61The primitive IDL types used in the DOM specification are mapped to
62Python types according to the following table.
63
64<P>
65<div class="center"><table class="realtable">
66 <thead>
67 <tr>
68 <th class="left" >IDL Type</th>
69 <th class="left" >Python Type</th>
70 </tr>
71 </thead>
72 <tbody>
73 <tr><td class="left" valign="baseline"><code>boolean</code></td>
74 <td class="left" ><code>IntegerType</code> (with a value of <code>0</code> or <code>1</code>)</td></tr>
75 <tr><td class="left" valign="baseline"><code>int</code></td>
76 <td class="left" ><code>IntegerType</code></td></tr>
77 <tr><td class="left" valign="baseline"><code>long int</code></td>
78 <td class="left" ><code>IntegerType</code></td></tr>
79 <tr><td class="left" valign="baseline"><code>unsigned int</code></td>
80 <td class="left" ><code>IntegerType</code></td></tr></tbody>
81</table></div>
82
83<P>
84Additionally, the <tt class="class">DOMString</tt> defined in the recommendation is
85mapped to a Python string or Unicode string. Applications should
86be able to handle Unicode whenever a string is returned from the DOM.
87
88<P>
89The IDL <tt class="keyword">null</tt> value is mapped to <code>None</code>, which may be
90accepted or provided by the implementation whenever <tt class="keyword">null</tt> is
91allowed by the API.
