"""New import scheme with package support.
|
|
|
|
Quick Reference
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
- To enable package support, execute "import ni" before importing any
|
|
packages. Importing this module automatically installs the relevant
|
|
import hooks.
|
|
|
|
- To create a package named spam containing sub-modules ham, bacon and
|
|
eggs, create a directory spam somewhere on Python's module search
|
|
path (i.e. spam's parent directory must be one of the directories in
|
|
sys.path or $PYTHONPATH); then create files ham.py, bacon.py and
|
|
eggs.py inside spam.
|
|
|
|
- To import module ham from package spam and use function hamneggs()
|
|
from that module, you can either do
|
|
|
|
import spam.ham # *not* "import spam" !!!
|
|
spam.ham.hamneggs()
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
from spam import ham
|
|
ham.hamneggs()
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
from spam.ham import hamneggs
|
|
hamneggs()
|
|
|
|
- Importing just "spam" does not do what you expect: it creates an
|
|
empty package named spam if one does not already exist, but it does
|
|
not import spam's submodules. The only submodule that is guaranteed
|
|
to be imported is spam.__init__, if it exists. Note that
|
|
spam.__init__ is a submodule of package spam. It can reference to
|
|
spam's namespace via the '__.' prefix, for instance
|
|
|
|
__.spam_inited = 1 # Set a package-level variable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Theory of Operation
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
A Package is a module that can contain other modules. Packages can be
|
|
nested. Package introduce dotted names for modules, like P.Q.M, which
|
|
could correspond to a file P/Q/M.py found somewhere on sys.path. It
|
|
is possible to import a package itself, though this makes little sense
|
|
unless the package contains a module called __init__.
|
|
|
|
A package has two variables that control the namespace used for
|
|
packages and modules, both initialized to sensible defaults the first
|
|
time the package is referenced.
|
|
|
|
(1) A package's *module search path*, contained in the per-package
|
|
variable __path__, defines a list of *directories* where submodules or
|
|
subpackages of the package are searched. It is initialized to the
|
|
directory containing the package. Setting this variable to None makes
|
|
the module search path default to sys.path (this is not quite the same
|
|
as setting it to sys.path, since the latter won't track later
|
|
assignments to sys.path).
|
|
|
|
(2) A package's *import domain*, contained in the per-package variable
|
|
__domain__, defines a list of *packages* that are searched (using
|
|
their respective module search paths) to satisfy imports. It is
|
|
initialized to the list cosisting of the package itself, its parent
|
|
package, its parent's parent, and so on, ending with the root package
|
|
(the nameless package containing all top-level packages and modules,
|
|
whose module search path is None, implying sys.path).
|
|
|
|
The default domain implements a search algorithm called "expanding
|
|
search". An alternative search algorithm called "explicit search"
|
|
fixes the import search path to contain only the root package,
|
|
requiring the modules in the package to name all imported modules by
|
|
their full name. The convention of using '__' to refer to the current
|
|
package (both as a per-module variable and in module names) can be
|
|
used by packages using explicit search to refer to modules in the same
|
|
package; this combination is known as "explicit-relative search".
|
|
|
|
The PackageImporter and PackageLoader classes together implement the
|
|
following policies:
|
|
|
|
- There is a root package, whose name is ''. It cannot be imported
|
|
directly but may be referenced, e.g. by using '__' from a top-level
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
- In each module or package, the variable '__' contains a reference to
|
|
the parent package; in the root package, '__' points to itself.
|
|
|
|
- In the name for imported modules (e.g. M in "import M" or "from M
|
|
import ..."), a leading '__' refers to the current package (i.e.
|
|
the package containing the current module); leading '__.__' and so
|
|
on refer to the current package's parent, and so on. The use of
|
|
'__' elsewhere in the module name is not supported.
|
|
|
|
- Modules are searched using the "expanding search" algorithm by
|
|
virtue of the default value for __domain__.
|
|
|
|
- If A.B.C is imported, A is searched using __domain__; then
|
|
subpackage B is searched in A using its __path__, and so on.
|
|
|
|
- Built-in modules have priority: even if a file sys.py exists in a
|
|
package, "import sys" imports the built-in sys module.
|
|
|
|
- The same holds for frozen modules, for better or for worse.
|
|
|
|
- Submodules and subpackages are not automatically loaded when their
|
|
parent packages is loaded.
|
|
|
|
- The construct "from package import *" is illegal. (It can still be
|
|
used to import names from a module.)
|
|
|
|
- When "from package import module1, module2, ..." is used, those
|
|
modules are explicitly loaded.
|
|
|
|
- When a package is loaded, if it has a submodule __init__, that
|
|
module is loaded. This is the place where required submodules can
|
|
be loaded, the __path__ variable extended, etc. The __init__ module
|
|
is loaded even if the package was loaded only in order to create a
|
|
stub for a sub-package: if "import P.Q.R" is the first reference to
|
|
P, and P has a submodule __init__, P.__init__ is loaded before P.Q
|
|
is even searched.
|
|
|
|
Caveats:
|
|
|
|
- It is possible to import a package that has no __init__ submodule;
|
|
this is not particularly useful but there may be useful applications
|
|
for it (e.g. to manipulate its search paths from the outside!).
|
|
|
|
- There are no special provisions for os.chdir(). If you plan to use
|
|
os.chdir() before you have imported all your modules, it is better
|
|
not to have relative pathnames in sys.path. (This could actually be
|
|
fixed by changing the implementation of path_join() in the hook to
|
|
absolutize paths.)
|
|
|
|
- Packages and modules are introduced in sys.modules as soon as their
|
|
loading is started. When the loading is terminated by an exception,
|
|
the sys.modules entries remain around.
|
|
|
|
- There are no special measures to support mutually recursive modules,
|
|
but it will work under the same conditions where it works in the
|
|
flat module space system.
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes dummy entries (whose value is None) are entered in
|
|
sys.modules, to indicate that a particular module does not exist --
|
|
this is done to speed up the expanding search algorithm when a
|
|
module residing at a higher level is repeatedly imported (Python
|
|
promises that importing a previously imported module is cheap!)
|
|
|
|
- Although dynamically loaded extensions are allowed inside packages,
|
|
the current implementation (hardcoded in the interpreter) of their
|
|
initialization may cause problems if an extension invokes the
|
|
interpreter during its initialization.
|
|
|
|
- reload() may find another version of the module only if it occurs on
|
|
the package search path. Thus, it keeps the connection to the
|
|
package to which the module belongs, but may find a different file.
