builtins – builtin functions and exceptions

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

Functions and types

abs()

all()

any()

bin()

class bool

class bytearray

class bytes

See CPython documentation: bytes.

callable()

chr()

classmethod()

compile()

class complex

delattr(obj, name)

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

class dict

divmod()

enumerate()

eval()

exec()

filter()

class float

class frozenset

getattr()

globals()

hasattr()

hash()

hex()

id()

input()

class int

classmethod from_bytes(bytes, byteorder)

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

to_bytes(size, byteorder)

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

Note

The optional signed kwarg from CPython is not supported. MicroPython currently converts negative integers as signed, and positive as unsigned. (Details.)
