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.
