msgid "The import system"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Python code in one :term:`module` gains access to the code in another module "

"by the process of :term:`importing` it. The :keyword:`import` statement is "

"the most common way of invoking the import machinery, but it is not the only "

"way. Functions such as :func:`importlib.import_module` and built-"

"in :func:`__import__` can also be used to invoke the import machinery."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The :keyword:`import` statement combines two operations; it searches for the "

"named module, then it binds the results of that search to a name in the "

"local scope. The search operation of the :keyword:`!import` statement is "

"defined as a call to the :func:`__import__` function, with the appropriate "

"arguments. The return value of :func:`__import__` is used to perform the "

"name binding operation of the :keyword:`!import` statement. See "

"the :keyword:`!import` statement for the exact details of that name binding "

"operation."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"A direct call to :func:`__import__` performs only the module search and, if "

"found, the module creation operation. While certain side-effects may occur, "

"such as the importing of parent packages, and the updating of various caches "

"(including :data:`sys.modules`), only the :keyword:`import` statement "

"performs a name binding operation."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"When an :keyword:`import` statement is executed, the standard "

"builtin :func:`__import__` function is called. Other mechanisms for invoking "

"the import system (such as :func:`importlib.import_module`) may choose to "

"bypass :func:`__import__` and use their own solutions to implement import "

"semantics."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"When a module is first imported, Python searches for the module and if "

"found, it creates a module object [#fnmo]_, initializing it. If the named "

"module cannot be found, a :exc:`ModuleNotFoundError` is raised. Python "

"implements various strategies to search for the named module when the import "

"machinery is invoked. These strategies can be modified and extended by "

"using various hooks described in the sections below."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The import system has been updated to fully implement the second phase "

"of :pep:`302`. There is no longer any implicit import machinery - the full "

"import system is exposed through :data:`sys.meta_path`. In addition, native "

"namespace package support has been implemented (see :pep:`420`)."

msgstr ""

msgid ":mod:`importlib`"

msgstr ":mod:`importlib`"

msgid ""

"The :mod:`importlib` module provides a rich API for interacting with the "

"import system. For example :func:`importlib.import_module` provides a "

"recommended, simpler API than built-in :func:`__import__` for invoking the "

"import machinery. Refer to the :mod:`importlib` library documentation for "

"additional detail."

msgstr ""

msgid "Packages"

msgstr "Pakiety"

msgid ""

"Python has only one type of module object, and all modules are of this type, "

"regardless of whether the module is implemented in Python, C, or something "

"else. To help organize modules and provide a naming hierarchy, Python has a "

"concept of :term:`packages <package>`."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"You can think of packages as the directories on a file system and modules as "

"files within directories, but don't take this analogy too literally since "

"packages and modules need not originate from the file system. For the "

"purposes of this documentation, we'll use this convenient analogy of "

"directories and files. Like file system directories, packages are organized "

"hierarchically, and packages may themselves contain subpackages, as well as "

"regular modules."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"It's important to keep in mind that all packages are modules, but not all "

"modules are packages. Or put another way, packages are just a special kind "

"of module. Specifically, any module that contains a ``__path__`` attribute "

"is considered a package."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"All modules have a name. Subpackage names are separated from their parent "

"package name by a dot, akin to Python's standard attribute access syntax. "

"Thus you might have a package called :mod:`email`, which in turn has a "

"subpackage called :mod:`email.mime` and a module within that subpackage "

"called :mod:`email.mime.text`."

msgstr ""

msgid "Regular packages"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Python defines two types of packages, :term:`regular packages <regular "

"package>` and :term:`namespace packages <namespace package>`. Regular "

"packages are traditional packages as they existed in Python 3.2 and earlier. "

"A regular package is typically implemented as a directory containing an "

"``__init__.py`` file. When a regular package is imported, this "

"``__init__.py`` file is implicitly executed, and the objects it defines are "

"bound to names in the package's namespace. The ``__init__.py`` file can "

"contain the same Python code that any other module can contain, and Python "

"will add some additional attributes to the module when it is imported."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"For example, the following file system layout defines a top level ``parent`` "

"package with three subpackages::"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"parent/\n"

" __init__.py\n"

" one/\n"

" __init__.py\n"

" two/\n"

" __init__.py\n"

" three/\n"

" __init__.py"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Importing ``parent.one`` will implicitly execute ``parent/__init__.py`` and "

"``parent/one/__init__.py``. Subsequent imports of ``parent.two`` or "

