8.6.3.1 Type Mapping
The primitive IDL types used in the DOM specification are mapped to Python types according to the following table.
| IDL Type | Python Type |
|---|---|
boolean |
IntegerType (with a value of 0 or 1) |
int |
IntegerType |
long int |
IntegerType |
unsigned int |
IntegerType |
Additionally, the DOMString defined in the recommendation is mapped to a Python string or Unicode string. Applications should be able to handle Unicode whenever a string is returned from the DOM.
The IDL null value is mapped to None, which may be
accepted or provided by the implementation whenever null is
allowed by the API.
