Compatibility module for Python 2.7 and >= 3.4¶
This module provides a set of utility types and functions for optimization and to aid in writing Python 2/3 compatibile code.
- kivy.compat.PY2 = False¶
False, because we don’t support Python 2 anymore.
- kivy.compat.clock() float¶
A clock with the highest available resolution on your current Operating System.
- kivy.compat.isclose(a, b, *, rel_tol=1e-09, abs_tol=0.0)¶
Determine whether two floating point numbers are close in value.
- rel_tol
maximum difference for being considered “close”, relative to the magnitude of the input values
- abs_tol
maximum difference for being considered “close”, regardless of the magnitude of the input values
Return True if a is close in value to b, and False otherwise.
For the values to be considered close, the difference between them must be smaller than at least one of the tolerances.
-inf, inf and NaN behave similarly to the IEEE 754 Standard. That is, NaN is not close to anything, even itself. inf and -inf are only close to themselves.
- kivy.compat.string_types¶
A utility type for detecting string in a Python 2/3 friendly way. For example:
if isinstance(s, string_types): print("It's a string or unicode type") else: print("It's something else.")
