5. Tipe Bawaan
**************

Bagian berikut menjelaskan tipe standar yang dibangun ke dalam
*interpreter*.

Catatan: Historically (until release 2.2), Python's built-in types
  have differed from user-defined types because it was not possible to
  use the built-in types as the basis for object-oriented inheritance.
  This limitation no longer exists.

The principal built-in types are numerics, sequences, mappings, files,
classes, instances and exceptions.

Some operations are supported by several object types; in particular,
practically all objects can be compared, tested for truth value, and
converted to a string (with the repr() function or the slightly
different "str()" function).  The latter function is implicitly used
when an object is written by the "print()" function.


5.1. Pengujian Kebenaran Nilai
==============================

Any object can be tested for truth value, for use in an "if" or
"while" condition or as operand of the Boolean operations below. The
following values are considered false:

* "None"

* "False"

* zero of any numeric type, for example, "0", "0L", "0.0", "0j".

* any empty sequence, for example, "''", "()", "[]".

* any empty mapping, for example, "{}".

* instances of user-defined classes, if the class defines a
  "__nonzero__()" or "__len__()" method, when that method returns the
  integer zero or "bool" value "False". [1]

All other values are considered true --- so objects of many types are
always true.

Operasi dan fungsi bawaan yang memiliki hasil *Boolean* selalu
mengembalikan "0" atau "False" untuk yang bernilai salah dan "1" atau
"True" untuk yang bernilai benar, kecuali dinyatakan lain.
(Pengecualian penting: operasi *Boolean* "or" dan "and" selalu
mengembalikan salah satu operan mereka.)


5.2. Boolean Operations --- "and", "or", "not"
==============================================

Berikut adalah operasi *Boolean*, diurutkan berdasarkan prioritas
menaik:

+---------------+-----------------------------------+---------+
| Operasi       | Hasil                             | Catatan |
|===============|===================================|=========|
| "x or y"      | jika *x* bernilai salah, maka     | (1)     |
|               | *y*, lainnya *x*                  |         |
+---------------+-----------------------------------+---------+
| "x and y"     | jika *x* bernilai salah, maka     | (2)     |
|               | *x*, lainnya *y*                  |         |
+---------------+-----------------------------------+---------+
| "not x"       | jika *x* bernilai salah, maka     | (3)     |
|               | "True", lainnya "False"           |         |
+---------------+-----------------------------------+---------+

Catatan:

1. Ini adalah operator hubungan singkat, sehingga hanya
   mengevaluasi argumen kedua jika yang pertama salah.

2. Ini adalah operator hubungan singkat, sehingga hanya
   mengevaluasi argumen kedua jika yang pertama benar.

3. "not" memiliki prioritas lebih rendah daripada operator non-
   Boolean, jadi "not a == b" diartikan sebagai "not (a == b)", dan "a
   == not b" adalah kesalahan sintaksis.


5.3. Perbandingan
=================

Comparison operations are supported by all objects.  They all have the
same priority (which is higher than that of the Boolean operations).
Comparisons can be chained arbitrarily; for example, "x < y <= z" is
equivalent to "x < y and y <= z", except that *y* is evaluated only
once (but in both cases *z* is not evaluated at all when "x < y" is
found to be false).

Tabel ini merangkum operasi perbandingan:

+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| Operasi      | Artinya                   | Catatan |
|==============|===========================|=========|
| "<"          | lebih kecil dari          |         |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| "<="         | lebih kecil atau sama     |         |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| ">"          | lebih besar dari          |         |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| ">="         | lebih besar atau sama     |         |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| "=="         | sama                      |         |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| "!="         | tidak sama                | (1)     |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| "is"         | identitas objek           |         |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+
| "is not"     | identitas objek           |         |
|              | dinegasikan               |         |
+--------------+---------------------------+---------+

Catatan:

1. "!=" can also be written "<>", but this is an obsolete usage
   kept for backwards compatibility only. New code should always use
   "!=".

Objects of different types, except different numeric types and
different string types, never compare equal; such objects are ordered
consistently but arbitrarily (so that sorting a heterogeneous array
yields a consistent result). Furthermore, some types (for example,
file objects) support only a degenerate notion of comparison where any
two objects of that type are unequal.  Again, such objects are ordered
arbitrarily but consistently. The "<", "<=", ">" and ">=" operators
will raise a "TypeError" exception when any operand is a complex
number.

Non-identical instances of a class normally compare as non-equal
unless the class defines the "__eq__()" method or the "__cmp__()"
method.

Instances of a class cannot be ordered with respect to other instances
of the same class, or other types of object, unless the class defines
either enough of the rich comparison methods ("__lt__()", "__le__()",
"__gt__()", and "__ge__()") or the "__cmp__()" method.

**CPython implementation detail:** Objects of different types except
numbers are ordered by their type names; objects of the same types
that don't support proper comparison are ordered by their address.

Two more operations with the same syntactic priority, "in" and "not
in", are supported only by sequence types (below).


5.4. Numeric Types --- "int", "float", "long", "complex"
========================================================

There are four distinct numeric types: *plain integers*, *long
integers*, *floating point numbers*, and *complex numbers*. In
addition, Booleans are a subtype of plain integers. Plain integers
(also just called *integers*) are implemented using "long" in C, which
gives them at least 32 bits of precision ("sys.maxint" is always set
to the maximum plain integer value for the current platform, the
minimum value is "-sys.maxint - 1").  Long integers have unlimited
precision.  Floating point numbers are usually implemented using
"double" in C; information about the precision and internal
representation of floating point numbers for the machine on which your
program is running is available in "sys.float_info".  Complex numbers
have a real and imaginary part, which are each a floating point
number.  To extract these parts from a complex number *z*, use
"z.real" and "z.imag". (The standard library includes additional
numeric types, "fractions" that hold rationals, and "decimal" that
hold floating-point numbers with user-definable precision.)

Numbers are created by numeric literals or as the result of built-in
functions and operators.  Unadorned integer literals (including
binary, hex, and octal numbers) yield plain integers unless the value
they denote is too large to be represented as a plain integer, in
which case they yield a long integer. Integer literals with an "'L'"
or "'l'" suffix yield long integers ("'L'" is preferred because "1l"
looks too much like eleven!).  Numeric literals containing a decimal
point or an exponent sign yield floating point numbers. Appending
"'j'" or "'J'" to a numeric literal yields an imaginary number (a
complex number with a zero real part) which you can add to an integer
or float to get a complex number with real and imaginary parts.

Python fully supports mixed arithmetic: when a binary arithmetic
operator has operands of different numeric types, the operand with the
"narrower" type is widened to that of the other, where plain integer
is narrower than long integer is narrower than floating point is
narrower than complex. Comparisons between numbers of mixed type use
the same rule. [2] The constructors "int()", "long()", "float()", and
"complex()" can be used to produce numbers of a specific type.

All built-in numeric types support the following operations. See The
power operator and later sections for the operators' priorities.

Catatan:

1. For (plain or long) integer division, the result is an integer.
   The result is always rounded towards minus infinity: 1/2 is 0,
   (-1)/2 is -1, 1/(-2) is -1, and (-1)/(-2) is 0.  Note that the
   result is a long integer if either operand is a long integer,
   regardless of the numeric value.

2. Conversion from floats using "int()" or "long()" truncates
   toward zero like the related function, "math.trunc()".  Use the
   function "math.floor()" to round downward and "math.ceil()" to
   round upward.

3. See Fungsi Bawaan for a full description.

4. Ditinggalkan sejak versi 2.3: The floor division operator, the
   modulo operator, and the "divmod()" function are no longer defined
   for complex numbers.  Instead, convert to a floating point number
   using the "abs()" function if appropriate.

5. Also referred to as integer division.  The resultant value is a
   whole integer, though the result's type is not necessarily int.

6. float also accepts the strings "nan" and "inf" with an optional
   prefix "+" or "-" for Not a Number (NaN) and positive or negative
   infinity.

   Baru pada versi 2.6.

7. Python defines "pow(0, 0)" and "0 ** 0" to be "1", as is common
   for programming languages.

All "numbers.Real" types ("int", "long", and "float") also include the
following operations:

+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Operasi              | Hasil                                         |
|======================|===============================================|
| "math.trunc(x)"      | *x* truncated to "Integral"                   |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "round(x[, n])"      | *x* rounded to *n* digits, rounding ties away |
|                      | from zero. If *n* is omitted, it defaults to  |
|                      | 0.                                            |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "math.floor(x)"      | the greatest integer as a float <= *x*        |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "math.ceil(x)"       | the least integer as a float >= *x*           |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+


5.4.1. Bitwise Operations on Integer Types
------------------------------------------

Bitwise operations only make sense for integers.  Negative numbers are
treated as their 2's complement value (this assumes a sufficiently
large number of bits that no overflow occurs during the operation).

The priorities of the binary bitwise operations are all lower than the
numeric operations and higher than the comparisons; the unary
operation "~" has the same priority as the other unary numeric
operations ("+" and "-").

This table lists the bitwise operations sorted in ascending priority:

+--------------+----------------------------------+------------+
| Operasi      | Hasil                            | Catatan    |
|==============|==================================|============|
| "x | y"      | bitwise *or* of *x* and *y*      |            |
+--------------+----------------------------------+------------+
| "x ^ y"      | bitwise *exclusive or* of *x*    |            |
|              | and *y*                          |            |
+--------------+----------------------------------+------------+
| "x & y"      | bitwise *and* of *x* and *y*     |            |
+--------------+----------------------------------+------------+
| "x << n"     | *x* shifted left by *n* bits     | (1)(2)     |
+--------------+----------------------------------+------------+
| "x >> n"     | *x* shifted right by *n* bits    | (1)(3)     |
+--------------+----------------------------------+------------+
| "~x"         | the bits of *x* inverted         |            |
+--------------+----------------------------------+------------+

Catatan:

1. Negative shift counts are illegal and cause a "ValueError" to be
   raised.

2. A left shift by *n* bits is equivalent to multiplication by
   "pow(2, n)".  A long integer is returned if the result exceeds the
   range of plain integers.

