Conversion Functions
Experimental!
Conversion is an experimental, innovative, and rapidly changing new feature for App Engine. Unfortunately, being on the bleeding edge means that we may make backwards-incompatible changes to Conversion. We will inform the community when this feature is no longer experimental.
The google.appengine.api.conversion
package includes the following conversion functions:
-
create_rpc(deadline=None, callback=None)
Create remote procedure call (RPC) object for use with conversion API.
-
Arguments
-
- deadline
- Optional deadline for operation, in seconds. Default is a system-specific deadline (typically 5 seconds).
- callback
- Optional callback function to invoke on completion.
Result value
- A user RPC object (
apiproxy_stub_map.UserRPC
) specialized for this service.
-
make_convert_call(rpc, conversion)
Execute remote procedure call to do conversions. The result can then be obtained with rpc.get_result
, which in turn calls _get_convert_result
.
-
Arguments
-
- rpc
- User RPC object (
apiproxy_stub_map.UserRPC
).
- conversion_request
- Conversion object (
Conversion
) or list of such objects.
Exception
-
- TypeError
- Conversion has wrong type.
