cf.relaxed_identities

cf.relaxed_identities(*arg)[source]

Use ‘relaxed’ mode when getting a construct identity.

If set to True, sets relaxed=True as the default in calls to a construct’s identity method (e.g. cf.Field.identity).

This is used by construct arithmetic and field construct aggregation.

Parameters

bool

The value prior to the change, or the current value if no new value was specified.

>>> org = cf.relaxed_identities()
>>> org
False
>>> cf.relaxed_identities(True)

>>> cf.relaxed_identities()
True
>>> cf.relaxed_identities(org)
True
>>> cf.relaxed_identities()
False
