numerictypes: Define the numeric type objects

This module is designed so 'from numerictypes import *' is safe.
Exported symbols include:

  Dictionary with all registered number types (including aliases):
    typeDict

  Type objects (not all will be available, depends on platform):
      see variable sctypes for which ones you have

    Bit-width names

    int8 int16 int32 int64 int128
    uint8 uint16 uint32 uint64 uint128
    float16 float32 float64 float96 float128 float256
    complex32 complex64 complex128 complex192 complex256 complex512

    c-based names

    void, str_, unicode_

    byte, ubyte,

Variables

• ScalarType

  ScalarType = [ _types.IntType, _types.FloatType, _types.ComplexType, _types.LongType, _types.BooleanType, _types.StringType, _types.UnicodeType, _types.BufferType ]
  
  

• ScalarType

  ScalarType = tuple(ScalarType)
  
  

• allTypes

  allTypes = {  }
  
  

• cast

  cast = _typedict()
  
  

• generic

  generic = allTypes['generic']
  
  

• genericTypeRank

  genericTypeRank = [ 'bool', 'int8', 'uint8', 'int16', 'uint16', 'int32', 'uint32', 'int64', 'uint64', 'int128', 'uint128', 'float16', 'float32', 'float64', 'float80', 'float96', 'float128', 'float256', 'complex32', 'complex64', 'complex128', 'complex160', 'complex192', 'complex256', 'complex512', 'object' ]
  
  

• nbytes

  nbytes = _typedict()
  
  

• sctypes

  sctypes = { Const('int') : List(()), Const('uint') : List(()), Const('float') : List(()), Const('complex') : List(()), Const('others') : List([Name('bool'), Name('object'), Name('str'), Name('unicode'), Name('void')]) }
  
  

• typeDict

  typeDict = {  }
  
  

• typeNA

  typeNA = {  }
  
  

• void

  We use these later

  void = allTypes['void']
  
  

Function summary

• bitname(obj)
• issctype(rep)

Functions

• bitname(obj)

  Return a bit-width name for a given type object

• issctype(rep)

  Determines whether the given object represents a numeric array type.

• maximum_sctype(t)

  returns the sctype of highest precision of the same general kind as 't'
