Client-Side Slice-to-Python Mapping

22.1 Chapter Overview

In this chapter, we present the client-side Slice-to-Python mapping (see Chapter 24 for the server-side mapping). One part of the client-side Python mapping concerns itself with rules for representing each Slice data type as a corresponding Python type; we cover these rules in Section 22.3 to Section 22.10. Another part of the mapping deals with how clients can invoke operations, pass and receive parameters, and handle exceptions. These topics are covered in Section 22.11 to Section 22.13. Slice classes have the characteristics of both data types and interfaces and are covered in Section 22.14. Code generation issues are discussed in Section 22.15, while Section 22.16 addresses the use of Slice checksums.
