\modulesynopsis{Compile (possibly incomplete) Python code.}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The \module{codeop} module provides a function to compile Python code
|
||
|
|
with hints on whether it certainly complete, possible complete or
|
||
|
|
definitely incomplete. This is used by the \refmodule{code} module
|
||
|
|
and should not normally be used directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The \module{codeop} module defines the following function:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{compile_command}
|
||
|
|
{source\optional{, filename\optional{, symbol}}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Try to compile \var{source}, which should be a string of Python
|
||
|
|
code. Return a code object if \var{source} is valid
|
||
|
|
Python code. In that case, the filename attribute of the code object
|
||
|
|
will be \var{filename}, which defaults to \code{'<input>'}.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Return \code{None} if \var{source} is \emph{not} valid Python
|
||
|
|
code, but is a prefix of valid Python code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Raise an exception if there is a problem with \var{source}:
|
||
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
||
|
|
\item \exception{SyntaxError}
|
||
|
|
if there is invalid Python syntax.
|
||
|
|
\item \exception{OverflowError}
|
||
|
|
if there is an invalid numeric constant.
|
||
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The \var{symbol} argument means whether to compile it as a statement
|
||
|
|
(\code{'single'}, the default) or as an expression (\code{'eval'}).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\strong{Caveat:}
|
||
|
|
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.
