Objects of the base.RecordTypeAsn1Object class

Instances of base.RecordTypeAsn1Object class implement the mapping object protocol by means of the following methods:

__getitem__(key)

Returns a reference to embedded component (class instance) by key (type name).

__setitem__(key, value)

Assigns a reference to embedded component (class instance) by key (type name).

keys()

Returns a list of known keys (types names).

has_key(key)

Returns true if key (type name) is present in this object.

values()

Returns a list of references to embedded components (class instances).

items()

Returns a list of tuples each of which represents a key-value pair (type-name, embedded-component).

update(items)

Merges the items dictionary with the payload of this object.

__len__()

Returns the number of embedded components in this object.

__cmp__(other)

Called on object comparation of this ASN.1 object with the other, which should be an instance of RecordTypeAsn1Object class.

__hash__()

Returns object hash value, which is actually a XOR'ed set of hash values of embedded objects and keys.

__str__()

__repr__()

Returns a printable representation of ASN.1 object structure.

Instances of RecordTypeAsn1Object class make use of the following public instance variable:

fixedNames

fixedComponents

These instance variables should be initialized to type names and corresponding class references of embedded components to specify the structure of particular structured ASN.1 object implementation.
