Class Object
An object.
Instances of this class represent objects in the Python program. However, since the QL database is static and Python programs are dynamic, there are necessarily a number of approximations.
Each point in the control flow graph where a new object can be created is treated as an object. Many builtin objects, such as integers, strings and builtin classes, are also treated as ‘objects’. Hence each ‘object’, that is an instance of this class, represents a set of actual Python objects in the actual program.
Ideally each set would contain only one member, but that is not possible in practice. Many instances of this class will represent many actual Python objects, especially if the point in the control flow graph to which they refer is in a loop. Others may not refer to any objects. However, for many important objects such as classes and functions, there is a one-to-one relation.

Predicates
asBuiltin |
INTERNAL – Do not use |
booleanValue |
Gets the Boolean value of this object if it always evaluates to true or false. For example: false for None, true for 7 and no result for int(x) |
getAnInferredType |
Gets an inferred type for this object, without using inter-procedural analysis. WARNING: The lack of context makes this less accurate than f.refersTo(this, result, _) for a control flow node ‘f’ |
getOrigin |
Gets the point in the source code from which this object “originates”. |
hasLocationInfo |
Holds if this element is at the specified location. The location spans column |
hasLongName |
Holds if this object can be referred to by |
isBuiltin |
Whether this is a builtin object. A builtin object is one defined by the implementation, such as the integer 4 or by a native extension, such as a NumPy array class. |
isC |
Retained for backwards compatibility. See Object.isBuiltin() |
maybe | |
notClass | |
overrides |
Whether this overrides o. In this context, “overrides” means that this object is a named attribute of a some class C and |
simpleClass |
Gets the class of this object for simple cases, namely constants, functions, comprehensions and built-in objects. |
toString |
Gets a textual representation of this element. |
