Summary#

Functions

`implicit_coerce_single`	Attempt to coerce the argument into the given type.
`implicit_coerce`	Use to decorate functions using the PEP 484 typing system to try and coerce any

Description#

Provides utilities for implicitly coercing arbitrary Python objects into the appropriate IVariableValue type.

Module detail#

implicit_coercion.implicit_coerce_single(arg: Any, arg_type: type) → Any#

Attempt to coerce the argument into the given type.

This function uses implicit semantics in that lossy conversions are not considered (such as int64->real64 because precision may be lost).

Parameters:

argAny: Object to attempt to convert.
arg_typetype: Type of object to convert to. The type must be IVariableValue or something derived from it.

Returns:

Any: Converted object

Raises:

TypeError: If the argument cannot be converted to the supplied type.

implicit_coercion.implicit_coerce(func: Any) → Any#

Use to decorate functions using the PEP 484 typing system to try and coerce any arguments that accept the IVariableValue type or any derived type into an acceptable value.