3. A right shift by *n* bits is equivalent to division by "pow(2,
   n)".


5.4.2. Additional Methods on Integer Types
------------------------------------------

The integer types implement the "numbers.Integral" *abstract base
class*. In addition, they provide one more method:

int.bit_length()

long.bit_length()

   Return the number of bits necessary to represent an integer in
   binary, excluding the sign and leading zeros:

      >>> n = -37
      >>> bin(n)
      '-0b100101'
      >>> n.bit_length()
      6

   More precisely, if "x" is nonzero, then "x.bit_length()" is the
   unique positive integer "k" such that "2**(k-1) <= abs(x) < 2**k".
   Equivalently, when "abs(x)" is small enough to have a correctly
   rounded logarithm, then "k = 1 + int(log(abs(x), 2))". If "x" is
   zero, then "x.bit_length()" returns "0".

   Setara dengan:

      def bit_length(self):
          s = bin(self)       # binary representation:  bin(-37) --> '-0b100101'
          s = s.lstrip('-0b') # remove leading zeros and minus sign
          return len(s)       # len('100101') --> 6

   Baru pada versi 2.7.


5.4.3. Additional Methods on Float
----------------------------------

The float type implements the "numbers.Real" *abstract base class*.
float also has the following additional methods.

float.as_integer_ratio()

   Return a pair of integers whose ratio is exactly equal to the
   original float and with a positive denominator.  Raises
   "OverflowError" on infinities and a "ValueError" on NaNs.

   Baru pada versi 2.6.

float.is_integer()

   Return "True" if the float instance is finite with integral value,
   and "False" otherwise:

      >>> (-2.0).is_integer()
      True
      >>> (3.2).is_integer()
      False

   Baru pada versi 2.6.

Two methods support conversion to and from hexadecimal strings.  Since
Python's floats are stored internally as binary numbers, converting a
float to or from a *decimal* string usually involves a small rounding
error.  In contrast, hexadecimal strings allow exact representation
and specification of floating-point numbers.  This can be useful when
debugging, and in numerical work.

float.hex()

   Return a representation of a floating-point number as a hexadecimal
   string.  For finite floating-point numbers, this representation
   will always include a leading "0x" and a trailing "p" and exponent.

   Baru pada versi 2.6.

float.fromhex(s)

   Class method to return the float represented by a hexadecimal
   string *s*.  The string *s* may have leading and trailing
   whitespace.

   Baru pada versi 2.6.

Note that "float.hex()" is an instance method, while "float.fromhex()"
is a class method.

A hexadecimal string takes the form:

   [sign] ['0x'] integer ['.' fraction] ['p' exponent]

where the optional "sign" may by either "+" or "-", "integer" and
"fraction" are strings of hexadecimal digits, and "exponent" is a
decimal integer with an optional leading sign.  Case is not
significant, and there must be at least one hexadecimal digit in
either the integer or the fraction.  This syntax is similar to the
syntax specified in section 6.4.4.2 of the C99 standard, and also to
the syntax used in Java 1.5 onwards.  In particular, the output of
"float.hex()" is usable as a hexadecimal floating-point literal in C
or Java code, and hexadecimal strings produced by C's "%a" format
character or Java's "Double.toHexString" are accepted by
"float.fromhex()".

Note that the exponent is written in decimal rather than hexadecimal,
and that it gives the power of 2 by which to multiply the coefficient.
For example, the hexadecimal string "0x3.a7p10" represents the
floating-point number "(3 + 10./16 + 7./16**2) * 2.0**10", or
"3740.0":

   >>> float.fromhex('0x3.a7p10')
   3740.0

Applying the reverse conversion to "3740.0" gives a different
hexadecimal string representing the same number:

   >>> float.hex(3740.0)
   '0x1.d380000000000p+11'


5.5. Iterator Types
===================

Baru pada versi 2.2.

Python supports a concept of iteration over containers.  This is
implemented using two distinct methods; these are used to allow user-
defined classes to support iteration.  Sequences, described below in
more detail, always support the iteration methods.

One method needs to be defined for container objects to provide
iteration support:

container.__iter__()

   Return an iterator object.  The object is required to support the
   iterator protocol described below.  If a container supports
   different types of iteration, additional methods can be provided to
   specifically request iterators for those iteration types.  (An
   example of an object supporting multiple forms of iteration would
   be a tree structure which supports both breadth-first and depth-
   first traversal.)  This method corresponds to the "tp_iter" slot of
   the type structure for Python objects in the Python/C API.

The iterator objects themselves are required to support the following
two methods, which together form the *iterator protocol*:

iterator.__iter__()

   Return the iterator object itself.  This is required to allow both
   containers and iterators to be used with the "for" and "in"
   statements. This method corresponds to the "tp_iter" slot of the
   type structure for Python objects in the Python/C API.

iterator.next()

   Return the next item from the container.  If there are no further
   items, raise the "StopIteration" exception.  This method
   corresponds to the "tp_iternext" slot of the type structure for
   Python objects in the Python/C API.

Python defines several iterator objects to support iteration over
general and specific sequence types, dictionaries, and other more
specialized forms.  The specific types are not important beyond their
implementation of the iterator protocol.

The intention of the protocol is that once an iterator's "next()"
method raises "StopIteration", it will continue to do so on subsequent
calls. Implementations that do not obey this property are deemed
broken.  (This constraint was added in Python 2.3; in Python 2.2,
various iterators are broken according to this rule.)


5.5.1. Generator Types
----------------------

Python's *generator*s provide a convenient way to implement the
iterator protocol.  If a container object's "__iter__()" method is
implemented as a generator, it will automatically return an iterator
object (technically, a generator object) supplying the "__iter__()"
and "next()" methods.  More information about generators can be found
in the documentation for the yield expression.


5.6. Sequence Types --- "str", "unicode", "list", "tuple", "bytearray", "buffer", "xrange"
==========================================================================================

There are seven sequence types: strings, Unicode strings, lists,
tuples, bytearrays, buffers, and xrange objects.

For other containers see the built in "dict" and "set" classes, and
the "collections" module.

String literals are written in single or double quotes: "'xyzzy'",
""frobozz"".  See String literals for more about string literals.
Unicode strings are much like strings, but are specified in the syntax
using a preceding "'u'" character: "u'abc'", "u"def"". In addition to
the functionality described here, there are also string-specific
methods described in the String Methods section. Lists are constructed
with square brackets, separating items with commas: "[a, b, c]".
Tuples are constructed by the comma operator (not within square
brackets), with or without enclosing parentheses, but an empty tuple
must have the enclosing parentheses, such as "a, b, c" or "()".  A
single item tuple must have a trailing comma, such as "(d,)".

Bytearray objects are created with the built-in function
"bytearray()".

Buffer objects are not directly supported by Python syntax, but can be
created by calling the built-in function "buffer()".  They don't
support concatenation or repetition.

Objects of type xrange are similar to buffers in that there is no
specific syntax to create them, but they are created using the
"xrange()" function.  They don't support slicing, concatenation or
repetition, and using "in", "not in", "min()" or "max()" on them is
inefficient.

Most sequence types support the following operations.  The "in" and
"not in" operations have the same priorities as the comparison
operations.  The "+" and "*" operations have the same priority as the
corresponding numeric operations. [3] Additional methods are provided
for Mutable Sequence Types.

This table lists the sequence operations sorted in ascending priority.
In the table, *s* and *t* are sequences of the same type; *n*, *i* and
*j* are integers:

Sequence types also support comparisons. In particular, tuples and
lists are compared lexicographically by comparing corresponding
elements. This means that to compare equal, every element must compare
equal and the two sequences must be of the same type and have the same
length. (For full details see Perbandingan in the language reference.)

Catatan:

1. When *s* is a string or Unicode string object the "in" and "not
   in" operations act like a substring test.  In Python versions
   before 2.3, *x* had to be a string of length 1. In Python 2.3 and
   beyond, *x* may be a string of any length.

2. Values of *n* less than "0" are treated as "0" (which yields an
   empty sequence of the same type as *s*).  Note that items in the
   sequence *s* are not copied; they are referenced multiple times.
   This often haunts new Python programmers; consider:

   >>> lists = [[]] * 3
   >>> lists
   [[], [], []]
   >>> lists[0].append(3)
   >>> lists
   [[3], [3], [3]]

   What has happened is that "[[]]" is a one-element list containing
   an empty list, so all three elements of "[[]] * 3" are references
   to this single empty list.  Modifying any of the elements of
   "lists" modifies this single list. You can create a list of
   different lists this way:

   >>> lists = [[] for i in range(3)]
   >>> lists[0].append(3)
   >>> lists[1].append(5)
   >>> lists[2].append(7)
   >>> lists
   [[3], [5], [7]]

   Further explanation is available in the FAQ entry How do I create a
   multidimensional list?.

3. If *i* or *j* is negative, the index is relative to the end of
   sequence *s*: "len(s) + i" or "len(s) + j" is substituted.  But
   note that "-0" is still "0".

4. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* is defined as the sequence of
   items with index *k* such that "i <= k < j".  If *i* or *j* is
   greater than "len(s)", use "len(s)".  If *i* is omitted or "None",
   use "0".  If *j* is omitted or "None", use "len(s)".  If *i* is
   greater than or equal to *j*, the slice is empty.

5. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* with step *k* is defined as the
   sequence of items with index  "x = i + n*k" such that "0 <= n <
   (j-i)/k".  In other words, the indices are "i", "i+k", "i+2*k",
   "i+3*k" and so on, stopping when *j* is reached (but never
   including *j*).  When *k* is positive, *i* and *j* are reduced to
   "len(s)" if they are greater. When *k* is negative, *i* and *j* are
   reduced to "len(s) - 1" if they are greater.  If *i* or *j* are
   omitted or "None", they become "end" values (which end depends on
   the sign of *k*).  Note, *k* cannot be zero. If *k* is "None", it
   is treated like "1".

