def __getattr__(self, name): (source)

Undocumented

def __init__(self, value, lineno=None, col_offset=None, parent=None, kind=None, *, end_lineno=None, end_col_offset=None): (source)
Parameters
value:typing.AnyThe value that the constant represents.
lineno:Optional[int]The line that this node appears on in the source code.
col​_offset:Optional[int]The column that this node appears on in the source code.
parent:Optional[NodeNG]The parent node in the syntax tree.
kind:Optional[str]The string prefix. "u" for u-prefixed strings and None otherwise. Python 3.8+ only.
end​_lineno:Optional[int]The last line this node appears on in the source code.
end​_col​_offset:Optional[int]The end column this node appears on in the source code. Note: This is after the last symbol.
def bool_value(self, context=None): (source)
Determine the boolean value of this node.
Returns
boolThe boolean value of this node.
def getitem(self, index, context=None): (source)
Get an item from this node if subscriptable.
Parameters
index:Const or SliceThe node to use as a subscript index.
contextUndocumented
Raises
AstroidTypeErrorWhen the given index cannot be used as a subscript index, or if this node is not subscriptable.
def has_dynamic_getattr(self): (source)
Check if the node has a custom __getattr__ or __getattribute__.
Returns
boolTrue if the class has a custom __getattr__ or __getattribute__, False otherwise. For a Const this is always False.

iterable(Const)The contents of this node.
Raises
TypeErrorIf this node does not represent something that is iterable.
def pytype(self): (source)
Get the name of the type that this node represents.
Returns
strThe name of the type.
kind: Optional[str] = (source)
"The string prefix. "u" for u-prefixed strings and None otherwise. Python 3.8+ only.
value: typing.Any = (source)
The value that the constant represents.
_other_fields: tuple[str, ...] = (source)
Node attributes that do not contain child nodes.
