builtins – builtin functions and exceptions

All builtin functions and exceptions are described here. They are also available via builtins module.

Functions and types

Not all of these functions and types are turned on in all CircuitPython ports, for space reasons.

abs()

all()

any()

bin()

class bool

class bytearray

class bytes

See CPython documentation: bytes.

callable()

chr()

classmethod()

compile()

class complex

The argument name should be a string, and this function deletes the named attribute from the object given by obj.

class dict

hasattr()

hash()

hex()

id()

input()

class int

classmethod from_bytes(bytes, byteorder)

In CircuitPython, byteorder parameter must be positional (this is compatible with CPython).

to_bytes(size, byteorder)

In CircuitPython, byteorder parameter must be positional (this is compatible with CPython).

isinstance()