6. **CPython implementation detail:** If *s* and *t* are both
   strings, some Python implementations such as CPython can usually
   perform an in-place optimization for assignments of the form "s = s
   + t" or "s += t".  When applicable, this optimization makes
   quadratic run-time much less likely.  This optimization is both
   version and implementation dependent.  For performance sensitive
   code, it is preferable to use the "str.join()" method which assures
   consistent linear concatenation performance across versions and
   implementations.

   Berubah pada versi 2.4: Formerly, string concatenation never
   occurred in-place.


5.6.1. String Methods
---------------------

Below are listed the string methods which both 8-bit strings and
Unicode objects support.  Some of them are also available on
"bytearray" objects.

In addition, Python's strings support the sequence type methods
described in the Sequence Types --- str, unicode, list, tuple,
bytearray, buffer, xrange section. To output formatted strings use
template strings or the "%" operator described in the String
Formatting Operations section. Also, see the "re" module for string
functions based on regular expressions.

str.capitalize()

   Return a copy of the string with its first character capitalized
   and the rest lowercased.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.center(width[, fillchar])

   Return centered in a string of length *width*. Padding is done
   using the specified *fillchar* (default is a space).

   Berubah pada versi 2.4: Support for the *fillchar* argument.

str.count(sub[, start[, end]])

   Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring *sub*
   in the range [*start*, *end*].  Optional arguments *start* and
   *end* are interpreted as in slice notation.

str.decode([encoding[, errors]])

   Decodes the string using the codec registered for *encoding*.
   *encoding* defaults to the default string encoding.  *errors* may
   be given to set a different error handling scheme.  The default is
   "'strict'", meaning that encoding errors raise "UnicodeError".
   Other possible values are "'ignore'", "'replace'" and any other
   name registered via "codecs.register_error()", see section Codec
   Base Classes.

   Baru pada versi 2.2.

   Berubah pada versi 2.3: Support for other error handling schemes
   added.

   Berubah pada versi 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.

str.encode([encoding[, errors]])

   Return an encoded version of the string.  Default encoding is the
   current default string encoding.  *errors* may be given to set a
   different error handling scheme.  The default for *errors* is
   "'strict'", meaning that encoding errors raise a "UnicodeError".
   Other possible values are "'ignore'", "'replace'",
   "'xmlcharrefreplace'", "'backslashreplace'" and any other name
   registered via "codecs.register_error()", see section Codec Base
   Classes. For a list of possible encodings, see section Standard
   Encodings.

   Baru pada versi 2.0.

   Berubah pada versi 2.3: Support for "'xmlcharrefreplace'" and
   "'backslashreplace'" and other error handling schemes added.

   Berubah pada versi 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.

str.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])

   Return "True" if the string ends with the specified *suffix*,
   otherwise return "False".  *suffix* can also be a tuple of suffixes
   to look for.  With optional *start*, test beginning at that
   position.  With optional *end*, stop comparing at that position.

   Berubah pada versi 2.5: Accept tuples as *suffix*.

str.expandtabs([tabsize])

   Return a copy of the string where all tab characters are replaced
   by one or more spaces, depending on the current column and the
   given tab size.  Tab positions occur every *tabsize* characters
   (default is 8, giving tab positions at columns 0, 8, 16 and so on).
   To expand the string, the current column is set to zero and the
   string is examined character by character.  If the character is a
   tab ("\t"), one or more space characters are inserted in the result
   until the current column is equal to the next tab position. (The
   tab character itself is not copied.)  If the character is a newline
   ("\n") or return ("\r"), it is copied and the current column is
   reset to zero.  Any other character is copied unchanged and the
   current column is incremented by one regardless of how the
   character is represented when printed.

   >>> '01\t012\t0123\t01234'.expandtabs()
   '01      012     0123    01234'
   >>> '01\t012\t0123\t01234'.expandtabs(4)
   '01  012 0123    01234'

str.find(sub[, start[, end]])

   Return the lowest index in the string where substring *sub* is
   found within the slice "s[start:end]".  Optional arguments *start*
   and *end* are interpreted as in slice notation.  Return "-1" if
   *sub* is not found.

   Catatan: The "find()" method should be used only if you need to
     know the position of *sub*.  To check if *sub* is a substring or
     not, use the "in" operator:

        >>> 'Py' in 'Python'
        True

str.format(*args, **kwargs)

   Perform a string formatting operation.  The string on which this
   method is called can contain literal text or replacement fields
   delimited by braces "{}".  Each replacement field contains either
   the numeric index of a positional argument, or the name of a
   keyword argument.  Returns a copy of the string where each
   replacement field is replaced with the string value of the
   corresponding argument.

   >>> "The sum of 1 + 2 is {0}".format(1+2)
   'The sum of 1 + 2 is 3'

   See Format String Syntax for a description of the various
   formatting options that can be specified in format strings.

   This method of string formatting is the new standard in Python 3,
   and should be preferred to the "%" formatting described in String
   Formatting Operations in new code.

   Baru pada versi 2.6.

str.index(sub[, start[, end]])

   Like "find()", but raise "ValueError" when the substring is not
   found.

str.isalnum()

   Return true if all characters in the string are alphanumeric and
   there is at least one character, false otherwise.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.isalpha()

   Return true if all characters in the string are alphabetic and
   there is at least one character, false otherwise.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.isdigit()

   Return true if all characters in the string are digits and there is
   at least one character, false otherwise.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.islower()

   Return true if all cased characters [4] in the string are lowercase
   and there is at least one cased character, false otherwise.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.isspace()

   Return true if there are only whitespace characters in the string
   and there is at least one character, false otherwise.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.istitle()

   Return true if the string is a titlecased string and there is at
   least one character, for example uppercase characters may only
   follow uncased characters and lowercase characters only cased ones.
   Return false otherwise.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.isupper()

   Return true if all cased characters [4] in the string are uppercase
   and there is at least one cased character, false otherwise.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.join(iterable)

   Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in
   *iterable*. If there is any Unicode object in *iterable*, return a
   Unicode instead. A "TypeError" will be raised if there are any non-
   string or non Unicode object values in *iterable*.  The separator
   between elements is the string providing this method.

str.ljust(width[, fillchar])

   Return the string left justified in a string of length *width*.
   Padding is done using the specified *fillchar* (default is a
   space).  The original string is returned if *width* is less than or
   equal to "len(s)".

   Berubah pada versi 2.4: Support for the *fillchar* argument.

str.lower()

   Return a copy of the string with all the cased characters [4]
   converted to lowercase.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.lstrip([chars])

   Return a copy of the string with leading characters removed.  The
   *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be
   removed.  If omitted or "None", the *chars* argument defaults to
   removing whitespace.  The *chars* argument is not a prefix; rather,
   all combinations of its values are stripped:

   >>> '   spacious   '.lstrip()
   'spacious   '
   >>> 'www.example.com'.lstrip('cmowz.')
   'example.com'

   Berubah pada versi 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.

str.partition(sep)

   Split the string at the first occurrence of *sep*, and return a
   3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator
   itself, and the part after the separator.  If the separator is not
   found, return a 3-tuple containing the string itself, followed by
   two empty strings.

   Baru pada versi 2.5.

str.replace(old, new[, count])

   Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old*
   replaced by *new*.  If the optional argument *count* is given, only
   the first *count* occurrences are replaced.

str.rfind(sub[, start[, end]])

   Return the highest index in the string where substring *sub* is
   found, such that *sub* is contained within "s[start:end]".
   Optional arguments *start* and *end* are interpreted as in slice
   notation.  Return "-1" on failure.

str.rindex(sub[, start[, end]])

   Like "rfind()" but raises "ValueError" when the substring *sub* is
   not found.

str.rjust(width[, fillchar])

   Return the string right justified in a string of length *width*.
   Padding is done using the specified *fillchar* (default is a
   space). The original string is returned if *width* is less than or
   equal to "len(s)".

   Berubah pada versi 2.4: Support for the *fillchar* argument.

str.rpartition(sep)

   Split the string at the last occurrence of *sep*, and return a
   3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator
   itself, and the part after the separator.  If the separator is not
   found, return a 3-tuple containing two empty strings, followed by
   the string itself.

   Baru pada versi 2.5.

str.rsplit([sep[, maxsplit]])

   Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the
   delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit* splits
   are done, the *rightmost* ones.  If *sep* is not specified or
   "None", any whitespace string is a separator.  Except for splitting
   from the right, "rsplit()" behaves like "split()" which is
   described in detail below.

   Baru pada versi 2.4.

str.rstrip([chars])

   Return a copy of the string with trailing characters removed.  The
   *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be
   removed.  If omitted or "None", the *chars* argument defaults to
   removing whitespace.  The *chars* argument is not a suffix; rather,
   all combinations of its values are stripped:

   >>> '   spacious   '.rstrip()
   '   spacious'
   >>> 'mississippi'.rstrip('ipz')
   'mississ'

   Berubah pada versi 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.

str.split([sep[, maxsplit]])

   Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the
   delimiter string.  If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit*
   splits are done (thus, the list will have at most "maxsplit+1"
   elements).  If *maxsplit* is not specified or "-1", then there is
   no limit on the number of splits (all possible splits are made).

   If *sep* is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together
   and are deemed to delimit empty strings (for example,
   "'1,,2'.split(',')" returns "['1', '', '2']").  The *sep* argument
   may consist of multiple characters (for example,
   "'1<>2<>3'.split('<>')" returns "['1', '2', '3']"). Splitting an
   empty string with a specified separator returns "['']".

