element: None, dict, or Element

the element which this ElementHaver “has”.

__eq__(v)

return self==v. Equal if:

- v is an instance of type(self), and

all kw from both self._kw_eq and v._kw_eq have the same values.

(any kw missing attrs will be treated as UNSET.)

For DimensionValue, just compares self.s==v.s and self.i==v.i.

Subclasses may add more kwargs to compare by altering _kw_def.

- or, self.s == v or self.i == v, and v is not another DimensionValue

- or, v is a DimensionSingleValueSpecifier and v.checker(self) gives True.

Not equal if v is a DimensionValue but not an instance of type(self),

e.g. class Fluid(DimensionValue):…; class Snap(DimensionValue):…;

Fluid(‘H’, 0) != Snap(‘H’, 0).

classmethod __init_subclass__(*, _serial_typename=None, **kw)

register cls as a subclass of XarrayIoSerializable.

_serial_typename: None or str

name to use for this type, for serialization purposes.

None –> use cls.__name__.

This method also sets cls._serial_typename = _serial_typename.

_repr_contents()

contents used by self.__repr__

_repr_simple()

return simple repr for self: Classname(s, i).

if s is None, use Classname(i) instead.

if i is None, use Classname(s, i=None) instead.

Called when using PlasmaCalcs.tools.repr_simple.

copy(**kw_init)

return a copy of self. Can provide new kwargs here to override old values in result.

E.g. self.copy(i=7) makes a copy of self but with i=7 instead of self.i.

static deserialize(serial)

creates an XarrayIoSerializable object from a serialized representation.

serial: dict or str

str –> convert to dict via ast.literal_eval.

dict must contain ‘typename’ key.

The output here will be an instance of XarrayIoSerializable.SERIAL_TYPES[typename]

element_cls

alias of Element

equal_except_i(v)

returns whether self == v (another DimensionValue), ignoring i.

equal if v is an instance of type(self) and

all kw from both self._kw_eq and v._kw_eq have the same values.

(any kw missing attrs will be treated as UNSET.)

For DimensionValue: self.s==v.s and self.i==v.i. Subclasses may add more.

classmethod from_dict(d)

return cls from dict d.

If ‘d’ contains ‘typename’, result is like cls.deserialize(d) instead,

however, first require that result is an instance of cls (or subclass of cls).

E.g. Fluid.from_dict(dict(typename=’EppicDist’, …)) returns EppicDist,

but Snap.from_dict(dict(typename=’EppicDist’, …)) crashes with InputError.

Subclasses wishing to alter deserialize behavior will probably override this method instead.

property get_I

alias to neutral

property get_II

alias to ion

get_element(default=NO_VALUE)

return self.element if it exists and is not None, else crash with FluidKeyError.

default: NO_VALUE or any value.

If provided, when element missing or None, return default instead of crash.

get_elements(default=NO_VALUE)

return list of elements in self.

The implementation here just returns [self.get_element(default=default)].

ion(q=1, **kw_specie)

return ionized Specie of self.get_element()

q: charge in elementary charge units. (default: +1)

is_charged()

tells whether self is a charged fluid. i.e. self.q != 0.

if self.q is None, returns None instead of bool.

is_electron()

tells whether self is an electron. i.e. self.q < 0.

if self.q is None, returns None instead of bool.

is_ion()

tells whether self is an ion. i.e. self.q > 0.

if self.q is None, returns None instead of bool.

is_neutral()

tells whether self is a neutral fluid. i.e. self.q == 0.

if self.q is None, returns None instead of bool.

lookup_dict()

returns dict for looking up self within a DimensionValueList, given int, str, or self.

(used by DimensionValueList.lookup_dict)

property name

alias to s

neutral(**kw_specie)

return neutral Specie of self.get_element().

static register_type(cls_to_register, _serial_typename=None)

register cls_to_register as a serializable subclass of XarrayIoSerializable.

_serial_typename: str or None

name to use for serialization. if None, use cls_to_register.__name__.

saha_list(*, istart=0, **kw_specie)

return SpecieList of neutral & once-ionized ions of self.get_element().

istart: start index for the SpecieList. Index affects conversion to int.

serialize()

return dict of info about self, including ‘typename’ key.

specie_cls

alias of Specie

specie_list_cls

alias of SpecieList

to_dict(*, element_to_dict=True)

return dictionary of info about self. Attribute values for keys in self._kw_def.

e.g. if _kw_def={‘name’, ‘i’, ‘m’}, then result = {‘name’: self.name, ‘i’: self.i, ‘m’: self.m}

element_to_dict: bool, default True

whether to also convert result[‘element’].to_dict() too, if non-None ‘element’ in result.

with_i(i)

return copy of self with i=i, or self if self.i==i already.
