This is a wrapper around PyImport_Import()
which takes a const char* as an argument instead of a PyObject*.
This function is a deprecated alias of PyImport_ImportModule()
.
Changed in version 3.3: This function used to fail immediately when the import lock was held by another thread. In Python 3.3 though, the locking scheme switched to per-module locks for most purposes, so this functionâs special behaviour isnât needed anymore.
Deprecated since version 3.13, will be removed in version 3.15: Use PyImport_ImportModule()
instead.
Import a module. This is best described by referring to the built-in Python function __import__()
.
The return value is a new reference to the imported module or top-level package, or NULL
with an exception set on failure. Like for __import__()
, the return value when a submodule of a package was requested is normally the top-level package, unless a non-empty fromlist was given.
Failing imports remove incomplete module objects, like with PyImport_ImportModule()
.
Import a module. This is best described by referring to the built-in Python function __import__()
, as the standard __import__()
function calls this function directly.
The return value is a new reference to the imported module or top-level package, or NULL
with an exception set on failure. Like for __import__()
, the return value when a submodule of a package was requested is normally the top-level package, unless a non-empty fromlist was given.
Added in version 3.3.
Similar to PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject()
, but the name is a UTF-8 encoded string instead of a Unicode object.
Changed in version 3.3: Negative values for level are no longer accepted.
This is a higher-level interface that calls the current âimport hook functionâ (with an explicit level of 0, meaning absolute import). It invokes the __import__()
function from the __builtins__
of the current globals. This means that the import is done using whatever import hooks are installed in the current environment.
This function always uses absolute imports.
Reload a module. Return a new reference to the reloaded module, or NULL
with an exception set on failure (the module still exists in this case).
Return the module object corresponding to a module name.
The name argument may be of the form package.module
. First check the modules dictionary if thereâs one there, and if not, create a new one and insert it in the modules dictionary.
Return a strong reference to the module on success. Return NULL
with an exception set on failure.
The module name name is decoded from UTF-8.
This function does not load or import the module; if the module wasnât already loaded, you will get an empty module object. Use PyImport_ImportModule()
or one of its variants to import a module. Package structures implied by a dotted name for name are not created if not already present.
Added in version 3.13.
Similar to PyImport_AddModuleRef()
, but return a borrowed reference and name is a Python str
object.
Added in version 3.3.
Similar to PyImport_AddModuleRef()
, but return a borrowed reference.
Given a module name (possibly of the form package.module
) and a code object read from a Python bytecode file or obtained from the built-in function compile()
, load the module. Return a new reference to the module object, or NULL
with an exception set if an error occurred. name is removed from sys.modules
in error cases, even if name was already in sys.modules
on entry to PyImport_ExecCodeModule()
. Leaving incompletely initialized modules in sys.modules
is dangerous, as imports of such modules have no way to know that the module object is an unknown (and probably damaged with respect to the module authorâs intents) state.
The moduleâs __spec__
and __loader__
will be set, if not set already, with the appropriate values. The specâs loader will be set to the moduleâs __loader__
(if set) and to an instance of SourceFileLoader
otherwise.
The moduleâs __file__
attribute will be set to the code objectâs co_filename
. If applicable, __cached__
will also be set.
This function will reload the module if it was already imported. See PyImport_ReloadModule()
for the intended way to reload a module.
If name points to a dotted name of the form package.module
, any package structures not already created will still not be created.
See also PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx()
and PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames()
.
Changed in version 3.12: The setting of __cached__
and __loader__
is deprecated. See ModuleSpec
for alternatives.
Like PyImport_ExecCodeModule()
, but the __file__
attribute of the module object is set to pathname if it is non-NULL
.
See also PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames()
.
Like PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx()
, but the __cached__
attribute of the module object is set to cpathname if it is non-NULL
. Of the three functions, this is the preferred one to use.
Added in version 3.3.
Changed in version 3.12: Setting __cached__
is deprecated. See ModuleSpec
for alternatives.
Like PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject()
, but name, pathname and cpathname are UTF-8 encoded strings. Attempts are also made to figure out what the value for pathname should be from cpathname if the former is set to NULL
.
Added in version 3.2.
Changed in version 3.3: Uses imp.source_from_cache()
in calculating the source path if only the bytecode path is provided.
Changed in version 3.12: No longer uses the removed imp
module.
Return the magic number for Python bytecode files (a.k.a. .pyc
file). The magic number should be present in the first four bytes of the bytecode file, in little-endian byte order. Returns -1
on error.
Changed in version 3.3: Return value of -1
upon failure.
Return the magic tag string for PEP 3147 format Python bytecode file names. Keep in mind that the value at sys.implementation.cache_tag
is authoritative and should be used instead of this function.
Added in version 3.2.
Return the dictionary used for the module administration (a.k.a. sys.modules
). Note that this is a per-interpreter variable.
Return the already imported module with the given name. If the module has not been imported yet then returns NULL
but does not set an error. Returns NULL
and sets an error if the lookup failed.
Added in version 3.7.
Return a finder object for a sys.path
/pkg.__path__
item path, possibly by fetching it from the sys.path_importer_cache
dict. If it wasnât yet cached, traverse sys.path_hooks
until a hook is found that can handle the path item. Return None
if no hook could; this tells our caller that the path based finder could not find a finder for this path item. Cache the result in sys.path_importer_cache
. Return a new reference to the finder object.
Load a frozen module named name. Return 1
for success, 0
if the module is not found, and -1
with an exception set if the initialization failed. To access the imported module on a successful load, use PyImport_ImportModule()
. (Note the misnomer â this function would reload the module if it was already imported.)
Added in version 3.3.
Changed in version 3.4: The __file__
attribute is no longer set on the module.
Similar to PyImport_ImportFrozenModuleObject()
, but the name is a UTF-8 encoded string instead of a Unicode object.
This is the structure type definition for frozen module descriptors, as generated by the freeze utility (see Tools/freeze/
in the Python source distribution). Its definition, found in Include/import.h
, is:
struct _frozen { const char *name; const unsigned char *code; int size; bool is_package; };
Changed in version 3.11: The new is_package
field indicates whether the module is a package or not. This replaces setting the size
field to a negative value.
This pointer is initialized to point to an array of _frozen
records, terminated by one whose members are all NULL
or zero. When a frozen module is imported, it is searched in this table. Third-party code could play tricks with this to provide a dynamically created collection of frozen modules.
Add a single module to the existing table of built-in modules. This is a convenience wrapper around PyImport_ExtendInittab()
, returning -1
if the table could not be extended. The new module can be imported by the name name, and uses the function initfunc as the initialization function called on the first attempted import. This should be called before Py_Initialize()
.
Structure describing a single entry in the list of built-in modules. Programs which embed Python may use an array of these structures in conjunction with PyImport_ExtendInittab()
to provide additional built-in modules. The structure consists of two members:
The module name, as an ASCII encoded string.
Initialization function for a module built into the interpreter.
Add a collection of modules to the table of built-in modules. The newtab array must end with a sentinel entry which contains NULL
for the name
field; failure to provide the sentinel value can result in a memory fault. Returns 0
on success or -1
if insufficient memory could be allocated to extend the internal table. In the event of failure, no modules are added to the internal table. This must be called before Py_Initialize()
.
If Python is initialized multiple times, PyImport_AppendInittab()
or PyImport_ExtendInittab()
must be called before each Python initialization.
