#[pymethods]Expand description
A proc macro used to expose methods to Python.
Methods within a #[pymethods] block can be annotated with as well as the following:
| Annotation | Description |
|---|---|
#[new] | Defines the class constructor, like Python’s __new__ method. |
#[getter] and #[setter] | These define getters and setters, similar to Python’s @property decorator. This is useful for getters/setters that require computation or side effects; if that is not the case consider using #[pyo3(get, set)] on the struct’s field(s). |
#[staticmethod] | Defines the method as a staticmethod, like Python’s @staticmethod decorator. |
#[classmethod] | Defines the method as a classmethod, like Python’s @classmethod decorator. |
#[classattr] | Defines a class variable. |
#[args] | Deprecated way to define a method’s default arguments and allows the function to receive *args and **kwargs. Use #[pyo3(signature = (...))] instead. |
#[pyo3(<option> = <value>)][pyo3-method-options] | Any of the #[pyo3] options supported on pyfunction. |
For more on creating class methods, see the class section of the guide.
If the multiple-pymethods feature is enabled, it is possible to implement
multiple #[pymethods] blocks for a single #[pyclass].
This will add a transitive dependency on the inventory crate.
