source: /traitlets/traitlets.py:3431
Signature
def __init__(self, trait: t.Any | None = None, default_value: t.Any = traitlets.Undefined, help: str | None = None, read_only: bool | None = None, config: t.Any | None = None, **kwargs: t.Any) → NoneSummary
Create a container trait type from a list, set, or tuple.
Extended Summary
The default value is created by doing List(default_value), which creates a copy of the default_value.
trait can be specified, which restricts the type of elements in the container to that TraitType.
If only one arg is given and it is not a Trait, it is taken as default_value:
c = List([1, 2, 3])
Parameters
trait: TraitType [ optional ]the type for restricting the contents of the Container. If unspecified, types are not checked.
default_value: SequenceType [ optional ]The default value for the Trait. Must be list/tuple/set, and will be cast to the container type.
allow_none: bool [ default False ]Whether to allow the value to be None
**kwargs: anyfurther keys for extensions to the Trait (e.g. config)
