Python Nelson types


Managing Data between Python and Nelson.


Description


Managing data returned by Python functions:

Python return type, as shown in Python Corresponding Nelson type (scalar)
bool logical
complex double (complex)
float double

Convert Python types to Nelson type explicitly:

Python return types or protocols shown in Nelson Nelson conversion methods
py.str char, string
py.int double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64
py.long double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64
py.float double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64
py.bool double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, logical
py.bytes double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, logical
py.bytearray double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, logical
py.array.array double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64
py.memoryview double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64
py.numpy.ndarray double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64
py.list double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, logical, string, cell
py.tuple double, single, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, logical, string, cell
py.dict struct

Pass scalar Nelson type to Python:

Nelson scalar input argument type Python type
NaN float("nan")
Inf float("inf")
double (real) py.float
single (real) py.float
double (complex) py.complex
single (complex) py.complex
int8 py.int
uint8 py.int
int16 py.int
uint16 py.int
int32 py.int
uint32 py.int
int64 py.int
uint64 py.int
string scalar py.str
char vector py.str
logical py.bool
struct py.dict

Pass 1-by-N Vector Nelson type to Python:

Nelson 1-by-N Vector input argument type Python type
double (real) array.array('d')
single (real) array.array('f')
int8 array.array('b')
uint8 array.array('B')
int16 array.array('h')
uint16 array.array('H')
int32 array.array('i')
uint32 array.array('I')
int64 array.array('q')
uint64 array.array('Q')
double memoryview
single memoryview
logical memoryview
char vector str
string scalar str
cell vector tuple

Pass 2D Matrices and ND Arrays to Python:

The Python language offers a protocol for accessing memory buffers, akin to the data stored in Nelson arrays.

Nelson incorporates this Python buffer protocol for its arrays.

Example


R = pyrun('', "A", 'A', magic(3))
R.double()
