源代码： Lib/imp.py

本模块提供了一个接口，用于实现 import 语句的机制。这里定义了以下常量和函数：

imp.get_magic()¶

Return the magic string value used to recognize byte-compiled code files

(.pyc files). (This value may be different for each Python version.)

3.4 版后已移除: Use importlib.util.MAGIC_NUMBER instead.

imp.get_suffixes()¶

Return a list of 3-element tuples, each describing a particular type of

module. Each triple has the form (suffix,mode,type), where suffix is

a string to be appended to the module name to form the filename to search

for, mode is the mode string to pass to the built-in open() function

to open the file (this can be 'r' for text files or 'rb' for binary

files), and type is the file type, which has one of the values

PY_SOURCE, PY_COMPILED, or C_EXTENSION, described

below.

3.3 版后已移除: Use the constants defined on importlib.machinery instead.

imp.find_module(name[, path])¶

Try to find the module name. If path is omitted or None, the list of

directory names given by sys.path is searched, but first a few special

places are searched: the function tries to find a built-in module with the

given name (C_BUILTIN), then a frozen module (PY_FROZEN),

and on some systems some other places are looked in as well (on Windows, it

looks in the registry which may point to a specific file).

Otherwise, path must be a list of directory names; each directory is

searched for files with any of the suffixes returned by get_suffixes()

above. Invalid names in the list are silently ignored (but all list items

must be strings).

If search is successful, the return value is a 3-element tuple (file,

pathname,description):

file is an open file object positioned at the beginning, pathname

is the pathname of the file found, and description is a 3-element tuple as

contained in the list returned by get_suffixes() describing the kind of

module found.

If the module is built-in or frozen then file and pathname are both None

and the description tuple contains empty strings for its suffix and mode;

the module type is indicated as given in parentheses above. If the search

is unsuccessful, ImportError is raised. Other exceptions indicate

problems with the arguments or environment.

If the module is a package, file is None, pathname is the package

path and the last item in the description tuple is PKG_DIRECTORY.

This function does not handle hierarchical module names (names containing

dots). In order to find P.M, that is, submodule M of package P, use

find_module() and load_module() to find and load package P, and

then use find_module() with the path argument set to P.__path__.

When P itself has a dotted name, apply this recipe recursively.

3.3 版后已移除: Use importlib.util.find_spec() instead unless Python 3.3

compatibility is required, in which case use

importlib.find_loader(). For example usage of the former case,

see the 例子 section of the importlib

documentation.

imp.load_module(name, file, pathname, description)¶

Load a module that was previously found by find_module() (or by an

otherwise conducted search yielding compatible results). This function does

more than importing the module: if the module was already imported, it will

reload the module! The name argument indicates the full

module name (including the package name, if this is a submodule of a

package). The file argument is an open file, and pathname is the

corresponding file name; these can be None and '', respectively, when

the module is a package or not being loaded from a file. The description

argument is a tuple, as would be returned by get_suffixes(), describing

what kind of module must be loaded.

If the load is successful, the return value is the module object; otherwise,

an exception (usually ImportError) is raised.

Important: the caller is responsible for closing the file argument, if

it was not None, even when an exception is raised. This is best done

using a try ... finally statement.

3.3 版后已移除: If previously used in conjunction with imp.find_module() then

consider using importlib.import_module(), otherwise use the loader

returned by the replacement you chose for imp.find_module(). If you

called imp.load_module() and related functions directly with file

path arguments then use a combination of

importlib.util.spec_from_file_location() and

importlib.util.module_from_spec(). See the 例子

section of the importlib documentation for details of the various

approaches.

imp.new_module(name)¶

Return a new empty module object called name. This object is not inserted

in sys.modules.

3.4 版后已移除: Use importlib.util.module_from_spec() instead.

imp.reload(module)¶

Reload a previously imported module. The argument must be a module object, so

it must have been successfully imported before. This is useful if you have

edited the module source file using an external editor and want to try out the

new version without leaving the Python interpreter. The return value is the

module object (the same as the module argument).

When reload(module) is executed:

• Python modules' code is recompiled and the module-level code reexecuted,

  defining a new set of objects which are bound to names in the module's

  dictionary. The init function of extension modules is not called a second

  time.

• 与Python中的所有的其它对象一样，旧的对象只有在它们的引用计数为0之后才会被回收。

• 模块命名空间中的名称重新指向任何新的或更改后的对象。

• 其他旧对象的引用（例如那个模块的外部名称）不会被重新绑定到引用的新对象的，并且如果有需要，必须在出现的每个命名空间中进行更新。

有一些其他注意事项：

当一个模块被重新加载的时候，它的字典（包含了那个模块的全区变量）会被保留。名称的重新定义会覆盖旧的定义，所以通常来说这不是问题。如果一个新模块没有定义在旧版本模块中定义的名称，则将保留旧版本中的定义。这一特性可用于作为那个模块的优点，如果它维护一个全局表或者对象的缓存 —— 使用 try 语句，就可以测试表的存在并且跳过它的初始化，如果有需要的话:

python3 notranslate">

try:
cache
exceptNameError:
cache={}

It is legal though generally not very useful to reload built-in or dynamically

loaded modules, except for sys, __main__ and builtins.

