:mod:`codeop` --- Compile Python code
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: codeop
|
|
:synopsis: Compile (possibly incomplete) Python code.
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Michael Hudson <mwh@python.net>
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`codeop` module provides utilities upon which the Python
|
|
read-eval-print loop can be emulated, as is done in the :mod:`code` module. As
|
|
a result, you probably don't want to use the module directly; if you want to
|
|
include such a loop in your program you probably want to use the :mod:`code`
|
|
module instead.
|
|
|
|
There are two parts to this job:
|
|
|
|
#. Being able to tell if a line of input completes a Python statement: in
|
|
short, telling whether to print '``>>>``' or '``...``' next.
|
|
|
|
#. Remembering which future statements the user has entered, so subsequent
|
|
input can be compiled with these in effect.
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`codeop` module provides a way of doing each of these things, and a way
|
|
of doing them both.
|
|
|
|
To do just the former:
|
|
|
|
.. function:: compile_command(source[, filename[, symbol]])
|
|
|
|
Tries to compile *source*, which should be a string of Python code and return a
|
|
code object if *source* is valid Python code. In that case, the filename
|
|
attribute of the code object will be *filename*, which defaults to
|
|
``'<input>'``. Returns ``None`` if *source* is *not* valid Python code, but is a
|
|
prefix of valid Python code.
|
|
|
|
If there is a problem with *source*, an exception will be raised.
|
|
:exc:`SyntaxError` is raised if there is invalid Python syntax, and
|
|
:exc:`OverflowError` or :exc:`ValueError` if there is an invalid literal.
|
|
|
|
The *symbol* argument determines whether *source* is compiled as a statement
|
|
(``'single'``, the default) or as an :term:`expression` (``'eval'``). Any
|
|
other value will cause :exc:`ValueError` to be raised.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
It is possible (but not likely) that the parser stops parsing with a
|
|
successful outcome before reaching the end of the source; in this case,
|
|
trailing symbols may be ignored instead of causing an error. For example,
|
|
a backslash followed by two newlines may be followed by arbitrary garbage.
|
|
This will be fixed once the API for the parser is better.
|

|
.. class:: Compile()
|
|
|
|
Instances of this class have :meth:`__call__` methods identical in signature to
|
|
the built-in function :func:`compile`, but with the difference that if the
|
|
instance compiles program text containing a :mod:`__future__` statement, the
|
|
instance 'remembers' and compiles all subsequent program texts with the
|
|
statement in force.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: CommandCompiler()
|
|
|
|
Instances of this class have :meth:`__call__` methods identical in signature to
|
|
:func:`compile_command`; the difference is that if the instance compiles program
|
|
text containing a ``__future__`` statement, the instance 'remembers' and
|
|
compiles all subsequent program texts with the statement in force.