   If *sep* is not specified or is "None", a different splitting
   algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded
   as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings
   at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing
   whitespace.  Consequently, splitting an empty string or a string
   consisting of just whitespace with a "None" separator returns "[]".

   For example, "' 1  2   3  '.split()" returns "['1', '2', '3']", and
   "'  1  2   3  '.split(None, 1)" returns "['1', '2   3  ']".

str.splitlines([keepends])

   Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line
   boundaries. This method uses the *universal newlines* approach to
   splitting lines. Line breaks are not included in the resulting list
   unless *keepends* is given and true.

   Python recognizes ""\r"", ""\n"", and ""\r\n"" as line boundaries
   for 8-bit strings.

   Sebagai contoh:

      >>> 'ab c\n\nde fg\rkl\r\n'.splitlines()
      ['ab c', '', 'de fg', 'kl']
      >>> 'ab c\n\nde fg\rkl\r\n'.splitlines(True)
      ['ab c\n', '\n', 'de fg\r', 'kl\r\n']

   Unlike "split()" when a delimiter string *sep* is given, this
   method returns an empty list for the empty string, and a terminal
   line break does not result in an extra line:

      >>> "".splitlines()
      []
      >>> "One line\n".splitlines()
      ['One line']

   For comparison, "split('\n')" gives:

      >>> ''.split('\n')
      ['']
      >>> 'Two lines\n'.split('\n')
      ['Two lines', '']

unicode.splitlines([keepends])

   Return a list of the lines in the string, like "str.splitlines()".
   However, the Unicode method splits on the following line
   boundaries, which are a superset of the *universal newlines*
   recognized for 8-bit strings.

   | Representation          | Deskripsi                     |

str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])

   Return "True" if string starts with the *prefix*, otherwise return
   "False". *prefix* can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for.
   With optional *start*, test string beginning at that position.
   With optional *end*, stop comparing string at that position.

   Berubah pada versi 2.5: Accept tuples as *prefix*.

str.strip([chars])

   Return a copy of the string with the leading and trailing
   characters removed. The *chars* argument is a string specifying the
   set of characters to be removed. If omitted or "None", the *chars*
   argument defaults to removing whitespace. The *chars* argument is
   not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are
   stripped:

   >>> '   spacious   '.strip()
   'spacious'
   >>> 'www.example.com'.strip('cmowz.')
   'example'

   Berubah pada versi 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.

str.swapcase()

   Return a copy of the string with uppercase characters converted to
   lowercase and vice versa.

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.title()

   Return a titlecased version of the string where words start with an
   uppercase character and the remaining characters are lowercase.

   The algorithm uses a simple language-independent definition of a
   word as groups of consecutive letters.  The definition works in
   many contexts but it means that apostrophes in contractions and
   possessives form word boundaries, which may not be the desired
   result:

      >>> "they're bill's friends from the UK".title()
      "They'Re Bill'S Friends From The Uk"

   A workaround for apostrophes can be constructed using regular
   expressions:

      >>> import re
      >>> def titlecase(s):
      ...     return re.sub(r"[A-Za-z]+('[A-Za-z]+)?",
      ...                   lambda mo: mo.group(0)[0].upper() +
      ...                              mo.group(0)[1:].lower(),
      ...                   s)
      ...
      >>> titlecase("they're bill's friends.")
      "They're Bill's Friends."

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.translate(table[, deletechars])

   Return a copy of the string where all characters occurring in the
   optional argument *deletechars* are removed, and the remaining
   characters have been mapped through the given translation table,
   which must be a string of length 256.

   You can use the "maketrans()" helper function in the "string"
   module to create a translation table. For string objects, set the
   *table* argument to "None" for translations that only delete
   characters:

   >>> 'read this short text'.translate(None, 'aeiou')
   'rd ths shrt txt'

   Baru pada versi 2.6: Support for a "None" *table* argument.

   For Unicode objects, the "translate()" method does not accept the
   optional *deletechars* argument.  Instead, it returns a copy of the
   *s* where all characters have been mapped through the given
   translation table which must be a mapping of Unicode ordinals to
   Unicode ordinals, Unicode strings or "None". Unmapped characters
   are left untouched. Characters mapped to "None" are deleted.  Note,
   a more flexible approach is to create a custom character mapping
   codec using the "codecs" module (see "encodings.cp1251" for an
   example).

str.upper()

   Return a copy of the string with all the cased characters [4]
   converted to uppercase.  Note that "s.upper().isupper()" might be
   "False" if "s" contains uncased characters or if the Unicode
   category of the resulting character(s) is not "Lu" (Letter,
   uppercase), but e.g. "Lt" (Letter, titlecase).

   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.

str.zfill(width)

   Return the numeric string left filled with zeros in a string of
   length *width*.  A sign prefix is handled correctly.  The original
   string is returned if *width* is less than or equal to "len(s)".

   Baru pada versi 2.2.2.

The following methods are present only on unicode objects:

unicode.isnumeric()

   Return "True" if there are only numeric characters in S, "False"
   otherwise. Numeric characters include digit characters, and all
   characters that have the Unicode numeric value property, e.g.
   U+2155, VULGAR FRACTION ONE FIFTH.

unicode.isdecimal()

   Return "True" if there are only decimal characters in S, "False"
   otherwise. Decimal characters include digit characters, and all
   characters that can be used to form decimal-radix numbers, e.g.
   U+0660, ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO.


5.6.2. String Formatting Operations
-----------------------------------

String and Unicode objects have one unique built-in operation: the "%"
operator (modulo).  This is also known as the string *formatting* or
*interpolation* operator.  Given "format % values" (where *format* is
a string or Unicode object), "%" conversion specifications in *format*
are replaced with zero or more elements of *values*.  The effect is
similar to the using "sprintf()" in the C language.  If *format* is a
Unicode object, or if any of the objects being converted using the
"%s" conversion are Unicode objects, the result will also be a Unicode
object.

If *format* requires a single argument, *values* may be a single non-
tuple object. [5]  Otherwise, *values* must be a tuple with exactly
the number of items specified by the format string, or a single
mapping object (for example, a dictionary).

A conversion specifier contains two or more characters and has the
following components, which must occur in this order:

1. The "'%'" character, which marks the start of the specifier.

2. Mapping key (optional), consisting of a parenthesised sequence
   of characters (for example, "(somename)").

3. Conversion flags (optional), which affect the result of some
   conversion types.

4. Minimum field width (optional).  If specified as an "'*'"
   (asterisk), the actual width is read from the next element of the
   tuple in *values*, and the object to convert comes after the
   minimum field width and optional precision.

5. Precision (optional), given as a "'.'" (dot) followed by the
   precision.  If specified as "'*'" (an asterisk), the actual width
   is read from the next element of the tuple in *values*, and the
   value to convert comes after the precision.

6. Length modifier (optional).

7. Conversion type.

When the right argument is a dictionary (or other mapping type), then
the formats in the string *must* include a parenthesised mapping key
into that dictionary inserted immediately after the "'%'" character.
The mapping key selects the value to be formatted from the mapping.
For example:

>>> print '%(language)s has %(number)03d quote types.' % \
...       {"language": "Python", "number": 2}
Python has 002 quote types.

In this case no "*" specifiers may occur in a format (since they
require a sequential parameter list).

The conversion flag characters are:

Catatan:

1. The alternate form causes a leading zero ("'0'") to be inserted
   between left-hand padding and the formatting of the number if the
   leading character of the result is not already a zero.

2. The alternate form causes a leading "'0x'" or "'0X'" (depending
   on whether the "'x'" or "'X'" format was used) to be inserted
   before the first digit.

3. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a decimal
   point, even if no digits follow it.

   The precision determines the number of digits after the decimal
   point and defaults to 6.

4. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a decimal
   point, and trailing zeroes are not removed as they would otherwise
   be.

   The precision determines the number of significant digits before
   and after the decimal point and defaults to 6.

5. The "%r" conversion was added in Python 2.0.

   The precision determines the maximal number of characters used.

6. If the object or format provided is a "unicode" string, the
   resulting string will also be "unicode".

   The precision determines the maximal number of characters used.

7. Lihat **PEP 237**.

Since Python strings have an explicit length, "%s" conversions do not
assume that "'\0'" is the end of the string.

Berubah pada versi 2.7: "%f" conversions for numbers whose absolute
value is over 1e50 are no longer replaced by "%g" conversions.

Additional string operations are defined in standard modules "string"
and "re".


5.6.3. XRange Type
------------------

The "xrange" type is an immutable sequence which is commonly used for
looping.  The advantage of the "xrange" type is that an "xrange"
object will always take the same amount of memory, no matter the size
of the range it represents.  There are no consistent performance
advantages.

XRange objects have very little behavior: they only support indexing,
iteration, and the "len()" function.


5.6.4. Mutable Sequence Types
-----------------------------

List and "bytearray" objects support additional operations that allow
in-place modification of the object. Other mutable sequence types
(when added to the language) should also support these operations.
Strings and tuples are immutable sequence types: such objects cannot
be modified once created. The following operations are defined on
mutable sequence types (where *x* is an arbitrary object):

Catatan:

1. *t* must have the same length as the slice it is  replacing.

2. The C implementation of Python has historically accepted
   multiple parameters and implicitly joined them into a tuple; this
   no longer works in Python 2.0.  Use of this misfeature has been
   deprecated since Python 1.4.

3. *t* can be any iterable object.

4. Raises "ValueError" when *x* is not found in *s*. When a
   negative index is passed as the second or third parameter to the
   "index()" method, the list length is added, as for slice indices.
   If it is still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for slice
   indices.

   Berubah pada versi 2.3: Previously, "index()" didn't have arguments
   for specifying start and stop positions.

5. When a negative index is passed as the first parameter to the
   "insert()" method, the list length is added, as for slice indices.
   If it is still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for slice
   indices.

   Berubah pada versi 2.3: Previously, all negative indices were
   truncated to zero.

