literal_stringizer¶
- literal_stringizer(value)[source]¶
Convert a value to a Python literal in GML representation.
Parameters: value (object) – The value to be converted to GML representation. Returns: rep – A double-quoted Python literal representing value. Unprintable characters are replaced by XML character references. Return type: string Raises : ValueError – If value cannot be converted to GML. Notes
literal_stringizer is largely the same as repr in terms of functionality but attempts prefix unicode and bytes literals with u and b to provide better interoperability of data generated by Python 2 and Python 3.
The original value can be recovered using the networkx.readwrite.gml.literal_destringizer function.
