Brett Cannon c264e3ee20 Move some code from importlib.__init__ to importlib._bootstrap that
does not need to be exposed from C code for bootstrapping reasons.

Antoine Pitrou 5136ac0ca2 Issue #13645: pyc files now contain the size of the corresponding source
code, to avoid timestamp collisions (especially on filesystems with a low
timestamp resolution) when checking for freshness of the bytecode.

Brett Cannon 8d18907a2e While not strictly necessary thanks to the odd ABC inheritance done through
importlib._bootstrap, add the optional methods for importlib.abc.SourceLoader
for completeness.

Brett Cannon 61b14251d3 Make importlib.abc.SourceLoader the primary mechanism for importlib.
This required moving the class from importlib/abc.py into
importlib/_bootstrap.py and jiggering some code to work better with the class.
This included changing how the file finder worked to better meet import
semantics. This also led to fixing importlib to handle the empty string from
sys.path as import currently does (and making me wish we didn't support that
instead just required people to insert '.' instead to represent cwd).

It also required making the new set_data abstractmethod create
any needed subdirectories implicitly thanks to __pycache__ (it was either this
or grow the SourceLoader ABC to gain an 'exists' method and either a mkdir
method or have set_data with no data arg mean to create a directory).

Lastly, as an optimization the file loaders cache the file path where the
finder found something to use for loading (this is thanks to having a
sourceless loader separate from the source loader to simplify the code and
cut out stat calls).
Unfortunately test_runpy assumed a loader would always work for a module, even
if you changed from underneath it what it was expected to work with. By simply
dropping the previous loader in test_runpy so the proper loader can be returned
by the finder fixed the failure.

At this point importlib deviates from import on two points:

1. The exception raised when trying to import a file is different (import does
an explicit file check to print a special message, importlib just says the path
cannot be imported as if it was just some module name).

2. the co_filename on a code object is not being set to where bytecode was
actually loaded from instead of where the marshalled code object originally
came from (a solution for this has already been agreed upon on python-dev but has
not been implemented yet; issue8611).

Brett Cannon 0cf9e6a621 Move importlib.abc.SourceLoader to _bootstrap.
Required updating code relying on other modules to switch to _bootstrap's
unique module requirements. This led to the realization that
get_code was being too liberal in its exception catching when calling set_data
by blindly grabbing IOError. Shifted the responsibility of safely ignoring
writes to a read-only path to set_data.

Importlib is still not relying on SourceLoader yet; requires creating a
SourcelessLoader and updating the source finder.

Brett Cannon f23e374441 Implement importlib.abc.SourceLoader and deprecate PyLoader and PyPycLoader.
SourceLoader is a simplification of both PyLoader and PyPycLoader. If one only
wants to use source, then they need to only implement get_data and
get_filename. To also use bytecode -- sourceless loading is not supported --
then two abstract methods -- path_mtime and set_data -- need to be implemented.
Compared to PyLoader and PyPycLoader, there are less abstract methods
introduced and bytecode files become an optimization controlled by the ABC and
hidden from the user (this need came about as PEP 3147 showed that not treating
bytecode as an optimization can cause problems for compatibility).

PyLoader is deprecated in favor of SourceLoader. To be compatible from Python
3.1 onwards, a subclass need only use simple methods for source_path and
is_package. Otherwise conditional subclassing based on whether Python 3.1 or
Python 3.2 is being is the only change. The documentation and docstring for
PyLoader explain what is exactly needed.

PyPycLoader is deprecated also in favor of SourceLoader. Because PEP 3147
shifted bytecode path details so much, there is no foolproof way to provide
backwards-compatibility with SourceLoader. Because of this the class is simply
deprecated and users should move to SourceLoader (and optionally PyLoader for
Python 3.1). This does lead to a loss of support for sourceless loading
unfortunately.

At some point before Python 3.2 is released, SourceLoader will be moved over to
importlib._bootstrap so that the core code of importlib relies on the new code
instead of the old PyPycLoader code. This commit is being done now so that
there is no issue in having the API in Python 3.1a1.

Brett Cannon 6919427e94 Implement the PEP 302 protocol for get_filename() as
importlib.abc.ExecutionLoader. PyLoader now inherits from this ABC instead of
InspectLoader directly. Both PyLoader and PyPycLoader provide concrete
implementations of get_filename in terms of source_path and bytecode_path.

Brett Cannon 64ef00fa60 Importlib's documentation said that importlib.abc.PyLoader inherited from
importlib.abc.ResourceLoader, when in fact it did not. Fixed the ABC to inherit
as documented.

This doesn't introduce an backwards-incompatiblity as the code in PyLoader
already required the single method ResourceLoader defined as an abstract
method.

Brett Cannon 7aa21f75c1 A few more docstring/API cleanups for importlib. 2009-03-15 00:53:05 +00:00
Brett Cannon 2a922ed6ad Introduce importlib.abc. The module contains various ABCs related to imports
(mostly stuff specified by PEP 302). There are two ABCs, PyLoader and
PyPycLoader, which help with implementing source and source/bytecode loaders by
implementing load_module in terms of other methods. This removes a lot of
gritty details loaders typically have to worry about.
