Python

To define Python as the target language in a template file :

#set( $env.language = 'Python' )

The information below shows the behavior of the generator when Python is the current target language.

For a detailed description of type conversion and literal values see the generated documentation : https://www.telosys.org/doc/latest/languages/language-python.html

Types conversion

Python is a dynamically-typed language, so there are no real types in the source code. But "type hints" were introduced in PEP 484 to make Python code easier to understand, maintain, and analyze. Telosys offers an automatic conversion of the model's neutral types into Python type hints.

The table below describes how model neutral types are automatically converted to Python type hints.

Conversion to Python type hints is supported since Telosys 4.3.0

Model type	Python type hint
string	str
byte	int
short	int
int	int
long	int
decimal	Decimal
float	float
double	float
boolean	bool
date	date
time	time
timetz	time
datetime	datetime
timestamp	datetime
datetimetz	datetime
uuid	UUID
binary	bytes
