def include.genpy.base.is_simple

(

type_

)

:returns: ``True`` if type is a 'simple' type, i.e. is of
  fixed/known serialization length. This is effectively all primitive
  types except for string, ``bool``

Initial value:

{ #see python module struct
    'int8': 'b', 
    'uint8': 'B',
    # Python 2.6 adds in '?' for C99 _Bool, which appears equivalent to an uint8,
    # thus, we use uint8
    'bool': 'B',    
    'int16' : 'h',
    'uint16' : 'H',
    'int32' : 'i',