6. The "pop()" method's optional argument *i* defaults to "-1", so
   that by default the last item is removed and returned.

7. The "sort()" and "reverse()" methods modify the list in place
   for economy of space when sorting or reversing a large list.  To
   remind you that they operate by side effect, they don't return the
   sorted or reversed list.

8. The "sort()" method takes optional arguments for controlling the
   comparisons.

   *cmp* specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (list
   items) which should return a negative, zero or positive number
   depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than,
   equal to, or larger than the second argument: "cmp=lambda x,y:
   cmp(x.lower(), y.lower())".  The default value is "None".

   *key* specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract
   a comparison key from each list element: "key=str.lower".  The
   default value is "None".

   *reverse* adalah nilai *boolean*. Jika diatur ke "True", maka
   elemen list atau daftar diurutkan seolah-olah setiap perbandingan
   dibalik.

   In general, the *key* and *reverse* conversion processes are much
   faster than specifying an equivalent *cmp* function.  This is
   because *cmp* is called multiple times for each list element while
   *key* and *reverse* touch each element only once.  Use
   "functools.cmp_to_key()" to convert an old-style *cmp* function to
   a *key* function.

   Berubah pada versi 2.3: Support for "None" as an equivalent to
   omitting *cmp* was added.

   Berubah pada versi 2.4: Support for *key* and *reverse* was added.

9. Starting with Python 2.3, the "sort()" method is guaranteed to
   be stable.  A sort is stable if it guarantees not to change the
   relative order of elements that compare equal --- this is helpful
   for sorting in multiple passes (for example, sort by department,
   then by salary grade).

10. **CPython implementation detail:** While a list is being
    sorted, the effect of attempting to mutate, or even inspect, the
    list is undefined.  The C implementation of Python 2.3 and newer
    makes the list appear empty for the duration, and raises
    "ValueError" if it can detect that the list has been mutated
    during a sort.

11. The value *n* is an integer, or an object implementing
    "__index__()".  Zero and negative values of *n* clear the
    sequence.  Items in the sequence are not copied; they are
    referenced multiple times, as explained for "s * n" under Sequence
    Types --- str, unicode, list, tuple, bytearray, buffer, xrange.


5.7. Set Types --- "set", "frozenset"
=====================================

A *set* object is an unordered collection of distinct *hashable*
objects. Common uses include membership testing, removing duplicates
from a sequence, and computing mathematical operations such as
intersection, union, difference, and symmetric difference. (For other
containers see the built in "dict", "list", and "tuple" classes, and
the "collections" module.)

Baru pada versi 2.4.

Like other collections, sets support "x in set", "len(set)", and "for
x in set".  Being an unordered collection, sets do not record element
position or order of insertion.  Accordingly, sets do not support
indexing, slicing, or other sequence-like behavior.

There are currently two built-in set types, "set" and "frozenset". The
"set" type is mutable --- the contents can be changed using methods
like "add()" and "remove()".  Since it is mutable, it has no hash
value and cannot be used as either a dictionary key or as an element
of another set.  The "frozenset" type is immutable and *hashable* ---
its contents cannot be altered after it is created; it can therefore
be used as a dictionary key or as an element of another set.

As of Python 2.7, non-empty sets (not frozensets) can be created by
placing a comma-separated list of elements within braces, for example:
"{'jack', 'sjoerd'}", in addition to the "set" constructor.

The constructors for both classes work the same:

class set([iterable])
class frozenset([iterable])

   Return a new set or frozenset object whose elements are taken from
   *iterable*.  The elements of a set must be *hashable*.  To
   represent sets of sets, the inner sets must be "frozenset" objects.
   If *iterable* is not specified, a new empty set is returned.

   Instances of "set" and "frozenset" provide the following
   operations:

   len(s)

      Return the number of elements in set *s* (cardinality of *s*).

   x in s

      Test *x* for membership in *s*.

   x not in s

      Test *x* for non-membership in *s*.

   isdisjoint(other)

      Return "True" if the set has no elements in common with *other*.
      Sets are disjoint if and only if their intersection is the empty
      set.

      Baru pada versi 2.6.

   issubset(other)
   set <= other

      Test whether every element in the set is in *other*.

   set < other

      Test whether the set is a proper subset of *other*, that is,
      "set <= other and set != other".

   issuperset(other)
   set >= other

      Test whether every element in *other* is in the set.

   set > other

      Test whether the set is a proper superset of *other*, that is,
      "set >= other and set != other".

   union(*others)
   set | other | ...

      Return a new set with elements from the set and all others.

      Berubah pada versi 2.6: Accepts multiple input iterables.

   intersection(*others)
   set & other & ...

      Return a new set with elements common to the set and all others.

      Berubah pada versi 2.6: Accepts multiple input iterables.

   difference(*others)
   set - other - ...

      Return a new set with elements in the set that are not in the
      others.

      Berubah pada versi 2.6: Accepts multiple input iterables.

   symmetric_difference(other)
   set ^ other

      Return a new set with elements in either the set or *other* but
      not both.

   copy()

      Return a shallow copy of the set.

   Note, the non-operator versions of "union()", "intersection()",
   "difference()", and "symmetric_difference()", "issubset()", and
   "issuperset()" methods will accept any iterable as an argument.  In
   contrast, their operator based counterparts require their arguments
   to be sets.  This precludes error-prone constructions like
   "set('abc') & 'cbs'" in favor of the more readable
   "set('abc').intersection('cbs')".

   Both "set" and "frozenset" support set to set comparisons. Two sets
   are equal if and only if every element of each set is contained in
   the other (each is a subset of the other). A set is less than
   another set if and only if the first set is a proper subset of the
   second set (is a subset, but is not equal). A set is greater than
   another set if and only if the first set is a proper superset of
   the second set (is a superset, but is not equal).

   Instances of "set" are compared to instances of "frozenset" based
   on their members.  For example, "set('abc') == frozenset('abc')"
   returns "True" and so does "set('abc') in set([frozenset('abc')])".

   The subset and equality comparisons do not generalize to a total
   ordering function.  For example, any two non-empty disjoint sets
   are not equal and are not subsets of each other, so *all* of the
   following return "False": "a<b", "a==b", or "a>b". Accordingly,
   sets do not implement the "__cmp__()" method.

   Since sets only define partial ordering (subset relationships), the
   output of the "list.sort()" method is undefined for lists of sets.

   Set elements, like dictionary keys, must be *hashable*.

   Binary operations that mix "set" instances with "frozenset" return
   the type of the first operand.  For example: "frozenset('ab') |
   set('bc')" returns an instance of "frozenset".

   The following table lists operations available for "set" that do
   not apply to immutable instances of "frozenset":

   update(*others)
   set |= other | ...

   symmetric_difference_update(other)
   set ^= other

      Update the set, keeping only elements found in either set, but
      not in both.

   add(elem)

      Add element *elem* to the set.

   remove(elem)

      Remove element *elem* from the set.  Raises "KeyError" if *elem*
      is not contained in the set.

   discard(elem)

      Remove element *elem* from the set if it is present.

   pop()

      Remove and return an arbitrary element from the set.  Raises
      "KeyError" if the set is empty.

   clear()

      Remove all elements from the set.

   Note, the non-operator versions of the "update()",
   "intersection_update()", "difference_update()", and
   "symmetric_difference_update()" methods will accept any iterable as
   an argument.

   Note, the *elem* argument to the "__contains__()", "remove()", and
   "discard()" methods may be a set.  To support searching for an
   equivalent frozenset, a temporary one is created from *elem*.

     Differences between the "sets" module and the built-in set types.


5.8. Mapping Types --- "dict"
=============================

A *mapping* object maps *hashable* values to arbitrary objects.
Mappings are mutable objects.  There is currently only one standard
mapping type, the *dictionary*.  (For other containers see the built
in "list", "set", and "tuple" classes, and the "collections" module.)

A dictionary's keys are *almost* arbitrary values.  Values that are
not *hashable*, that is, values containing lists, dictionaries or
other mutable types (that are compared by value rather than by object
identity) may not be used as keys.  Numeric types used for keys obey
the normal rules for numeric comparison: if two numbers compare equal
(such as "1" and "1.0") then they can be used interchangeably to index
the same dictionary entry.  (Note however, that since computers store
floating-point numbers as approximations it is usually unwise to use
them as dictionary keys.)

Dictionaries can be created by placing a comma-separated list of "key:
value" pairs within braces, for example: "{'jack': 4098, 'sjoerd':
4127}" or "{4098: 'jack', 4127: 'sjoerd'}", or by the "dict"
constructor.

class dict(**kwarg)
class dict(mapping, **kwarg)
class dict(iterable, **kwarg)

   Return a new dictionary initialized from an optional positional
   argument and a possibly empty set of keyword arguments.

   If no positional argument is given, an empty dictionary is created.
   If a positional argument is given and it is a mapping object, a
   dictionary is created with the same key-value pairs as the mapping
   object.  Otherwise, the positional argument must be an *iterable*
   object.  Each item in the iterable must itself be an iterable with
   exactly two objects.  The first object of each item becomes a key
   in the new dictionary, and the second object the corresponding
   value.  If a key occurs more than once, the last value for that key
   becomes the corresponding value in the new dictionary.

   If keyword arguments are given, the keyword arguments and their
   values are added to the dictionary created from the positional
   argument.  If a key being added is already present, the value from
   the keyword argument replaces the value from the positional
   argument.

   To illustrate, the following examples all return a dictionary equal
   to "{"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3}":

      >>> a = dict(one=1, two=2, three=3)
      >>> b = {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3}
      >>> c = dict(zip(['one', 'two', 'three'], [1, 2, 3]))
      >>> d = dict([('two', 2), ('one', 1), ('three', 3)])
      >>> e = dict({'three': 3, 'one': 1, 'two': 2})
      >>> a == b == c == d == e
      True

   Providing keyword arguments as in the first example only works for
   keys that are valid Python identifiers.  Otherwise, any valid keys
   can be used.

