The functions in this chapter will let you execute Python source code given in a
|
|
file or a buffer, but they will not let you interact in a more detailed way with
|
|
the interpreter.
|
|
|
|
Several of these functions accept a start symbol from the grammar as a
|
|
parameter. The available start symbols are :const:`Py_eval_input`,
|
|
:const:`Py_file_input`, and :const:`Py_single_input`. These are described
|
|
following the functions which accept them as parameters.
|
|
|
|
Note also that several of these functions take :c:type:`FILE\*` parameters. One
|
|
particular issue which needs to be handled carefully is that the :c:type:`FILE`
|
|
structure for different C libraries can be different and incompatible. Under
|
|
Windows (at least), it is possible for dynamically linked extensions to actually
|
|
use different libraries, so care should be taken that :c:type:`FILE\*` parameters
|
|
are only passed to these functions if it is certain that they were created by
|
|
the same library that the Python runtime is using.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int Py_Main(int argc, wchar_t **argv)
|
|
|
|
The main program for the standard interpreter. This is made
|
|
available for programs which embed Python. The *argc* and *argv*
|
|
parameters should be prepared exactly as those which are passed to
|
|
a C program's :c:func:`main` function (converted to wchar_t
|
|
according to the user's locale). It is important to note that the
|
|
argument list may be modified (but the contents of the strings
|
|
pointed to by the argument list are not). The return value will be
|
|
the integer passed to the :func:`sys.exit` function, ``1`` if the
|
|
interpreter exits due to an exception, or ``2`` if the parameter
|
|
list does not represent a valid Python command line.
|
|
|
|
Note that if an otherwise unhandled :exc:`SystemError` is raised, this
|
|
function will not return ``1``, but exit the process, as long as
|
|
``Py_InspectFlag`` is not set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_AnyFile(FILE *fp, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_AnyFileExFlags` below, leaving
|
|
*closeit* set to ``0`` and *flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_AnyFileFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_AnyFileExFlags` below, leaving
|
|
the *closeit* argument set to ``0``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_AnyFileEx(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int closeit)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_AnyFileExFlags` below, leaving
|
|
the *flags* argument set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_AnyFileExFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int closeit, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
If *fp* refers to a file associated with an interactive device (console or
|
|
terminal input or Unix pseudo-terminal), return the value of
|
|
:c:func:`PyRun_InteractiveLoop`, otherwise return the result of
|
|
:c:func:`PyRun_SimpleFile`. If *filename* is *NULL*, this function uses
|
|
``"???"`` as the filename.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_SimpleString(const char *command)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_SimpleStringFlags` below,
|
|
leaving the *PyCompilerFlags\** argument set to NULL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_SimpleStringFlags(const char *command, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
Executes the Python source code from *command* in the :mod:`__main__` module
|
|
according to the *flags* argument. If :mod:`__main__` does not already exist, it
|
|
is created. Returns ``0`` on success or ``-1`` if an exception was raised. If
|
|
there was an error, there is no way to get the exception information. For the
|
|
meaning of *flags*, see below.
|
|
|
|
Note that if an otherwise unhandled :exc:`SystemError` is raised, this
|
|
function will not return ``-1``, but exit the process, as long as
|
|
``Py_InspectFlag`` is not set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_SimpleFile(FILE *fp, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags` below,
|
|
leaving *closeit* set to ``0`` and *flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_SimpleFileFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags` below,
|
|
leaving *closeit* set to ``0``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_SimpleFileEx(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int closeit)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags` below,
|
|
leaving *flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int closeit, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyRun_SimpleStringFlags`, but the Python source code is read
|
|
from *fp* instead of an in-memory string. *filename* should be the name of the
|
|
file. If *closeit* is true, the file is closed before PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags
|
|
returns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_InteractiveOne(FILE *fp, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_InteractiveOneFlags` below,
|
|
leaving *flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_InteractiveOneFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
Read and execute a single statement from a file associated with an
|
|
interactive device according to the *flags* argument. The user will be
|
|
prompted using ``sys.ps1`` and ``sys.ps2``. Returns ``0`` when the input was
|
|
executed successfully, ``-1`` if there was an exception, or an error code
|
|
from the :file:`errcode.h` include file distributed as part of Python if
|
|
there was a parse error. (Note that :file:`errcode.h` is not included by
|
|
:file:`Python.h`, so must be included specifically if needed.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_InteractiveLoop(FILE *fp, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_InteractiveLoopFlags` below,
|
|
leaving *flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyRun_InteractiveLoopFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
Read and execute statements from a file associated with an interactive device
|
|
until EOF is reached. The user will be prompted using ``sys.ps1`` and
|
|
``sys.ps2``. Returns ``0`` at EOF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: struct _node* PyParser_SimpleParseString(const char *str, int start)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to
|
|
:c:func:`PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlagsFilename` below, leaving *filename* set
|
|
to *NULL* and *flags* set to ``0``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: struct _node* PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlags( const char *str, int start, int flags)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to
|
|
:c:func:`PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlagsFilename` below, leaving *filename* set
|
|
to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: struct _node* PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlagsFilename( const char *str, const char *filename, int start, int flags)
|
|
|
|
Parse Python source code from *str* using the start token *start* according to
|
|
the *flags* argument. The result can be used to create a code object which can
|
|
be evaluated efficiently. This is useful if a code fragment must be evaluated
|
|
many times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: struct _node* PyParser_SimpleParseFile(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int start)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyParser_SimpleParseFileFlags` below,
|
|
leaving *flags* set to ``0``
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: struct _node* PyParser_SimpleParseFileFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int start, int flags)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlagsFilename`, but the Python
|
|
source code is read from *fp* instead of an in-memory string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyRun_String(const char *str, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_StringFlags` below, leaving
|
|
*flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyRun_StringFlags(const char *str, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
Execute Python source code from *str* in the context specified by the
|
|
dictionaries *globals* and *locals* with the compiler flags specified by
|
|
*flags*. The parameter *start* specifies the start token that should be used to
|
|
parse the source code.
