array¶

Looking for integer not implemented

Sample code:

import array
print(1 in array.array('B', b'12'))

CPy output:	uPy output:
False	Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 8, in <module> NotImplementedError:

Array deletion not implemented

Sample code:

import array
a = array.array('b', (1, 2, 3))
del a[1]
print(a)

CPy output:	uPy output:
array('b', [1, 3])	Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 9, in <module> TypeError: 'array' object does not support item deletion

Subscript with step != 1 is not yet implemented

Sample code:

import array
a = array.array('b', (1, 2, 3))
print(a[3:2:2])

CPy output:	uPy output:
array('b')	Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 9, in <module> NotImplementedError: only slices with step=1 (aka None) are supported

deque¶

Deque not implemented

Workaround: Use regular queues or lists creatively

Sample code:

import collections
D = collections.deque()
print(D)

CPy output:	uPy output:
deque([])	Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 8, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'deque'

json¶

JSON module does not throw exception when object is not serialisable

Sample code:

import json
a = bytes(x for x in range(256))
try:
    z = json.dumps(a)
    x = json.loads(z)
    print('Should not get here')
except TypeError:
    print('TypeError')

CPy output:	uPy output:
TypeError	Should not get here

struct¶

Struct pack with too few args, not checked by uPy

Sample code:

import struct
try:
    print(struct.pack('bb', 1))
    print('Should not get here')
except:
    print('struct.error')

CPy output:	uPy output:
struct.error	b'\x01\x00' Should not get here

Struct pack with too many args, not checked by uPy

Sample code:

import struct
try:
    print(struct.pack('bb', 1, 2, 3))
    print('Should not get here')
except:
    print('struct.error')

CPy output:	uPy output:
struct.error	b'\x01\x02' Should not get here

sys¶

Override sys.stdin, sys.stdout and sys.stderr. Impossible as they are stored in read-only memory.

Sample code:

import sys
sys.stdin = None
print(sys.stdin)

CPy output:	uPy output:
None	Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 8, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'stdin'
