Method Details

init(self)
(Constructor)

This is an abstract class.

Overrides:: __builtin__.object.__init__

and(self, other)
(And operator)

Return the intersection of two sets as a new set.

(I.e. all elements that are in both sets.)

contains(self, element)
(In operator)

Report whether an element is a member of a set.

(Called in response to the expression `element in self'.)

copy(self)

Return a shallow copy of a set.

deepcopy(self, memo)

Return a deep copy of a set; used by copy module.

ge(self, other)
(Greater-than-or-equals operator)

Report whether this set contains another set.

iter(self)

Return an iterator over the elements or a set.

This is the keys iterator for the underlying dict.

le(self, other)
(Less-than-or-equals operator)

Report whether another set contains this set.

len(self)
(Length operator)

Return the number of elements of a set.

or(self, other)
(Or operator)

Return the union of two sets as a new set.

(I.e. all elements that are in either set.)

repr(self)
(Representation operator)

Return string representation of a set.

This looks like 'Set([<list of elements>])'.

Overrides:: __builtin__.object.__repr__

str(self)
(Informal representation operator)

Return string representation of a set.

This looks like 'Set([<list of elements>])'.

Overrides:: __builtin__.object.__repr__

sub(self, other)
(Subtraction operator)

Return the difference of two sets as a new Set.

(I.e. all elements that are in this set and not in the other.)

xor(self, other)

Return the symmetric difference of two sets as a new set.

(I.e. all elements that are in exactly one of the sets.)

copy(self)

Return a shallow copy of a set.

difference(self, other)

Return the difference of two sets as a new Set.

(I.e. all elements that are in this set and not in the other.)

intersection(self, other)

Return the intersection of two sets as a new set.

(I.e. all elements that are in both sets.)

issubset(self, other)

Report whether another set contains this set.

issuperset(self, other)

Report whether this set contains another set.

symmetric_difference(self, other)

Return the symmetric difference of two sets as a new set.

(I.e. all elements that are in exactly one of the sets.)

union(self, other)

Return the union of two sets as a new set.

(I.e. all elements that are in either set.)
