def infer_bool(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand bool calls.

def infer_callable(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand callable calls

This follows Python's semantics, where an object is callable if it provides an attribute __call__, even though that attribute is something which can't be called.

def infer_dict(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Try to infer a dict call to a Dict node.

The function treats the following cases:

dict()

dict(mapping)

dict(iterable)

dict(iterable, **kwargs)

dict(mapping, **kwargs)

dict(**kwargs)

If a case can't be inferred, we'll fallback to default inference.

def infer_dict_fromkeys(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Infer dict.fromkeys

Parameters
node	Undocumented
context	Undocumented
nodes.Call node	dict.fromkeys() call to infer
context.InferenceContext context	node context
Returns
a Dictionary containing the values that astroid was able to infer. In case the inference failed for any reason, an empty dictionary will be inferred instead.	Undocumented

def infer_getattr(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand getattr calls

If one of the arguments is an Uninferable object, then the result will be an Uninferable object. Otherwise, the normal attribute lookup will be done.

def infer_hasattr(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand hasattr calls

This always guarantees three possible outcomes for calling hasattr: Const(False) when we are sure that the object doesn't have the intended attribute, Const(True) when we know that the object has the attribute and Uninferable when we are unsure of the outcome of the function call.

def infer_int(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Infer int() calls

Parameters
node	Undocumented
context	Undocumented
nodes.Call node	int() call to infer
context.InferenceContext	node context
Returns
a Const containing the integer value of the int() call	Undocumented

def infer_isinstance(callnode, context=None): (source) ¶

Infer isinstance calls

Parameters
callnode	Undocumented
context	Undocumented
nodes.Call callnode	an isinstance call
InferenceContext context	context for call (currently unused but is a common interface for inference)
Returns
Boolean Const value of isinstance call	Undocumented
Raises
`UseInferenceDefault`	If the node cannot be inferred

def infer_issubclass(callnode, context=None): (source) ¶

Infer issubclass() calls

Parameters
callnode	Undocumented
context	Undocumented
nodes.Call callnode	an `issubclass` call
InferenceContext context	the context for the inference
Returns
Boolean Const value of the `issubclass` call	Undocumented
Raises
`UseInferenceDefault`	If the node cannot be inferred

def infer_len(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Infer length calls

Parameters
node	Undocumented
context	Undocumented
nodes.Call node	len call to infer
context.InferenceContext	node context
Returns
a Const node with the inferred length, if possible	Undocumented

def infer_property(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand property class

This only infers the output of property call, not the arguments themselves.

def infer_slice(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand slice calls.

def infer_str(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Infer str() calls

Parameters
node	Undocumented
context	Undocumented
nodes.Call node	str() call to infer
context.InferenceContext	node context
Returns
a Const containing an empty string	Undocumented

def infer_super(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand super calls.

There are some restrictions for what can be understood:

unbounded super (one argument form) is not understood.

if the super call is not inside a function (classmethod or method), then the default inference will be used.

if the super arguments can't be inferred, the default inference will be used.

def infer_type(node, context=None): (source) ¶

Understand the one-argument form of type.

def register_builtin_transform(transform, builtin_name): (source) ¶

The transform function must accept two parameters, a node and an optional context.
