cf.FieldList

class cf.FieldList(fields=None)

Bases: cf.field.Field, list

An ordered sequence of fields.

Each element of a field list is a cf.Field object.

A field list supports the python list-like operations (such as indexing and methods like append), but not the python list arithmetic and comparison behaviours. Any field list arithmetic and comparison operation is applied independently to each field element, so all of the operators defined for a field are allowed.

Initialization

Parameters:

fields: (sequence of) cf.Field, optional

Create a new field list with these fields.

Examples:

>>> fl = cf.FieldList()
>>> len(fl)
0
>>> f
<CF Field: air_temperature() K>
>>> fl = cf.FieldList(f)
>>> len(fl
1
>>> fl = cf.FieldList([f, f])
>>> len(fl)
2
>>> fl = cf.FieldList(cf.FieldList([f] * 3))
>>> len(fl)
3

List-like operations

These methods provide functionality similar to that of a built-in list.

append	L.append(object) – append object to end
count	L.count(value) – return number of occurrences of value
extend	L.extend(iterable) – extend list by appending elements from the iterable
index	L.index(value, [start, [stop]]) – return first index of value.
insert	L.insert(index, object) – insert object before index
pop	Raises IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.
reverse	L.reverse() – reverse IN PLACE
sort	L.sort(cmp=None, key=None, reverse=False) – stable sort IN PLACE;
__contains__	Called to implement membership test operators.
__getitem__	Called to implement evaluation of f[index]
__len__
__setitem__	x.__setitem__(i, y) <==> x[i]=y

Arithmetic and comparison operations

Any arithmetic, bitwise or comparison operation is applied independently to each field element of the field list

In particular, the built-in list arithmetic and comparison operator behaviours do not apply. For example, adding 2 to a field list will add 2 to the data array of each of its fields, but the + operator will concatenate two built-in lists.