In many cases, however, extension modules are not designed to be initialized

more than once, and may fail in arbitrary ways when reloaded.

If a module imports objects from another module using from ...

import ..., calling reload() for the other module does not

redefine the objects imported from it --- one way around this is to re-execute

the from statement, another is to use import and qualified

names (module.*name*) instead.

如果一个模块创建一个类的实例，重新加载定义那个类的模块不影响那些实例的方法定义———它们继续使用旧类中的定义。对于子类来说同样是正确的。

在 3.3 版更改: Relies on both __name__ and __loader__ being defined on the module

being reloaded instead of just __name__.

3.4 版后已移除: Use importlib.reload() instead.

The following functions are conveniences for handling PEP 3147 byte-compiled

file paths.

imp.cache_from_source(path, debug_override=None)¶

Return the PEP 3147 path to the byte-compiled file associated with the

source path. For example, if path is /foo/bar/baz.py the return

value would be /foo/bar/__pycache__/baz.cpython-32.pyc for Python 3.2.

The cpython-32 string comes from the current magic tag (see

get_tag(); if sys.implementation.cache_tag is not defined then

NotImplementedError will be raised). By passing in True or

False for debug_override you can override the system's value for

__debug__, leading to optimized bytecode.

path need not exist.

在 3.3 版更改: If sys.implementation.cache_tag is None, then

NotImplementedError is raised.

3.4 版后已移除: Use importlib.util.cache_from_source() instead.

在 3.5 版更改: The debug_override parameter no longer creates a .pyo file.

imp.source_from_cache(path)¶

Given the path to a PEP 3147 file name, return the associated source code

file path. For example, if path is

/foo/bar/__pycache__/baz.cpython-32.pyc the returned path would be

/foo/bar/baz.py. path need not exist, however if it does not conform

to PEP 3147 format, a ValueError is raised. If

sys.implementation.cache_tag is not defined,

NotImplementedError is raised.

在 3.3 版更改: Raise NotImplementedError when

sys.implementation.cache_tag is not defined.

3.4 版后已移除: Use importlib.util.source_from_cache() instead.

imp.get_tag()¶

Return the PEP 3147 magic tag string matching this version of Python's

magic number, as returned by get_magic().

3.4 版后已移除: Use sys.implementation.cache_tag directly starting

in Python 3.3.

The following functions help interact with the import system's internal

locking mechanism. Locking semantics of imports are an implementation

detail which may vary from release to release. However, Python ensures

that circular imports work without any deadlocks.

imp.lock_held()¶

Return True if the global import lock is currently held, else

False. On platforms without threads, always return False.

On platforms with threads, a thread executing an import first holds a

global import lock, then sets up a per-module lock for the rest of the

import. This blocks other threads from importing the same module until

the original import completes, preventing other threads from seeing

incomplete module objects constructed by the original thread. An

exception is made for circular imports, which by construction have to

expose an incomplete module object at some point.

在 3.3 版更改: The locking scheme has changed to per-module locks for

the most part. A global import lock is kept for some critical tasks,

such as initializing the per-module locks.

3.4 版后已移除.

imp.acquire_lock()¶

Acquire the interpreter's global import lock for the current thread.

This lock should be used by import hooks to ensure thread-safety when

importing modules.

Once a thread has acquired the import lock, the same thread may acquire it

again without blocking; the thread must release it once for each time it has

acquired it.

On platforms without threads, this function does nothing.

在 3.3 版更改: The locking scheme has changed to per-module locks for

the most part. A global import lock is kept for some critical tasks,

such as initializing the per-module locks.

3.4 版后已移除.

imp.release_lock()¶

Release the interpreter's global import lock. On platforms without

threads, this function does nothing.

在 3.3 版更改: The locking scheme has changed to per-module locks for

the most part. A global import lock is kept for some critical tasks,

such as initializing the per-module locks.

3.4 版后已移除.

The following constants with integer values, defined in this module, are used

to indicate the search result of find_module().

imp.PY_SOURCE¶

The module was found as a source file.

3.3 版后已移除.

imp.PY_COMPILED¶

The module was found as a compiled code object file.

3.3 版后已移除.

imp.C_EXTENSION¶

The module was found as dynamically loadable shared library.

3.3 版后已移除.

imp.PKG_DIRECTORY¶

The module was found as a package directory.

3.3 版后已移除.

imp.C_BUILTIN¶

The module was found as a built-in module.

3.3 版后已移除.

imp.PY_FROZEN¶

The module was found as a frozen module.

3.3 版后已移除.

class imp.NullImporter(path_string)¶

The NullImporter type is a PEP 302 import hook that handles

non-directory path strings by failing to find any modules. Calling this type

with an existing directory or empty string raises ImportError.

Otherwise, a NullImporter instance is returned.

Instances have only one method:

find_module(fullname[, path])¶

This method always returns None, indicating that the requested module could

not be found.

在 3.3 版更改: None is inserted into sys.path_importer_cache instead of an

instance of NullImporter.

3.4 版后已移除: Insert None into sys.path_importer_cache instead.
