class AnnotationIdentifier(annotation_type, name=None)
Used to identify annotations. In case there are multiple annotations of the same type you’ll be able

to differentiate them through their name. For backwards compatibility reasons, a name with some annotation_type T and name None is equal to the type T, also having the same hash.

Parameters:
annotation_type

The annotation type

name

The name of the annotation

static resolve_annotation_identifier(available_annotation_identifiers, annotation_type=None, annotation_identifier=None, name=None)
Resolves the given arguments into a valid annotation identifier, throws a ValueError if that’s not possible.

This method is used to be backwards compatible in most cases: Specifying the annotation_type is enough to resolve an identifier, unless there are multiple identifiers of the same annotation type in available_annotation_identifiers. Either annotation_type or annotation_identifier has to be not None.

Parameters:
Return type:

AnnotationIdentifier

Returns:

The resolved annotation identifier.
