes implements BufferProtocol
Implementation of Python bytearray with a Java API that includes equivalents to most of the Python API. These Python equivalents accept a PyObject as argument, where you might have expected a byte[] or PyByteArray, in order to accommodate the full range of types accepted by the Python equivalent: usually, any PyObject that implements BufferProtocol, providing a one-dimensional array of bytes, is an acceptable argument. In the documentation, the reader will often see the terms "byte array" or "object viewable as bytes" instead of bytearray when this broader scope is intended. This may relate to parameters, or to the target object itself (in text that applies equally to base or sibling classes).

    • PyByteArray

      public PyByteArray(PyObject arg) throws PyException
      Constructs a new bytearray object from an arbitrary Python object according to the same rules as apply in Python to the bytearray() constructor:

      • bytearray(int) Construct a zero-initialized bytearray of the given length.
      • bytearray(iterable_of_ints) Construct from iterable yielding integers in [0..255]
      • bytearray(buffer) Construct by reading from any object implementing BufferProtocol, including str/bytes or another bytearray.
      When it is necessary to specify an encoding, as in the Python signature bytearray(string, encoding [, errors]), use the constructor PyByteArray(PyString, String, String). If the PyString is actually a PyUnicode, an encoding must be specified, and using this constructor will throw an exception about that.
      Parameters:
      arg - primary argument from which value is taken (may be null)
      Throws:
      PyException - TypeError for non-iterable,
      PyException - ValueError if iterables do not yield byte [0..255] values.

  • Method Details

    • getBuffer

      public PyBuffer getBuffer(int flags)
      Method by which the consumer requests the buffer from the exporter. The consumer provides information on its ability to understand buffer navigation. Each consumer requesting a buffer in this way, when it has finished using it, should make a corresponding call to PyBuffer.release() on the buffer it obtained, or PyBuffer.close() using try-with-resources, since some objects alter their behaviour while buffers are exported.

      The PyBuffer returned from this method is a one-dimensional array of single byte items that allows modification of the object state. The existence of this export prohibits resizing the byte array. This prohibition is not only on the consumer of the view but extends to any other operations, such as any kind or insertion or deletion.

      Specified by:
      getBuffer in interface BufferProtocol
      Parameters:
      flags - specifying features demanded and the navigational capabilities of the consumer
      Returns:
      exported buffer

This is an extension point called by PySequence in its implementation of PySequence.__setitem__(int, org.python.core.PyObject) It is guaranteed by PySequence that the index is within the bounds of the array. Any other clients calling pyset(int) must make the same guarantee.
      Parameters:
      index - index of the element to set.
      value - the value to set this element to.
      Throws:
      PyException - AttributeError if value cannot be converted to an integer
      PyException - ValueError if value<0 or value>255

    • pyinsert

      public void pyinsert(int index, PyObject element)
      Insert the element (interpreted as a Python byte value) at the given index. Python int, long and str types of length 1 are allowed.
      Overrides:
      pyinsert in class BaseBytes
      Parameters:
      index - to insert at
      element - to insert (by value)
      Throws:
      PyException - IndexError if the index is outside the array bounds
      PyException - ValueError if element<0 or element>255

      Returns:
      translated byte array

    • translate

      public PyByteArray translate(PyObject table, PyObject deletechars)

You can use the Python maketrans() helper function in the string module to create a translation table. For string objects, set the table argument to None for translations that only delete characters:
      Parameters:
      table - length 256 translation table (of a type that may be regarded as a byte array)

      Returns:
      left-filled byte array
