The class contains the following methods:

• __init__

• getcontents
• __str__
• __repr__
• append
• __add__
• __delitem__
• extend
• count
• index
• inset
• pop
• remove
• reverse
• sort
• __contains__
• __iter__
• __eq__
• __ne__
• __gt__
• __ge__
• __lt__
• __le__

Members

All of the names of the above methods are added to __reserved__ from [PStorBaseObject] except for __init__ (though this may be an error).

__init__( connection, key )

• creates a reference object that refers to a mutable object in the persistent storage system.