   Baru pada versi 2.2.

   Berubah pada versi 2.3: Support for building a dictionary from
   keyword arguments added.

   These are the operations that dictionaries support (and therefore,
   custom mapping types should support too):

   len(d)

      Return the number of items in the dictionary *d*.

   d[key]

      Return the item of *d* with key *key*.  Raises a "KeyError" if
      *key* is not in the map.

      If a subclass of dict defines a method "__missing__()" and *key*
      is not present, the "d[key]" operation calls that method with
      the key *key* as argument.  The "d[key]" operation then returns
      or raises whatever is returned or raised by the
      "__missing__(key)" call. No other operations or methods invoke
      "__missing__()". If "__missing__()" is not defined, "KeyError"
      is raised. "__missing__()" must be a method; it cannot be an
      instance variable:

         >>> class Counter(dict):
         ...     def __missing__(self, key):
         ...         return 0
         >>> c = Counter()
         >>> c['red']
         0
         >>> c['red'] += 1
         >>> c['red']
         1

      The example above shows part of the implementation of
      "collections.Counter".  A different "__missing__" method is used
      by "collections.defaultdict".

      Baru pada versi 2.5: Recognition of __missing__ methods of dict
      subclasses.

   d[key] = value

      Set "d[key]" to *value*.

   del d[key]

      Remove "d[key]" from *d*.  Raises a "KeyError" if *key* is not
      in the map.

   key in d

      Return "True" if *d* has a key *key*, else "False".

      Baru pada versi 2.2.

   key not in d

      Equivalent to "not key in d".

      Baru pada versi 2.2.

   iter(d)

      Return an iterator over the keys of the dictionary.  This is a
      shortcut for "iterkeys()".

   clear()

      Remove all items from the dictionary.

   copy()

      Return a shallow copy of the dictionary.

   fromkeys(seq[, value])

      Create a new dictionary with keys from *seq* and values set to
      *value*.

      "fromkeys()" is a class method that returns a new dictionary.
      *value* defaults to "None".

      Baru pada versi 2.3.

   get(key[, default])

      Return the value for *key* if *key* is in the dictionary, else
      *default*. If *default* is not given, it defaults to "None", so
      that this method never raises a "KeyError".

   has_key(key)

      Test for the presence of *key* in the dictionary.  "has_key()"
      is deprecated in favor of "key in d".

   items()

      Return a copy of the dictionary's list of "(key, value)" pairs.

      **CPython implementation detail:** Keys and values are listed in
      an arbitrary order which is non-random, varies across Python
      implementations, and depends on the dictionary's history of
      insertions and deletions.

      If "items()", "keys()", "values()", "iteritems()", "iterkeys()",
      and "itervalues()" are called with no intervening modifications
      to the dictionary, the lists will directly correspond.  This
      allows the creation of "(value, key)" pairs using "zip()":
      "pairs = zip(d.values(), d.keys())".  The same relationship
      holds for the "iterkeys()" and "itervalues()" methods: "pairs =
      zip(d.itervalues(), d.iterkeys())" provides the same value for
      "pairs". Another way to create the same list is "pairs = [(v, k)
      for (k, v) in d.iteritems()]".

   iteritems()

      Return an iterator over the dictionary's "(key, value)" pairs.
      See the note for "dict.items()".

      Using "iteritems()" while adding or deleting entries in the
      dictionary may raise a "RuntimeError" or fail to iterate over
      all entries.

   iterkeys()

      "dict.items()".

   keys()

      Return a copy of the dictionary's list of keys.  See the note
      for "dict.items()".

   pop(key[, default])

      If *key* is in the dictionary, remove it and return its value,
      else return *default*.  If *default* is not given and *key* is
      not in the dictionary, a "KeyError" is raised.

      Baru pada versi 2.3.

   popitem()

      Remove and return an arbitrary "(key, value)" pair from the
      dictionary.

      "popitem()" is useful to destructively iterate over a
      dictionary, as often used in set algorithms.  If the dictionary
      is empty, calling "popitem()" raises a "KeyError".

   setdefault(key[, default])

      If *key* is in the dictionary, return its value.  If not, insert
      *key* with a value of *default* and return *default*.  *default*
      defaults to "None".

   update([other])

      Update the dictionary with the key/value pairs from *other*,
      overwriting existing keys.  Return "None".

      "update()" accepts either another dictionary object or an
      iterable of key/value pairs (as tuples or other iterables of
      length two).  If keyword arguments are specified, the dictionary
      is then updated with those key/value pairs: "d.update(red=1,
      blue=2)".

      Berubah pada versi 2.4: Allowed the argument to be an iterable
      of key/value pairs and allowed keyword arguments.

   values()

      Return a copy of the dictionary's list of values.  See the note
      for "dict.items()".

   viewitems()

      Return a new view of the dictionary's items ("(key, value)"
      pairs).  See below for documentation of view objects.

      Baru pada versi 2.7.

   viewkeys()

      Return a new view of the dictionary's keys.  See below for

      Return a new view of the dictionary's values.  See below for
      documentation of view objects.

      Baru pada versi 2.7.

   Dictionaries compare equal if and only if they have the same "(key,
   value)" pairs.


5.8.1. Dictionary view objects
------------------------------

The objects returned by "dict.viewkeys()", "dict.viewvalues()" and
"dict.viewitems()" are *view objects*.  They provide a dynamic view on
the dictionary's entries, which means that when the dictionary
changes, the view reflects these changes.

Dictionary views can be iterated over to yield their respective data,
and support membership tests:

len(dictview)

   Return the number of entries in the dictionary.

iter(dictview)

   Return an iterator over the keys, values or items (represented as
   tuples of "(key, value)") in the dictionary.

   Keys and values are iterated over in an arbitrary order which is
   non-random, varies across Python implementations, and depends on
   the dictionary's history of insertions and deletions. If keys,
   values and items views are iterated over with no intervening
   modifications to the dictionary, the order of items will directly
   correspond.  This allows the creation of "(value, key)" pairs using
   "zip()": "pairs = zip(d.values(), d.keys())".  Another way to
   create the same list is "pairs = [(v, k) for (k, v) in d.items()]".

   Iterating views while adding or deleting entries in the dictionary
   may raise a "RuntimeError" or fail to iterate over all entries.

x in dictview

   Return "True" if *x* is in the underlying dictionary's keys, values
   or items (in the latter case, *x* should be a "(key, value)"
   tuple).

Keys views are set-like since their entries are unique and hashable.
If all values are hashable, so that (key, value) pairs are unique and
hashable, then the items view is also set-like.  (Values views are not
treated as set-like since the entries are generally not unique.)  Then
these set operations are available ("other" refers either to another
view or a set):

dictview & other

   Return the intersection of the dictview and the other object as a
   new set.

dictview | other

   Return the union of the dictview and the other object as a new set.

dictview - other

   Return the difference between the dictview and the other object
   (all elements in *dictview* that aren't in *other*) as a new set.

dictview ^ other

   Return the symmetric difference (all elements either in *dictview*
   or *other*, but not in both) of the dictview and the other object
   as a new set.

An example of dictionary view usage:

   >>> dishes = {'eggs': 2, 'sausage': 1, 'bacon': 1, 'spam': 500}
   >>> keys = dishes.viewkeys()
   >>> values = dishes.viewvalues()

   >>> # iteration
   >>> n = 0
   >>> for val in values:
   ...     n += val
   >>> print(n)
   504

   >>> # keys and values are iterated over in the same order
   >>> list(keys)
   ['eggs', 'bacon', 'sausage', 'spam']
   >>> list(values)
   [2, 1, 1, 500]

   >>> # view objects are dynamic and reflect dict changes
   >>> del dishes['eggs']
   >>> del dishes['sausage']
   >>> list(keys)
   ['spam', 'bacon']

   >>> # set operations
   >>> keys & {'eggs', 'bacon', 'salad'}
   {'bacon'}


5.9. File Objects
=================

File objects are implemented using C's "stdio" package and can be
created with the built-in "open()" function.  File objects are also
returned by some other built-in functions and methods, such as
"os.popen()" and "os.fdopen()" and the "makefile()" method of socket
objects. Temporary files can be created using the "tempfile" module,
and high-level file operations such as copying, moving, and deleting
files and directories can be achieved with the "shutil" module.

When a file operation fails for an I/O-related reason, the exception
"IOError" is raised.  This includes situations where the operation is
not defined for some reason, like "seek()" on a tty device or writing
a file opened for reading.

Files have the following methods:

file.close()

   Close the file.  A closed file cannot be read or written any more.
   Any operation which requires that the file be open will raise a
   "ValueError" after the file has been closed.  Calling "close()"
   more than once is allowed.

   As of Python 2.5, you can avoid having to call this method
   explicitly if you use the "with" statement.  For example, the
   following code will automatically close *f* when the "with" block
   is exited:

      from __future__ import with_statement # This isn't required in Python 2.6

      with open("hello.txt") as f:
          for line in f:
              print line,

   In older versions of Python, you would have needed to do this to
   get the same effect:

      f = open("hello.txt")
      try:
          for line in f:
              print line,
      finally:
          f.close()

   Catatan: Not all "file-like" types in Python support use as a
     context manager for the "with" statement.  If your code is
     intended to work with any file-like object, you can use the
     function "contextlib.closing()" instead of using the object
     directly.

file.flush()

   Flush the internal buffer, like "stdio"'s "fflush()".  This may be
   a no-op on some file-like objects.

   Catatan: "flush()" does not necessarily write the file's data to
     disk. Use "flush()" followed by "os.fsync()" to ensure this
     behavior.

file.fileno()

   Return the integer "file descriptor" that is used by the underlying
   implementation to request I/O operations from the operating system.
   This can be useful for other, lower level interfaces that use file
   descriptors, such as the "fcntl" module or "os.read()" and friends.

