Method Name:
_make
Method Signature:
_make(iterable)
Parameter:
iterable – An iterable from which a namedtuple is created. The iterable can be another namedtuple as well.
Return Value:
Returns the namedtuple, which is a copy of the parameter iterable.
Overview:
- The _make() method of the namedtuple is a class method.
- The method creates an instance of a named tuple type.
- The Python examples below create named tuples from an iterable and as well as from a named tuple using the _make() method.
Example – Create a namedtuple from an iterable using _make() function:
|
# Example Python program that clones a namedtuple from another # namedtuple using the class method namedtuple._make() import collections as coll
# Create a type coord that represents a point on Earth's surface coord = coll.namedtuple("coord", "city, lat, long");
# Create a coord for NYC nyc = ["NYC", 40.73, -73.93];
# Clone a coord from an existing iterable nycCopy = coord._make(nyc); print("Cloned coord for NYC:"); print(nycCopy); |
Output:
|
Cloned coord for NYC: coord(city='NYC', lat=40.73, long=-73.93) |
Example – Create a namedtuple from an existing one using _make() function:
|
# Example Python program that clones a namedtuple from another # namedtuple using the class method namedtuple._make() import collections as coll
# Create a type coord that represents a point on Earth's surface coord = coll.namedtuple("coord", "city, lat, long");
# Create a coord for Quito quito = coord("Quito", -0.18, -78.46)
# Clone a coord from an existing coord quito1 = coord._make(quito); print("Cloned coord for Quito:"); print(quito1); |
Output:
|
Cloned coord for Quito: coord(city='Quito', lat=-0.18, long=-78.46) |
