pydicom.sequence.Sequence

class pydicom.sequence.Sequence(iterable: Optional[Iterable[pydicom.dataset.Dataset]] = None)

Class to hold multiple Dataset in a list.

This class is derived from MultiValue and as such enforces that all items added to the list are Dataset instances. In order to do this, a validator is substituted for type_constructor when constructing the MultiValue super class.

__init__(iterable: Optional[Iterable[pydicom.dataset.Dataset]] = None) → None

Initialize a list of Dataset.

Parameters

iterable (list-like of dataset.Dataset, optional) – An iterable object (e.g. list, tuple) containing Dataset. If not used then an empty Sequence is generated.

Methods

__init__([iterable])	Initialize a list of Dataset.
append(val)	Append a Dataset to the sequence.
clear()
count(value)
extend(val)	Extend the Sequence using an iterable of Dataset instances.
index(value, [start, [stop]])	Raises ValueError if the value is not present.
insert(position, val)	Insert a Dataset into the sequence.
pop([index])	Raise IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.
remove(value)	S.remove(value) – remove first occurrence of value.
reverse()	S.reverse() – reverse IN PLACE
sort([key, reverse])

Attributes

parent

Return a weak reference to the parent Dataset.

append(val: pydicom.dataset.Dataset) → None

Append a Dataset to the sequence.

extend(val: Iterable[pydicom.dataset.Dataset]) → None

Extend the Sequence using an iterable of Dataset instances.

insert(position: int, val: pydicom.dataset.Dataset) → None

Insert a Dataset into the sequence.

property parent

Return a weak reference to the parent Dataset.

New in version 1.3.

Changed in version 1.4: Returned value is a weak reference to the parent Dataset.
