The \code{code} module defines operations pertaining to Python code
|
|
|
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \code{code} module defines the following functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module code)}

\begin{funcdesc}{compile_command}{source, \optional{filename\optional{, symbol}}}

|
|
|
This function is useful for programs that want to emulate Python's
|
|
|
|
|
interpreter main loop (a.k.a. the read-eval-print loop). The tricky
|
|
|
|
|
part is to determine when the user has entered an incomplete command
|
|
|
|
|
that can be completed by entering more text (as opposed to a complete
|
|
|
|
|
command or a syntax error). This function \emph{almost} always makes
|
|
|
|
|
the same decision as the real interpreter main loop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments: \var{source} is the source string; \var{filename} is the
|
|
|
|
|
optional filename from which source was read, defaulting to
|
|
|
|
|
\code{"<input>"}; and \var{symbol} is the optional grammar start
|
|
|
|
|
symbol, which should be either \code{"single"} (the default) or
|
|
|
|
|
\code{"eval"}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return a code object (the same as \code{compile(\var{source},
|
|
|
|
|
\var{filename}, \var{symbol})}) if the command is complete and valid;
|
|
|
|
|
return \code{None} if the command is incomplete; raise
|
|
|
|
|
\code{SyntaxError} if the command is a syntax error.