|
|
|
|
Returns the result of executing the code as a Python object, or *NULL* if an
|
|
exception was raised.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyRun_File(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_FileExFlags` below, leaving
|
|
*closeit* set to ``0`` and *flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyRun_FileEx(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, int closeit)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_FileExFlags` below, leaving
|
|
*flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyRun_FileFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyRun_FileExFlags` below, leaving
|
|
*closeit* set to ``0``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyRun_FileExFlags(FILE *fp, const char *filename, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, int closeit, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyRun_StringFlags`, but the Python source code is read from
|
|
*fp* instead of an in-memory string. *filename* should be the name of the file.
|
|
If *closeit* is true, the file is closed before :c:func:`PyRun_FileExFlags`
|
|
returns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* Py_CompileString(const char *str, const char *filename, int start)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`Py_CompileStringFlags` below, leaving
|
|
*flags* set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* Py_CompileStringFlags(const char *str, const char *filename, int start, PyCompilerFlags *flags)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`Py_CompileStringExFlags` below, with
|
|
*optimize* set to ``-1``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* Py_CompileStringExFlags(const char *str, const char *filename, int start, PyCompilerFlags *flags, int optimize)
|
|
|
|
Parse and compile the Python source code in *str*, returning the resulting code
|
|
object. The start token is given by *start*; this can be used to constrain the
|
|
code which can be compiled and should be :const:`Py_eval_input`,
|
|
:const:`Py_file_input`, or :const:`Py_single_input`. The filename specified by
|
|
*filename* is used to construct the code object and may appear in tracebacks or
|
|
:exc:`SyntaxError` exception messages. This returns *NULL* if the code cannot
|
|
be parsed or compiled.
|
|
|
|
The integer *optimize* specifies the optimization level of the compiler; a
|
|
value of ``-1`` selects the optimization level of the interpreter as given by
|
|
:option:`-O` options. Explicit levels are ``0`` (no optimization;
|
|
``__debug__`` is true), ``1`` (asserts are removed, ``__debug__`` is false)
|
|
or ``2`` (docstrings are removed too).
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyEval_EvalCode(PyObject *co, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals)
|
|
|
|
This is a simplified interface to :c:func:`PyEval_EvalCodeEx`, with just
|
|
the code object, and the dictionaries of global and local variables.
|
|
The other arguments are set to *NULL*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyEval_EvalCodeEx(PyObject *co, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyObject **args, int argcount, PyObject **kws, int kwcount, PyObject **defs, int defcount, PyObject *closure)
|
|
|
|
Evaluate a precompiled code object, given a particular environment for its
|
|
evaluation. This environment consists of dictionaries of global and local
|
|
variables, arrays of arguments, keywords and defaults, and a closure tuple of
|
|
cells.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyEval_EvalFrame(PyFrameObject *f)
|
|
|
|
Evaluate an execution frame. This is a simplified interface to
|
|
PyEval_EvalFrameEx, for backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyEval_EvalFrameEx(PyFrameObject *f, int throwflag)
|
|
|
|
This is the main, unvarnished function of Python interpretation. It is
|
|
literally 2000 lines long. The code object associated with the execution
|
|
frame *f* is executed, interpreting bytecode and executing calls as needed.
|
|
The additional *throwflag* parameter can mostly be ignored - if true, then
|
|
it causes an exception to immediately be thrown; this is used for the
|
|
:meth:`throw` methods of generator objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags(PyCompilerFlags *cf)
|
|
|
|
This function changes the flags of the current evaluation frame, and returns
|
|
true on success, false on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: int Py_eval_input
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: Py_CompileString()
|
|
|
|
The start symbol from the Python grammar for isolated expressions; for use with
|
|
:c:func:`Py_CompileString`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: int Py_file_input
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: Py_CompileString()
|
|
|
|
The start symbol from the Python grammar for sequences of statements as read
|
|
from a file or other source; for use with :c:func:`Py_CompileString`. This is
|
|
the symbol to use when compiling arbitrarily long Python source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: int Py_single_input
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: Py_CompileString()
|
|
|
|
The start symbol from the Python grammar for a single statement; for use with
|
|
:c:func:`Py_CompileString`. This is the symbol used for the interactive
|
|
interpreter loop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:type:: struct PyCompilerFlags
|
|
|
|
This is the structure used to hold compiler flags. In cases where code is only
|
|
being compiled, it is passed as ``int flags``, and in cases where code is being
|
|
executed, it is passed as ``PyCompilerFlags *flags``. In this case, ``from
|
|
__future__ import`` can modify *flags*.
|
|
|
|
Whenever ``PyCompilerFlags *flags`` is *NULL*, :attr:`cf_flags` is treated as
|
|
equal to ``0``, and any modification due to ``from __future__ import`` is
|
|
discarded. ::
|
|
|
|
struct PyCompilerFlags {
|
|
int cf_flags;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: int CO_FUTURE_DIVISION
|
|
|
|
This bit can be set in *flags* to cause division operator ``/`` to be
|
|
interpreted as "true division" according to :pep:`238`.
|
|
|
