Undocumented Modules

Here's a quick listing of modules that are currently undocumented, but that
|
|
|
|
|
should be documented. Feel free to contribute documentation for them! (Send
|
|

via email to docs@python.org.)

The idea and original contents for this chapter were taken from a posting by
|
|
|
|
|
Fredrik Lundh; the specific contents of this chapter have been substantially
|
|
|
|
|
revised.

Platform specific modules
|
|
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These modules are used to implement the :mod:`os.path` module, and are not
|
|
|
|
|
documented beyond this mention. There's little need to document these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:mod:`ntpath`
|
|
|
|
|
--- Implementation of :mod:`os.path` on Win32, Win64, WinCE, and OS/2 platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:mod:`posixpath`
|
|
|
|
|
--- Implementation of :mod:`os.path` on POSIX.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multimedia
|
|
|
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:mod:`linuxaudiodev`
|
|
|
|
|
--- Play audio data on the Linux audio device. Replaced in Python 2.3 by the
|
|
|
|
|
:mod:`ossaudiodev` module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:mod:`sunaudio`
|
|
|
|
|
--- Interpret Sun audio headers (may become obsolete or a tool/demo).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _obsolete-modules:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obsolete
|
|
|
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These modules are not normally available for import; additional work must be
|
|
|
|
|
done to make them available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These extension modules written in C are not built by default. Under Unix, these
|
|
|
|
|
must be enabled by uncommenting the appropriate lines in :file:`Modules/Setup`
|
|
|
|
|
in the build tree and either rebuilding Python if the modules are statically
|
|
|
|
|
linked, or building and installing the shared object if using dynamically-loaded
|
|
|
|
|
extensions.

Those which are written in Python will be installed into the directory
|
|
|
|
|
\file{lib-old/} installed as part of the standard library. To use
|
|
|
|
|
these, the directory must be added to \code{sys.path}, possibly using
|
|
|
|
|
\envvar{PYTHONPATH}.

:mod:`timing`
|
|
|
|
|
--- Measure time intervals to high resolution (use :func:`time.clock` instead).

SGI-specific Extension modules
|
|
|
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following are SGI specific, and may be out of touch with the current version
|
|
|
|
|
of reality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:mod:`cl`
|
|
|
|
|
--- Interface to the SGI compression library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:mod:`sv`
|
|
|
|
|
--- Interface to the "simple video" board on SGI Indigo (obsolete hardware).
