Type Mapping
^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The primitive IDL types used in the DOM specification are mapped to Python types
+The IDL types used in the DOM specification are mapped to Python types
according to the following table.
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| IDL Type | Python Type |
+==================+===========================================+
-| ``boolean`` | ``IntegerType`` (with a value of ``0`` or |
-| | ``1``) |
+| ``boolean`` | ``bool`` or ``int`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
-| ``int`` | ``IntegerType`` |
+| ``int`` | ``int`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
-| ``long int`` | ``IntegerType`` |
+| ``long int`` | ``int`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+
-| ``unsigned int`` | ``IntegerType`` |
+| ``unsigned int`` | ``int`` |
++------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+| ``DOMString`` | ``str`` or ``bytes`` |
++------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+| ``null`` | ``None`` |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+

-Additionally, the :class:`DOMString` defined in the recommendation is mapped to
-a bytes or string object. Applications should be able to handle
-Unicode whenever a string is returned from the DOM.
-
-The IDL ``null`` value is mapped to ``None``, which may be accepted or
-provided by the implementation whenever ``null`` is allowed by the API.