"``parent.three`` will execute ``parent/two/__init__.py`` and ``parent/three/"

"__init__.py`` respectively."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"A subdirectory inside a regular package that does not contain an "

"``__init__.py`` file is treated as an implicit :ref:`namespace package "

"<reference-namespace-package>` (a \"namespace subpackage\") rooted in that "

"parent. See :pep:`420` for the underlying specification."

msgstr ""

msgid "Namespace packages"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"A namespace package is a composite of various :term:`portions <portion>`, "

"where each portion contributes a subpackage to the parent package. Portions "

"may reside in different locations on the file system. Portions may also be "

"found in zip files, on the network, or anywhere else that Python searches "

"during import. Namespace packages may or may not correspond directly to "

"objects on the file system; they may be virtual modules that have no "

"concrete representation."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Namespace packages do not use an ordinary list for their ``__path__`` "

"attribute. They instead use a custom iterable type which will automatically "

"perform a new search for package portions on the next import attempt within "

"that package if the path of their parent package (or :data:`sys.path` for a "

"top level package) changes."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"With namespace packages, there is no ``parent/__init__.py`` file. In fact, "

"there may be multiple ``parent`` directories found during import search, "

"where each one is provided by a different portion. Thus ``parent/one`` may "

"not be physically located next to ``parent/two``. In this case, Python will "

"create a namespace package for the top-level ``parent`` package whenever it "

"or one of its subpackages is imported."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Namespace packages may also be nested inside a regular package. When the "

"import system searches a regular package's ``__path__`` and encounters a "

"subdirectory that does not contain an ``__init__.py`` file, that "

"subdirectory becomes a :term:`portion` contributing to a namespace "

"subpackage of the enclosing regular package."

msgstr ""

msgid "See also :pep:`420` for the namespace package specification."

msgstr ""

msgid "Searching"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"To begin the search, Python needs the :term:`fully qualified <qualified "

"name>` name of the module (or package, but for the purposes of this "

"discussion, the difference is immaterial) being imported. This name may "

"come from various arguments to the :keyword:`import` statement, or from the "

"parameters to the :func:`importlib.import_module` or :func:`__import__` "

"functions."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"This name will be used in various phases of the import search, and it may be "

"the dotted path to a submodule, e.g. ``foo.bar.baz``. In this case, Python "

"first tries to import ``foo``, then ``foo.bar``, and finally "

"``foo.bar.baz``. If any of the intermediate imports fail, "

"a :exc:`ModuleNotFoundError` is raised."

msgstr ""

msgid "The module cache"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The first place checked during import search is :data:`sys.modules`. This "

"mapping serves as a cache of all modules that have been previously imported, "

"including the intermediate paths. So if ``foo.bar.baz`` was previously "

"imported, :data:`sys.modules` will contain entries for ``foo``, ``foo.bar``, "

"and ``foo.bar.baz``. Each key will have as its value the corresponding "

"module object."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"During import, the module name is looked up in :data:`sys.modules` and if "

"present, the associated value is the module satisfying the import, and the "

"process completes. However, if the value is ``None``, then "

"a :exc:`ModuleNotFoundError` is raised. If the module name is missing, "

"Python will continue searching for the module."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

":data:`sys.modules` is writable. Deleting a key may not destroy the "

"associated module (as other modules may hold references to it), but it will "

"invalidate the cache entry for the named module, causing Python to search "

"anew for the named module upon its next import. The key can also be assigned "

"to ``None``, forcing the next import of the module to result in "

"a :exc:`ModuleNotFoundError`."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Beware though, as if you keep a reference to the module object, invalidate "

"its cache entry in :data:`sys.modules`, and then re-import the named module, "

"the two module objects will *not* be the same. By "

"contrast, :func:`importlib.reload` will reuse the *same* module object, and "

"simply reinitialise the module contents by rerunning the module's code."

msgstr ""

msgid "Finders and loaders"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"If the named module is not found in :data:`sys.modules`, then Python's "

"import protocol is invoked to find and load the module. This protocol "

"consists of two conceptual objects, :term:`finders <finder>` "

"and :term:`loaders <loader>`. A finder's job is to determine whether it can "

"find the named module using whatever strategy it knows about. Objects that "

"implement both of these interfaces are referred to as :term:`importers "

"<importer>` - they return themselves when they find that they can load the "

"requested module."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Python includes a number of default finders and importers. The first one "

"knows how to locate built-in modules, and the second knows how to locate "

"frozen modules. A third default finder searches an :term:`import path` for "

