getattribute(...)

x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

Overrides: object.__getattribute__

init()
(Constructor)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Returns: new empty set object
Overrides: object.__init__

new(T, S, ...)

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

reduce(...)

Return state information for pickling.

Overrides: object.__reduce__

repr(x)
(Representation operator)

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__

sizeof(S)

Returns: size of S in memory, in bytes
Overrides: object.__sizeof__

add(...)

Add an element to a set.

This has no effect if the element is already present.

difference(...)

Return the difference of two or more sets as a new set.

(i.e. all elements that are in this set but not the others.)

discard(...)

Remove an element from a set if it is a member.

If the element is not a member, do nothing.

intersection(...)

Return the intersection of two or more sets as a new set.

(i.e. elements that are common to all of the sets.)

pop(...)

Remove and return an arbitrary set element. Raises KeyError if the set is empty.

remove(...)

Remove an element from a set; it must be a member.

If the element is not a member, raise a KeyError.

symmetric_difference(...)

Return the symmetric difference of two sets as a new set.

(i.e. all elements that are in exactly one of the sets.)

union(...)

Return the union of sets as a new set.

(i.e. all elements that are in either set.)
