ubelt.util_const moduleΒΆ

This module defines ub.NoParam. This is a robust sentinel value that can act like None when None might be a valid value. The value of NoParam is robust to reloading, pickling, and copying (i.e. var is ub.NoParam will return True after these operations)

Example

>>> import ubelt as ub
>>> def func(a=ub.NoParam):
>>>     if a is ub.NoParam:
>>>         print('no param specified')
>>>     else:
>>>         print('a = {}'.format(a))
>>> func()
no param specified
>>> func(a=None)
a = None
>>> func(a=1)
a = 1
>>> # note: typically it is bad practice to use NoParam as an actual
>>> # (non-default) parameter. It goes against the sprit of the idea.
>>> func(a=ub.NoParam)
no param specified
