Classes

• Stream()

  Zero-copy non-blocking pipe-like

  Interface mimics a non-blocking BufferedIOBase, but operations return memoryviews instead of bytes.

  Operations are not thread-safe. Reader is responsible of releasing chunks. Writer hands off responsibility over chunks.

  Stream has with, bytes, bool, copy and deepcopy support.

  Extends: BufferedIOBase

  • nbytes -> int

    Number of bytes held in stream

  • nchunks -> int

    Number of chunks held in stream

  • readchunk() -> memoryview

    Read a chunk from stream

  • unreadchunk(chunk: memoryview) -> int

    Unread a chunk into the stream

  • readchunk() -> memoryview

    Read a chunk from stream

  • unwritechunk() -> memoryview

    Unwrite a chunk from the stream

  • writechunk(chunk: memoryview) -> int

    Write a chunk into the stream

  • peekchunk() -> memoryview

    Peek a chunk from stream

  • readchunks() -> Iterable[memoryview]

    Read all chunks from stream

  • writechunks(chunks: Iterable[memoryview]) -> int

    Write many chunks into the stream

  • update(bs: Iterable[Buffer]) -> int

    Write many buffers into the stream

  • clear() -> None

    Release all chunks

  • copy() -> Stream

    Shallow copy of stream

  • tobytes() -> bytes

    Transform stream to bytes (will copy)

  • frombytes(b: Buffer) -> Stream

    Construct a stream from bytes

Functions

• byteview(b: Buffer) -> memoryview

  Return a byte view of a buffer