   Catatan: File-like objects which do not have a real file
     descriptor should *not* provide this method!

file.isatty()

   Return "True" if the file is connected to a tty(-like) device, else
   "False".

   Catatan: If a file-like object is not associated with a real
     file, this method should *not* be implemented.

file.next()

   A file object is its own iterator, for example "iter(f)" returns
   *f* (unless *f* is closed).  When a file is used as an iterator,
   typically in a "for" loop (for example, "for line in f: print
   line.strip()"), the "next()" method is called repeatedly.  This
   method returns the next input line, or raises "StopIteration" when
   EOF is hit when the file is open for reading (behavior is undefined
   when the file is open for writing).  In order to make a "for" loop
   the most efficient way of looping over the lines of a file (a very
   common operation), the "next()" method uses a hidden read-ahead
   buffer.  As a consequence of using a read-ahead buffer, combining
   "next()" with other file methods (like "readline()") does not work
   right.  However, using "seek()" to reposition the file to an
   absolute position will flush the read-ahead buffer.

   Baru pada versi 2.3.

file.read([size])

   Read at most *size* bytes from the file (less if the read hits EOF
   before obtaining *size* bytes).  If the *size* argument is negative
   or omitted, read all data until EOF is reached.  The bytes are
   returned as a string object.  An empty string is returned when EOF
   is encountered immediately.  (For certain files, like ttys, it
   makes sense to continue reading after an EOF is hit.)  Note that
   this method may call the underlying C function "fread()" more than
   once in an effort to acquire as close to *size* bytes as possible.
   Also note that when in non-blocking mode, less data than was
   requested may be returned, even if no *size* parameter was given.

   Catatan: This function is simply a wrapper for the underlying
     "fread()" C function, and will behave the same in corner cases,
     such as whether the EOF value is cached.

file.readline([size])

   Read one entire line from the file.  A trailing newline character
   is kept in the string (but may be absent when a file ends with an
   incomplete line). [6] If the *size* argument is present and non-
   negative, it is a maximum byte count (including the trailing
   newline) and an incomplete line may be returned. When *size* is not
   0, an empty string is returned *only* when EOF is encountered
   immediately.

   Catatan: Unlike "stdio"'s "fgets()", the returned string contains
     null characters ("'\0'") if they occurred in the input.

file.readlines([sizehint])

   Read until EOF using "readline()" and return a list containing the
   lines thus read.  If the optional *sizehint* argument is present,
   instead of reading up to EOF, whole lines totalling approximately
   *sizehint* bytes (possibly after rounding up to an internal buffer
   size) are read.  Objects implementing a file-like interface may
   choose to ignore *sizehint* if it cannot be implemented, or cannot
   be implemented efficiently.

file.xreadlines()

   This method returns the same thing as "iter(f)".

   Baru pada versi 2.1.

   Ditinggalkan sejak versi 2.3: Use "for line in file" instead.

file.seek(offset[, whence])

   Set the file's current position, like "stdio"'s "fseek()". The
   *whence* argument is optional and defaults to  "os.SEEK_SET" or "0"
   (absolute file positioning); other values are "os.SEEK_CUR" or "1"
   (seek relative to the current position) and "os.SEEK_END" or "2"
   (seek relative to the file's end).  There is no return value.

   For example, "f.seek(2, os.SEEK_CUR)" advances the position by two
   and "f.seek(-3, os.SEEK_END)" sets the position to the third to
   last.

   Note that if the file is opened for appending (mode "'a'" or
   "'a+'"), any "seek()" operations will be undone at the next write.
   If the file is only opened for writing in append mode (mode "'a'"),
   this method is essentially a no-op, but it remains useful for files
   opened in append mode with reading enabled (mode "'a+'").  If the
   file is opened in text mode (without "'b'"), only offsets returned
   by "tell()" are legal.  Use of other offsets causes undefined
   behavior.

   Note that not all file objects are seekable.

   Berubah pada versi 2.6: Passing float values as offset has been
   deprecated.

file.tell()

   Return the file's current position, like "stdio"'s "ftell()".

   Catatan: On Windows, "tell()" can return illegal values (after an
     "fgets()") when reading files with Unix-style line-endings. Use
     binary mode ("'rb'") to circumvent this problem.

file.truncate([size])

   Truncate the file's size.  If the optional *size* argument is
   present, the file is truncated to (at most) that size.  The size
   defaults to the current position. The current file position is not
   changed.  Note that if a specified size exceeds the file's current
   size, the result is platform-dependent:  possibilities include that
   the file may remain unchanged, increase to the specified size as if
   zero-filled, or increase to the specified size with undefined new
   content. Availability:  Windows, many Unix variants.

file.write(str)

   Write a string to the file.  There is no return value.  Due to
   buffering, the string may not actually show up in the file until
   the "flush()" or "close()" method is called.

file.writelines(sequence)

   Write a sequence of strings to the file.  The sequence can be any
   iterable object producing strings, typically a list of strings.
   There is no return value. (The name is intended to match
   "readlines()"; "writelines()" does not add line separators.)

Files support the iterator protocol.  Each iteration returns the same
result as "readline()", and iteration ends when the "readline()"
method returns an empty string.

File objects also offer a number of other interesting attributes.
These are not required for file-like objects, but should be
implemented if they make sense for the particular object.

file.closed

   bool indicating the current state of the file object.  This is a
   read-only attribute; the "close()" method changes the value. It may
   not be available on all file-like objects.

file.encoding

   The encoding that this file uses. When Unicode strings are written
   to a file, they will be converted to byte strings using this
   encoding. In addition, when the file is connected to a terminal,
   the attribute gives the encoding that the terminal is likely to use
   (that  information might be incorrect if the user has misconfigured
   the  terminal). The attribute is read-only and may not be present
   on all file-like objects. It may also be "None", in which case the
   file uses the system default encoding for converting Unicode
   strings.

   Baru pada versi 2.3.

file.errors

   The Unicode error handler used along with the encoding.

   Baru pada versi 2.6.

file.mode

   The I/O mode for the file.  If the file was created using the
   "open()" built-in function, this will be the value of the *mode*
   parameter.  This is a read-only attribute and may not be present on
   all file-like objects.

file.name

   If the file object was created using "open()", the name of the
   file. Otherwise, some string that indicates the source of the file
   object, of the form "<...>".  This is a read-only attribute and may
   not be present on all file-like objects.

file.newlines

   If Python was built with *universal newlines* enabled (the default)
   this read-only attribute exists, and for files opened in universal
   newline read mode it keeps track of the types of newlines
   encountered while reading the file. The values it can take are
   "'\r'", "'\n'", "'\r\n'", "None" (unknown, no newlines read yet) or
   a tuple containing all the newline types seen, to indicate that
   multiple newline conventions were encountered. For files not opened
   in universal newlines read mode the value of this attribute will be
   "None".

file.softspace

   Boolean that indicates whether a space character needs to be
   printed before another value when using the "print" statement.
   Classes that are trying to simulate a file object should also have
   a writable "softspace" attribute, which should be initialized to
   zero.  This will be automatic for most classes implemented in
   Python (care may be needed for objects that override attribute
   access); types implemented in C will have to provide a writable
   "softspace" attribute.

   Catatan: This attribute is not used to control the "print"
     statement, but to allow the implementation of "print" to keep
     track of its internal state.


5.10. memoryview type
=====================

Baru pada versi 2.7.

"memoryview" objects allow Python code to access the internal data of
an object that supports the buffer protocol without copying.  Memory
is generally interpreted as simple bytes.

class memoryview(obj)

   Create a "memoryview" that references *obj*.  *obj* must support
   the buffer protocol.  Built-in objects that support the buffer
   protocol include "str" and "bytearray" (but not "unicode").

   A "memoryview" has the notion of an *element*, which is the atomic
   memory unit handled by the originating object *obj*.  For many
   simple types such as "str" and "bytearray", an element is a single
   byte, but other third-party types may expose larger elements.

   "len(view)" returns the total number of elements in the memoryview,
   *view*.  The "itemsize" attribute will give you the number of bytes
   in a single element.

   A "memoryview" supports slicing to expose its data.  Taking a
   single index will return a single element as a "str" object.  Full
   slicing will result in a subview:

      >>> v = memoryview('abcefg')
      >>> v[1]
      'b'
      >>> v[-1]
      'g'
      >>> v[1:4]
      <memory at 0x77ab28>
      >>> v[1:4].tobytes()
      'bce'

   If the object the memoryview is over supports changing its data,
   the memoryview supports slice assignment:

      >>> data = bytearray('abcefg')
      >>> v = memoryview(data)
      >>> v.readonly
      False
      >>> v[0] = 'z'
      >>> data
      bytearray(b'zbcefg')
      >>> v[1:4] = '123'
      >>> data
      bytearray(b'z123fg')
      >>> v[2] = 'spam'
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      ValueError: cannot modify size of memoryview object

   Notice how the size of the memoryview object cannot be changed.

   "memoryview" has two methods:

   tobytes()

      Return the data in the buffer as a bytestring (an object of
      class "str").

         >>> m = memoryview("abc")
         >>> m.tobytes()
         'abc'

   tolist()

      Return the data in the buffer as a list of integers.

         >>> memoryview("abc").tolist()
         [97, 98, 99]

   There are also several readonly attributes available:

   format

      A string containing the format (in "struct" module style) for
      each element in the view.  This defaults to "'B'", a simple
      bytestring.

   itemsize

      The size in bytes of each element of the memoryview.

   shape

      A tuple of integers the length of "ndim" giving the shape of the
      memory as an N-dimensional array.

   ndim

      An integer indicating how many dimensions of a multi-dimensional
      array the memory represents.

   strides

      A tuple of integers the length of "ndim" giving the size in
      bytes to access each element for each dimension of the array.

   readonly

      A bool indicating whether the memory is read only.


