__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

__init__(*args, **kwargs)	Initialize self.
clone(object)	Clone an object by first serializing it, then deserializing it again.

The membership flag

static serializeSystem(object) → std::string

This method exists only for backward compatibility.

Deprecated

Use serialize() instead.

static deserializeSystem(inputString) → System

This method exists only for backward compatibility.

Deprecated

Use deserialize() instead.

static serialize(object)

Serialize an object as XML.

static deserialize(inputString)

Reconstruct an object that has been serialized as XML.

static clone(object)

Clone an object by first serializing it, then deserializing it again. This method constructs the new object directly from the SerializationNodes without first converting them to XML. This means it is faster and uses less memory than making separate calls to serialize() and deserialize().
