dask_awkward.Scalar

dask_awkward.Scalar

class dask_awkward.Scalar(dsk, name, meta=None, dtype=None, known_value=None)[source]

Single partition Dask collection representing a lazy Scalar.

The class constructor is not intended for users. Instances of this class will be results from awkward operations.

Within dask-awkward the new_scalar_object and new_known_scalar factory functions are used for creating new instances.

Parameters

  • dsk (HighLevelGraph) –

  • name (str) –

  • meta (Any | None) –

  • dtype (DTypeLike | None) –

  • known_value (Any | None) –

Return type

None

__init__(dsk, name, meta=None, dtype=None, known_value=None)[source]
Parameters

  • dsk (HighLevelGraph) –

  • name (str) –

  • meta (Any | None) –

  • dtype (DTypeLike | None) –

  • known_value (Any | None) –

Return type

None