5.11. Context Manager Types
===========================

Baru pada versi 2.5.

Python's "with" statement supports the concept of a runtime context
defined by a context manager.  This is implemented using two separate
methods that allow user-defined classes to define a runtime context
that is entered before the statement body is executed and exited when
the statement ends.

The *context management protocol* consists of a pair of methods that
need to be provided for a context manager object to define a runtime
context:

contextmanager.__enter__()

   Enter the runtime context and return either this object or another
   object related to the runtime context. The value returned by this
   method is bound to the identifier in the "as" clause of "with"
   statements using this context manager.

   An example of a context manager that returns itself is a file
   object. File objects return themselves from __enter__() to allow
   "open()" to be used as the context expression in a "with"
   statement.

   An example of a context manager that returns a related object is
   the one returned by "decimal.localcontext()". These managers set
   the active decimal context to a copy of the original decimal
   context and then return the copy. This allows changes to be made to
   the current decimal context in the body of the "with" statement
   without affecting code outside the "with" statement.

contextmanager.__exit__(exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb)

   Exit the runtime context and return a Boolean flag indicating if
   any exception that occurred should be suppressed. If an exception
   occurred while executing the body of the "with" statement, the
   arguments contain the exception type, value and traceback
   information. Otherwise, all three arguments are "None".

   Returning a true value from this method will cause the "with"
   statement to suppress the exception and continue execution with the
   statement immediately following the "with" statement. Otherwise the
   exception continues propagating after this method has finished
   executing. Exceptions that occur during execution of this method
   will replace any exception that occurred in the body of the "with"
   statement.

   The exception passed in should never be reraised explicitly -
   instead, this method should return a false value to indicate that
   the method completed successfully and does not want to suppress the
   raised exception. This allows context management code (such as
   "contextlib.nested") to easily detect whether or not an
   "__exit__()" method has actually failed.

Python defines several context managers to support easy thread
synchronisation, prompt closure of files or other objects, and simpler
manipulation of the active decimal arithmetic context. The specific
types are not treated specially beyond their implementation of the
context management protocol. See the "contextlib" module for some
examples.

Python's *generator*s and the "contextlib.contextmanager" *decorator*
provide a convenient way to implement these protocols.  If a generator
function is decorated with the "contextlib.contextmanager" decorator,
it will return a context manager implementing the necessary
"__enter__()" and "__exit__()" methods, rather than the iterator
produced by an undecorated generator function.

Note that there is no specific slot for any of these methods in the
type structure for Python objects in the Python/C API. Extension types
wanting to define these methods must provide them as a normal Python
accessible method. Compared to the overhead of setting up the runtime
context, the overhead of a single class dictionary lookup is
negligible.


5.12. Other Built-in Types
==========================

The interpreter supports several other kinds of objects. Most of these
support only one or two operations.


5.12.1. Modul-Modul
-------------------

The only special operation on a module is attribute access: "m.name",
where *m* is a module and *name* accesses a name defined in *m*'s
symbol table. Module attributes can be assigned to.  (Note that the
"import" statement is not, strictly speaking, an operation on a module
object; "import foo" does not require a module object named *foo* to
exist, rather it requires an (external) *definition* for a module
named *foo* somewhere.)

A special attribute of every module is "__dict__". This is the
dictionary containing the module's symbol table. Modifying this
dictionary will actually change the module's symbol table, but direct
assignment to the "__dict__" attribute is not possible (you can write
"m.__dict__['a'] = 1", which defines "m.a" to be "1", but you can't
write "m.__dict__ = {}").  Modifying "__dict__" directly is not
recommended.

Modules built into the interpreter are written like this: "<module
'sys' (built-in)>".  If loaded from a file, they are written as
"<module 'os' from '/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/os.pyc'>".


5.12.2. Classes and Class Instances
-----------------------------------

See Objects, values and types and Definisi Kelas for these.


5.12.3. Fungsi-Fungsi
---------------------

Function objects are created by function definitions.  The only
operation on a function object is to call it: "func(argument-list)".

There are really two flavors of function objects: built-in functions
and user-defined functions.  Both support the same operation (to call
the function), but the implementation is different, hence the
different object types.

See Definisi fungsi for more information.


5.12.4. Metode-Metode
---------------------

Methods are functions that are called using the attribute notation.
There are two flavors: built-in methods (such as "append()" on lists)
and class instance methods.  Built-in methods are described with the
types that support them.

The implementation adds two special read-only attributes to class
instance methods: "m.im_self" is the object on which the method
operates, and "m.im_func" is the function implementing the method.
Calling "m(arg-1, arg-2, ..., arg-n)" is completely equivalent to
calling "m.im_func(m.im_self, arg-1, arg-2, ..., arg-n)".

Class instance methods are either *bound* or *unbound*, referring to
whether the method was accessed through an instance or a class,
respectively.  When a method is unbound, its "im_self" attribute will
be "None" and if called, an explicit "self" object must be passed as
the first argument.  In this case, "self" must be an instance of the
unbound method's class (or a subclass of that class), otherwise a
"TypeError" is raised.

Like function objects, methods objects support getting arbitrary
attributes. However, since method attributes are actually stored on
the underlying function object ("meth.im_func"), setting method
attributes on either bound or unbound methods is disallowed.
Attempting to set an attribute on a method results in an
"AttributeError" being raised.  In order to set a method attribute,
you need to explicitly set it on the underlying function object:

   >>> class C:
   ...     def method(self):
   ...         pass
   ...
   >>> c = C()
   >>> c.method.whoami = 'my name is method'  # can't set on the method
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   AttributeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute 'whoami'
   >>> c.method.im_func.whoami = 'my name is method'
   >>> c.method.whoami
   'my name is method'

See The standard type hierarchy for more information.


5.12.5. Objek Kode
------------------

Code objects are used by the implementation to represent "pseudo-
compiled" executable Python code such as a function body. They differ
from function objects because they don't contain a reference to their
global execution environment.  Code objects are returned by the built-
in "compile()" function and can be extracted from function objects
through their "func_code" attribute. See also the "code" module.

A code object can be executed or evaluated by passing it (instead of a
source string) to the "exec" statement or the built-in "eval()"
function.

See The standard type hierarchy for more information.


5.12.6. Objek Tipe
------------------

Type objects represent the various object types.  An object's type is
accessed by the built-in function "type()".  There are no special
operations on types.  The standard module "types" defines names for
all standard built-in types.

Types are written like this: "<type 'int'>".


5.12.7. The Null Object
-----------------------

This object is returned by functions that don't explicitly return a
value.  It supports no special operations.  There is exactly one null
object, named "None" (a built-in name).

It is written as "None".


5.12.8. The Ellipsis Object
---------------------------

This object is used by extended slice notation (see Slicings).  It
supports no special operations.  There is exactly one ellipsis object,
named "Ellipsis" (a built-in name).

It is written as "Ellipsis".  When in a subscript, it can also be
written as "...", for example "seq[...]".


5.12.9. The NotImplemented Object
---------------------------------

This object is returned from comparisons and binary operations when
they are asked to operate on types they don't support. See
Perbandingan for more information.

It is written as "NotImplemented".


5.12.10. Nilai *Boolean*
------------------------

Boolean values are the two constant objects "False" and "True".  They
are used to represent truth values (although other values can also be
considered false or true).  In numeric contexts (for example when used
as the argument to an arithmetic operator), they behave like the
integers 0 and 1, respectively. The built-in function "bool()" can be
used to convert any value to a Boolean, if the value can be
interpreted as a truth value (see section Pengujian Kebenaran Nilai
above).

They are written as "False" and "True", respectively.


5.12.11. Internal Objects
-------------------------

See The standard type hierarchy for this information.  It describes
stack frame objects, traceback objects, and slice objects.


5.13. Atribut Spesial
=====================

The implementation adds a few special read-only attributes to several
object types, where they are relevant.  Some of these are not reported
by the "dir()" built-in function.

object.__dict__

   A dictionary or other mapping object used to store an object's
   (writable) attributes.

object.__methods__

   Ditinggalkan sejak versi 2.2: Use the built-in function "dir()" to
   get a list of an object's attributes. This attribute is no longer
   available.

object.__members__

   Ditinggalkan sejak versi 2.2: Use the built-in function "dir()" to
   get a list of an object's attributes. This attribute is no longer
   available.

instance.__class__

   The class to which a class instance belongs.

class.__bases__

   The tuple of base classes of a class object.

definition.__name__

   The name of the class, type, function, method, descriptor, or
   generator instance.

The following attributes are only supported by *new-style class*es.

class.__mro__

   This attribute is a tuple of classes that are considered when
   looking for base classes during method resolution.

class.mro()

   This method can be overridden by a metaclass to customize the
   method resolution order for its instances.  It is called at class
   instantiation, and its result is stored in "__mro__".

class.__subclasses__()

   Each new-style class keeps a list of weak references to its
   immediate subclasses.  This method returns a list of all those
   references still alive. Example:

      >>> int.__subclasses__()
      [<type 'bool'>]

[1] Additional information on these special methods may be found
    in the Python Reference Manual (Basic customization).

[2] As a consequence, the list "[1, 2]" is considered equal to
    "[1.0, 2.0]", and similarly for tuples.

[3] They must have since the parser can't tell the type of the
    operands.

[4] Cased characters are those with general category property
    being one of "Lu" (Letter, uppercase), "Ll" (Letter, lowercase),
    or "Lt" (Letter, titlecase).

[5] Untuk memformat hanya *tuple*, Anda harus menyediakan *tuple*
    *singleton* dimana elemennya hanya *tuple* yang akan diformat.

[6] The advantage of leaving the newline on is that returning an
    empty string is then an unambiguous EOF indication.  It is also
    possible (in cases where it might matter, for example, if you want
    to make an exact copy of a file while scanning its lines) to tell
    whether the last line of a file ended in a newline or not (yes
    this happens!).
