blpapi.ConstantList

class blpapi.ConstantList(handle, sessions)

Represents a list of schema enumeration constants.

As well as the list of Constant objects, this class also provides access to the symbolic name, description and status of the list as a whole. All Constant objects in a ConstantList are of the same DataType.

ConstantList objects are read-only.

Application clients never create ConstantList object directly; applications will typically work with ConstantList objects returned by other blpapi components.

__iter__()

Return type: Iterator
Returns: Iterator over constants contained in this ConstantList

datatype()

Returns: Data type used to represent the value of this constant
Return type: int

The possible return values are enumerated in DataType.

description()

Returns: Human readable description of this ConstantList
Return type: str

getConstant(name)

Parameters: name (Name) – Name of the constant
Return type: Constant
Returns: Constant with the specified name
Raises: NotFoundException – If this ConstantList does not contain a Constant with the specified name

getConstantAt(position)

Parameters: position (int) – Position of the requested constant in the list
Return type: Constant
Returns: Constant at the specified position.
Raises: IndexOutOfRangeException – If position is not in the range from 0 to numConstants() - 1.

hasConstant(name)

Parameters: name (Name) – Name of the constant
Return type: bool
Returns: True if this ConstantList contains an item with this name.
Raises: TypeError – If name is neither a Name nor a string

name()

Returns: Symbolic name of this ConstantList
Return type: Name

numConstants()

Returns: Number of Constant objects in this list
Return type: int

status()

Returns: Status of this ConstantList
Return type: int

The possible return values are enumerated in SchemaStatus