"modules. The :term:`import path` is a list of locations that may name file "

"system paths or zip files. It can also be extended to search for any "

"locatable resource, such as those identified by URLs."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The import machinery is extensible, so new finders can be added to extend "

"the range and scope of module searching."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Finders do not actually load modules. If they can find the named module, "

"they return a :dfn:`module spec`, an encapsulation of the module's import-"

"related information, which the import machinery then uses when loading the "

"module."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The following sections describe the protocol for finders and loaders in more "

"detail, including how you can create and register new ones to extend the "

"import machinery."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"In previous versions of Python, finders returned :term:`loaders <loader>` "

"directly, whereas now they return module specs which *contain* loaders. "

"Loaders are still used during import but have fewer responsibilities."

msgstr ""

msgid "Import hooks"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The import machinery is designed to be extensible; the primary mechanism for "

"this are the *import hooks*. There are two types of import hooks: *meta "

"hooks* and *import path hooks*."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Meta hooks are called at the start of import processing, before any other "

"import processing has occurred, other than :data:`sys.modules` cache look "

"up. This allows meta hooks to override :data:`sys.path` processing, frozen "

"modules, or even built-in modules. Meta hooks are registered by adding new "

"finder objects to :data:`sys.meta_path`, as described below."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Import path hooks are called as part of :data:`sys.path` (or "

"``package.__path__``) processing, at the point where their associated path "

"item is encountered. Import path hooks are registered by adding new "

"callables to :data:`sys.path_hooks` as described below."

msgstr ""

msgid "The meta path"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"When the named module is not found in :data:`sys.modules`, Python next "

"searches :data:`sys.meta_path`, which contains a list of meta path finder "

"objects. These finders are queried in order to see if they know how to "

"handle the named module. Meta path finders must implement a method "

"called :meth:`~importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder.find_spec` which takes three "

"arguments: a name, an import path, and (optionally) a target module. The "

"meta path finder can use any strategy it wants to determine whether it can "

"handle the named module or not."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"If the meta path finder knows how to handle the named module, it returns a "

"spec object. If it cannot handle the named module, it returns ``None``. "

"If :data:`sys.meta_path` processing reaches the end of its list without "

"returning a spec, then a :exc:`ModuleNotFoundError` is raised. Any other "

"exceptions raised are simply propagated up, aborting the import process."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The :meth:`~importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder.find_spec` method of meta path "

"finders is called with two or three arguments. The first is the fully "

"qualified name of the module being imported, for example ``foo.bar.baz``. "

"The second argument is the path entries to use for the module search. For "

"top-level modules, the second argument is ``None``, but for submodules or "

"subpackages, the second argument is the value of the parent package's "

"``__path__`` attribute. If the appropriate ``__path__`` attribute cannot be "

"accessed, a :exc:`ModuleNotFoundError` is raised. The third argument is an "

"existing module object that will be the target of loading later. The import "

"system passes in a target module only during reload."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The meta path may be traversed multiple times for a single import request. "

"For example, assuming none of the modules involved has already been cached, "

"importing ``foo.bar.baz`` will first perform a top level import, calling "

"``mpf.find_spec(\"foo\", None, None)`` on each meta path finder (``mpf``). "

"After ``foo`` has been imported, ``foo.bar`` will be imported by traversing "

"the meta path a second time, calling ``mpf.find_spec(\"foo.bar\", "

"foo.__path__, None)``. Once ``foo.bar`` has been imported, the final "

"traversal will call ``mpf.find_spec(\"foo.bar.baz\", foo.bar.__path__, "

"None)``."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Some meta path finders only support top level imports. These importers will "

"always return ``None`` when anything other than ``None`` is passed as the "

"second argument."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Python's default :data:`sys.meta_path` has three meta path finders, one that "

"knows how to import built-in modules, one that knows how to import frozen "

"modules, and one that knows how to import modules from an :term:`import "

"path` (i.e. the :term:`path based finder`)."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The :meth:`~importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder.find_spec` method of meta path "

"finders replaced :meth:`!find_module`, which is now deprecated. While it "

"will continue to work without change, the import machinery will try it only "

"if the finder does not "

"implement :meth:`~importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder.find_spec`."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Use of :meth:`!find_module` by the import system now "

"raises :exc:`ImportWarning`."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

":meth:`!find_module` has been removed. "

"Use :meth:`~importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder.find_spec` instead."

msgstr ""

msgid "Loading"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"If and when a module spec is found, the import machinery will use it (and "

