8.6.3.1 Type Mapping

The primitive 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`)
`int` | `IntegerType`
`long int` | `IntegerType`
`unsigned int` | `IntegerType`

Additionally, the `DOMString` defined in the recommendation is mapped to a Python string or Unicode string. 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.
