class httk.core.datastream.bytestream_filename_view.BytestreamFilenameView(obj: httk.core.datastream.bytestream_like.BytestreamLike, **hints: Any)

Bases: httk.core.datastream.bytestream_view.BytestreamView, str

A view presenting an underlying data streaming backend via a filename. This view is mostly useful for providing filenames to functions that will open them. Note: this view is not lazy (this is impossible for views inheriting str, since str is immutable).

Raises TypeError if created with a streaming data source that does not come with a name.

unwrap() → Any

Return the most raw representation possible of this view, i.e., if it uses a backend with an internal representaion - or if it can (possibly lossly) convert itself into a more raw representation that still would be recognized as a <Something>Like type, that representation will be returned. If this is not possible, the instance itself is returned.
