class httk.core.datastream.textstream_filename_view.TextstreamFilenameView(obj: httk.core.datastream.textstream_like.TextstreamLike, **hints: Any)

Bases: httk.core.datastream.textstream_view.TextstreamView, str

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

Raises TypeError if created with a streaming data source that do not come with a name, in the future we may consider creating a temporary file to place the data in.

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.
