cfdm.TODO

class cfdm.Container(source=None, copy=True)[source]

Bases: Container, Container

Abstract base class for storing components.

Added in version (cfdm): 1.8.7.0

Initialisation

Parameters:
source: optional

Convert source, which can be any type of object, to a Container instance.

All other parameters, apart from copy, are ignored and their values are instead inferred from source by assuming that it has the Container API. Any parameters that can not be retrieved from source in this way are assumed to have their default value.

Note that if x is also a Container instance then cfdm.Container(source=x) is equivalent to x.copy().

copy: bool, optional

If True (the default) then deep copy the input parameters prior to initialisation. By default the parameters are not deep copied.
