httk.core.views.unviewing ========================= .. py:module:: httk.core.views.unviewing Functions --------- .. autoapisummary:: httk.core.views.unviewing.unview Module Contents --------------- .. py:function:: unview(obj) Shed the httk View wrapper from ``obj``, returning a plain instance of the presented type. Unlike :func:`~httk.core.views.unwrapping.unwrap`, which goes *down* to the backend's raw source representation, ``unview`` goes *sideways*: it removes the httk wrapper while keeping the presentation the view exposes. The result is not promised to be a copy — it may alias the view's (or the original input's) storage; use the target representation's normal copy operation when independent mutation is required. A non-View input is returned unchanged. Views that only adapt an interface and have no faithful standalone value raise ``TypeError``. :param obj: Value or view to shed. :return: The presented value without its httk view wrapper. :raises TypeError: If a view has no faithful standalone value.
