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. - -XXX Need to have an explicit name for '', e.g. '__root__'. - -""" - - -import imp -import string -import sys -import __builtin__ - -import ihooks -from ihooks import ModuleLoader, ModuleImporter - - -class PackageLoader(ModuleLoader): - - """A subclass of ModuleLoader with package support. - - find_module_in_dir() will succeed if there's a subdirectory with - the given name;
