:mod:`tokenize` --- Tokenizer for Python source
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: tokenize
|
|
:synopsis: Lexical scanner for Python source code.
|
|
.. moduleauthor:: Ka Ping Yee
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`tokenize` module provides a lexical scanner for Python source code,
|
|
implemented in Python. The scanner in this module returns comments as tokens as
|
|
well, making it useful for implementing "pretty-printers," including colorizers
|
|
for on-screen displays.
|
|
|
|
The primary entry point is a :term:`generator`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: generate_tokens(readline)
|
|
|
|
The :func:`generate_tokens` generator requires one argment, *readline*, which
|
|
must be a callable object which provides the same interface as the
|
|
:meth:`readline` method of built-in file objects (see section
|
|
:ref:`bltin-file-objects`). Each call to the function should return one line of
|
|
input as a string.
|
|
|
|
The generator produces 5-tuples with these members: the token type; the token
|
|
string; a 2-tuple ``(srow, scol)`` of ints specifying the row and column where
|
|
the token begins in the source; a 2-tuple ``(erow, ecol)`` of ints specifying
|
|
the row and column where the token ends in the source; and the line on which the
|
|
token was found. The line passed is the *logical* line; continuation lines are
|
|
included.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.2
|
|
|
|
An older entry point is retained for backward compatibility:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: tokenize(readline[, tokeneater])
|
|
|
|
The :func:`tokenize` function accepts two parameters: one representing the input
|
|
stream, and one providing an output mechanism for :func:`tokenize`.
|
|
|
|
The first parameter, *readline*, must be a callable object which provides the
|
|
same interface as the :meth:`readline` method of built-in file objects (see
|
|
section :ref:`bltin-file-objects`). Each call to the function should return one
|
|
line of input as a string. Alternately, *readline* may be a callable object that
|
|
signals completion by raising :exc:`StopIteration`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 2.5
|
|
Added :exc:`StopIteration` support.
|
|
|
|
The second parameter, *tokeneater*, must also be a callable object. It is
|
|
called once for each token, with five arguments, corresponding to the tuples
|
|
generated by :func:`generate_tokens`.
|
|
|
|
All constants from the :mod:`token` module are also exported from
|
|
:mod:`tokenize`, as are two additional token type values that might be passed to
|
|
the *tokeneater* function by :func:`tokenize`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: COMMENT
|
|
|
|
Token value used to indicate a comment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: NL
|
|
|
|
Token value used to indicate a non-terminating newline. The NEWLINE token
|
|
indicates the end of a logical line of Python code; NL tokens are generated when
|
|
a logical line of code is continued over multiple physical lines.
|
|
|
|
Another function is provided to reverse the tokenization process. This is useful
|
|
for creating tools that tokenize a script, modify the token stream, and write
|
|
back the modified script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: untokenize(iterable)
|
|
|
|
Converts tokens back into Python source code. The *iterable* must return
|
|
sequences with at least two elements, the token type and the token string. Any
|
|
additional sequence elements are ignored.
|
|
|
|
The reconstructed script is returned as a single string. The result is
|
|
guaranteed to tokenize back to match the input so that the conversion is
|
|
lossless and round-trips are assured. The guarantee applies only to the token
|
|
type and token string as the spacing between tokens (column positions) may
|
|
change.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.5
|
|
|
|
Example of a script re-writer that transforms float literals into Decimal
|
|
objects::
|
|
|
|
def decistmt(s):
|
|
"""Substitute Decimals for floats in a string of statements.
|
|
|
|
>>> from decimal import Decimal
|
|
>>> s = 'print +21.3e-5*-.1234/81.7'
|
|
>>> decistmt(s)
|
|
"print +Decimal ('21.3e-5')*-Decimal ('.1234')/Decimal ('81.7')"
|
|
|
|
>>> exec(s)
|
|
-3.21716034272e-007
|
|
>>> exec(decistmt(s))
|
|
-3.217160342717258261933904529E-7
|
|
|
|
"""
|
|
result = []
|
|
g = generate_tokens(StringIO(s).readline) # tokenize the string
|
|
for toknum, tokval, _, _, _ in g:
|
|
if toknum == NUMBER and '.' in tokval: # replace NUMBER tokens
|
|
result.extend([
|
|
(NAME, 'Decimal'),
|
|
(OP, '('),
|
|
(STRING, repr(tokval)),
|
|
(OP, ')')
|
|
])
|
|
else:
|
|
result.append((toknum, tokval))
|
|
return untokenize(result)
