State update utilities module.

This module provides utilities for updating state lists with primitive values.

Functions

update_state_listprimitive(self_list: List[PrimitiveType] | None, other_list: List[PrimitiveType] | None) → List[PrimitiveType] | None

Update the state of a list of primitive values with the state of another list. This operation is meant to preserve the memory address of the list when possible. Works with lists of primitive types (float, int, str, bool) and None values.

Args:

self_list: The list to be updated
other_list: The list containing the source values

Returns:

The updated list, or None if other_list is None

Raises:

TypeError: Automatically raised by beartype if non-primitive types are detected

Note:

No copy.copy() is needed for primitive types (float, int, str, bool, None)
since they are immutable in Python. Assigning directly is safe.
