Otherwise, it returns None.` getConnectionPort(self) `Returns the inet port that the connection is communicating over.

Functions
`` |  | getNumericFieldsAsNumbers() `Instructs the API to return numeric fields as numbers. Integer fields will be returned as integers and floating point fields will be returned as Decimals if that class is avialable or floats otherwise. The drawback to using numerics is that under some circumstances truncation can occur.` getNumericFieldsAsStrings() `Instructs the API to return numeric fields as strings. This is the default setting. Truncation cannot occur if this setting is used.`
