41. Modules non Documentés¶
Voici un rapide survol des modules actuellement non documentés, mais qui devraient l’être. N’hésitez pas à contribuer à leur documentation ! (En anglais, par mail, à docs@python.org.)
L’idée de lister les modules à documenter vient d’un message de Fredrik Lundh. Depuis, le contenu de ce chapitre à pu être mis à jour.
41.1. Miscellaneous useful utilities¶
Some of these are very old and/or not very robust; marked with « hmm. »
ihooks
— Import hook support (for
rexec
; may become obsolete). Removed in Python 3.x.
41.2. Modules spécifiques à une plateforme¶
Ces modules sont utilisés pour implémenter le module os.path
, et n’ont pas plus de documentation. Le besoin de les documenter ne se fait pas réellement sentir.
ntpath
— Implementation of
os.path
on Win32, Win64, WinCE, and OS/2 platforms.posixpath
— Implementation du module
os.path
pour les systèmes POSIX.bsddb185
— Backwards compatibility module for systems which still use the Berkeley DB 1.85 module. It is normally only available on certain BSD Unix-based systems. It should never be used directly.
41.3. Multimedia¶
audiodev
— Platform-independent API for playing audio data. Removed in Python 3.x.
linuxaudiodev
— Play audio data on the Linux audio device. Replaced in Python 2.3 by the
ossaudiodev
module. Removed in Python 3.x.sunaudio
— Interpret Sun audio headers (may become obsolete or a tool/demo). Removed in Python 3.x.
toaiff
— Convert « arbitrary » sound files to AIFF files; should probably become a tool or demo. Requires the external program sox. Removed in Python 3.x.
41.4. Undocumented Mac OS modules¶
41.4.1. applesingle
— AppleSingle decoder¶
Obsolète depuis la version 2.6.
41.4.2. buildtools
— Helper module for BuildApplet and Friends¶
Obsolète depuis la version 2.4.
41.4.3. cfmfile
— Code Fragment Resource module¶
cfmfile
is a module that understands Code Fragments and the accompanying
« cfrg » resources. It can parse them and merge them, and is used by
BuildApplication to combine all plugin modules to a single executable.
Obsolète depuis la version 2.4.
41.4.4. icopen
— Internet Config replacement for open()
¶
Importing icopen
will replace the built-in open()
with a version
that uses Internet Config to set file type and creator for new files.
Obsolète depuis la version 2.6.
41.4.5. macerrors
— Mac OS Errors¶
macerrors
contains constant definitions for many Mac OS error codes.
Obsolète depuis la version 2.6.
41.4.6. macresource
— Locate script resources¶
macresource
helps scripts finding their resources, such as dialogs and
menus, without requiring special case code for when the script is run under
MacPython, as a MacPython applet or under OSX Python.
Obsolète depuis la version 2.6.
41.4.8. PixMapWrapper
— Wrapper for PixMap objects¶
PixMapWrapper
wraps a PixMap object with a Python object that allows
access to the fields by name. It also has methods to convert to and from
PIL
images.
Obsolète depuis la version 2.6.
41.4.9. videoreader
— Read QuickTime movies¶
videoreader
reads and decodes QuickTime movies and passes a stream of
images to your program. It also provides some support for audio tracks.
Obsolète depuis la version 2.6.
41.5. Obsolete¶
These modules are not normally available for import; additional work must be done to make them available.
These extension modules written in C are not built by default. Under Unix, these
must be enabled by uncommenting the appropriate lines in Modules/Setup
in the build tree and either rebuilding Python if the modules are statically
linked, or building and installing the shared object if using dynamically-loaded
extensions.
timing
— Measure time intervals to high resolution (use
time.clock()
instead). Removed in Python 3.x.
41.6. SGI-specific Extension modules¶
The following are SGI specific, and may be out of touch with the current version of reality.
cl
— Interface to the SGI compression library.
sv
— Interface to the « simple video » board on SGI Indigo (obsolete hardware). Removed in Python 3.x.
