dimod.serialization.fileview.FileView

class FileView(bqm, version=(1, 0), ignore_labels=False)

A seekable, readable view into a binary quadratic model.

Parameters

• bqm (BQM) – The binary quadratic model.

• version (int/tuple, default=1) – The serialization version to use. Either as an integer defining the major version, or as a tuple, (major, minor).

• ignore_labels (bool, default=False) – Treat the BQM as unlabelled. This is useful for large BQMs to save on space. ignore_labels=True is only supported in version 2.0+, trying to set it with version 1.x will raise a ValueError.

Note

Currently the BQM is not locked while the file view is open, in the future this will change.

__init__(bqm, version=(1, 0), ignore_labels=False)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

__init__(bqm[, version, ignore_labels])	Initialize self.
close()	Close the file view.
fileno()	Returns underlying file descriptor if one exists.
flush()	Flush write buffers, if applicable.
isatty()	Return whether this is an ‘interactive’ stream.
read([size])
readable()	Return whether object was opened for reading.
readall()	Read until EOF, using multiple read() call.
readinto(buff)	Read bytes into a pre-allocated, writable bytes-like object.
readinto1(buff)	Read bytes into a pre-allocated, writable bytes-like object.
readline([size])	Read and return a line from the stream.
readlines([hint])	Return a list of lines from the stream.
seek(offset[, whence])	Change the stream position to the given offset.
seekable()	Return whether object supports random access.
tell()	Return current stream position.
truncate	Truncate file to size bytes.
writable()	Return whether object was opened for writing.
write
writelines(lines, /)	Write a list of lines to stream.