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The module will exist in :data:`sys.modules` before the loader executes the "

msgstr ""

"control the repr of module objects."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"If the module has a spec (``__spec__``), the import machinery will try to "

"generate a repr from it. If that fails or there is no spec, the import "

"system will craft a default repr using whatever information is available on "

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Before Python loads cached bytecode from a ``.pyc`` file, it checks whether "

"the cache is up-to-date with the source ``.py`` file. By default, Python "

"does this by storing the source's last-modified timestamp and size in the "

"cache file when writing it. At runtime, the import system then validates the "

"cache file by checking the stored metadata in the cache file against the "

"source's metadata."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Python also supports \"hash-based\" cache files, which store a hash of the "

"source file's contents rather than its metadata. There are two variants of "

"hash-based ``.pyc`` files: checked and unchecked. For checked hash-based "

"``.pyc`` files, Python validates the cache file by hashing the source file "

"and comparing the resulting hash with the hash in the cache file. If a "

"checked hash-based cache file is found to be invalid, Python regenerates it "

"and writes a new checked hash-based cache file. For unchecked hash-based "

"``.pyc`` files, Python simply assumes the cache file is valid if it exists. "

"Hash-based ``.pyc`` files validation behavior may be overridden with "

"the :option:`--check-hash-based-pycs` flag."

msgid "The Path Based Finder"

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"As mentioned previously, Python comes with several default meta path "

"finders. One of these, called the :term:`path based finder` "

"(:class:`~importlib.machinery.PathFinder`), searches an :term:`import path`, "

"which contains a list of :term:`path entries <path entry>`. Each path entry "

"names a location to search for modules."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The path based finder itself doesn't know how to import anything. Instead, "

"it traverses the individual path entries, associating each of them with a "

"path entry finder that knows how to handle that particular kind of path."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The default set of path entry finders implement all the semantics for "

"finding modules on the file system, handling special file types such as "

"Python source code (``.py`` files), Python byte code (``.pyc`` files) and "

"shared libraries (e.g. ``.so`` files). When supported by "

"the :mod:`zipimport` module in the standard library, the default path entry "

"finders also handle loading all of these file types (other than shared "

"libraries) from zipfiles."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"Path entries need not be limited to file system locations. They can refer "

"to URLs, database queries, or any other location that can be specified as a "

"string."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"The path based finder provides additional hooks and protocols so that you "

"can extend and customize the types of searchable path entries. For example, "

"if you wanted to support path entries as network URLs, you could write a "

"hook that implements HTTP semantics to find modules on the web. This hook "

"(a callable) would return a :term:`path entry finder` supporting the "

"protocol described below, which was then used to get a loader for the module "

"from the web."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"A word of warning: this section and the previous both use the term *finder*, "

"distinguishing between them by using the terms :term:`meta path finder` "

"and :term:`path entry finder`. These two types of finders are very similar, "

"support similar protocols, and function in similar ways during the import "

"process, but it's important to keep in mind that they are subtly different. "

"In particular, meta path finders operate at the beginning of the import "

"process, as keyed off the :data:`sys.meta_path` traversal."

msgstr ""

msgid ""

"By contrast, path entry finders are in a sense an implementation detail of "

"the path based finder, and in fact, if the path based finder were to be "

"As a meta path finder, the :term:`path based finder` implements "

":data:`sys.path` contains a list of strings providing search locations for "

"modules and packages. It is initialized from the :envvar:`PYTHONPATH` "

"The :term:`path based finder` is a :term:`meta path finder`, so the import "

"machinery begins the :term:`import path` search by calling the path based "

"finder's :meth:`~importlib.machinery.PathFinder.find_spec` method as "

"described previously. When the ``path`` argument "

"to :meth:`~importlib.machinery.PathFinder.find_spec` is given, it will be a "

"for this search), the path based finder maintains a cache mapping path "

"entries to path entry finders. This cache is maintained "

"in :data:`sys.path_importer_cache` (despite the name, this cache actually "

"single argument, the path entry to be searched. This callable may either "

"return a :term:`path entry finder` that can handle the path entry, or it may "

"raise :exc:`ImportError`. An :exc:`ImportError` is used by the path based "

"finder to signal that the hook cannot find a :term:`path entry finder` for "

"that :term:`path entry`. The exception is ignored and :term:`import path` "

"iteration continues. The hook should expect either a string or bytes "

"object; the encoding of bytes objects is up to the hook (e.g. it may be a "

"file system encoding, UTF-8, or something else), and if the hook cannot "
