Importer des modules
********************

PyObject *PyImport_ImportModule(const char *name)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   This is a wrapper around "PyImport_Import()" which takes a const
   char* as an argument instead of a PyObject*.

PyObject *PyImport_ImportModuleEx(const char *name, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyObject *fromlist)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.*

   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()".

PyObject *PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject(PyObject *name, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyObject *fromlist, int level)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable depuis la version 3.7.*

   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.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.3.

PyObject *PyImport_ImportModuleLevel(const char *name, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyObject *fromlist, int level)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   Similar to "PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject()", but the name is a
   UTF-8 encoded string instead of a Unicode object.

   Modifié dans la version 3.3: Negative values for *level* are no
   longer accepted.

PyObject *PyImport_Import(PyObject *name)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   This is a higher-level interface that calls the current "import
   hook function" (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.

PyObject *PyImport_ReloadModule(PyObject *m)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   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).

PyObject *PyImport_AddModuleRef(const char *name)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable depuis la version 3.13.*

   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 there's 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
   wasn't 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.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.13.

PyObject *PyImport_AddModuleObject(PyObject *name)
    *Valeur de retour : référence empruntée.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable depuis la version 3.7.*

   Similar to "PyImport_AddModuleRef()", but return a *borrowed
   reference* and *name* is a Python "str" object.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.3.

PyObject *PyImport_AddModule(const char *name)
    *Valeur de retour : référence empruntée.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   Similar to "PyImport_AddModuleRef()", but return a *borrowed
   reference*.

PyObject *PyImport_ExecCodeModule(const char *name, PyObject *co)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   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 author's intents)
   state.

   The module's "__spec__" and "__loader__" will be set, if not set
   already, with the appropriate values.  The spec's loader will be
   set to the module's "__loader__" (if set) and to an instance of
   "SourceFileLoader" otherwise.

   The module's "__file__" attribute will be set to the code object's
   "co_filename".

   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()".

   Modifié dans la version 3.12: The setting of "__cached__" and
   "__loader__" is deprecated. See "ModuleSpec" for alternatives.

   Modifié dans la version 3.15: "__cached__" is no longer set.

PyObject *PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx(const char *name, PyObject *co, const char *pathname)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   Like "PyImport_ExecCodeModule()", but the "__file__" attribute of
   the module object is set to *pathname* if it is non-"NULL".

   See also "PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames()".

PyObject *PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject(PyObject *name, PyObject *co, PyObject *pathname, PyObject *cpathname)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable depuis la version 3.7.*

   Like "PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx()", but the path to any compiled
   file via *cpathname* is used appropriately when non-"NULL".  Of the
   three functions, this is the preferred one to use.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.3.

   Modifié dans la version 3.12: Setting "__cached__" is deprecated.
   See "ModuleSpec" for alternatives.

   Modifié dans la version 3.15: "__cached__" no longer set.

PyObject *PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames(const char *name, PyObject *co, const char *pathname, const char *cpathname)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   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".

   Ajouté dans la version 3.2.

   Modifié dans la version 3.3: Uses "imp.source_from_cache()" in
   calculating the source path if only the bytecode path is provided.

   Modifié dans la version 3.12: No longer uses the removed "imp"
   module.

long PyImport_GetMagicNumber()
    * Fait partie de l' ABI stable.*

   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.

   Modifié dans la version 3.3: Return value of "-1" upon failure.

const char *PyImport_GetMagicTag()
    * Fait partie de l' ABI stable.*

   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.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.2.

PyObject *PyImport_GetModuleDict()
    *Valeur de retour : référence empruntée.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   Return the dictionary used for the module administration (a.k.a.
   "sys.modules").  Note that this is a per-interpreter variable.

PyObject *PyImport_GetModule(PyObject *name)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable depuis la version 3.8.*

   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.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.7.

PyObject *PyImport_GetImporter(PyObject *path)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Fait partie de l' ABI
   stable.*

   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 wasn't 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.

int PyImport_ImportFrozenModuleObject(PyObject *name)
    * Fait partie de l' ABI stable depuis la version 3.7.*

   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
   --- this function would reload the module if it was already
   imported.)

   Ajouté dans la version 3.3.

   Modifié dans la version 3.4: The "__file__" attribute is no longer
   set on the module.

int PyImport_ImportFrozenModule(const char *name)
    * Fait partie de l' ABI stable.*

   Similar to "PyImport_ImportFrozenModuleObject()", but the name is a
   UTF-8 encoded string instead of a Unicode object.

struct _frozen

   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;
      };

   Modifié dans la 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.

const struct _frozen *PyImport_FrozenModules

   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.

int PyImport_AppendInittab(const char *name, PyObject *(*initfunc)(void))
    * Fait partie de l' ABI stable.*

   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()".

struct _inittab

   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:

   const char *name

      The module name, as an ASCII encoded string.

   PyObject *(*initfunc)(void)

      Initialization function for a module built into the interpreter.

int PyImport_ExtendInittab(struct _inittab *newtab)

   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.

struct _inittab *PyImport_Inittab

   The table of built-in modules used by Python initialization. Do not
   use this directly; use "PyImport_AppendInittab()" and
   "PyImport_ExtendInittab()" instead.

PyObject *PyImport_ImportModuleAttr(PyObject *mod_name, PyObject *attr_name)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.*

   Import the module *mod_name* and get its attribute *attr_name*.

   Names must be Python "str" objects.

   Helper function combining "PyImport_Import()" and
   "PyObject_GetAttr()". For example, it can raise "ImportError" if
   the module is not found, and "AttributeError" if the attribute
   doesn't exist.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.14.

PyObject *PyImport_ImportModuleAttrString(const char *mod_name, const char *attr_name)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.*

   Similar to "PyImport_ImportModuleAttr()", but names are UTF-8
   encoded strings instead of Python "str" objects.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.14.

PyImport_LazyImportsMode PyImport_GetLazyImportsMode()

   Gets the current lazy imports mode.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.15.

PyObject *PyImport_GetLazyImportsFilter()

   Return a *strong reference* to the current lazy imports filter, or
   "NULL" if none exists. This function always succeeds.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.15.

int PyImport_SetLazyImportsMode(PyImport_LazyImportsMode mode)

   Similar to "PyImport_ImportModuleAttr()", but names are UTF-8
   encoded strings instead of Python "str" objects.

   This function always returns "0".

   Ajouté dans la version 3.15.

int PyImport_SetLazyImportsFilter(PyObject *filter)

   Sets the current lazy imports filter. The *filter* should be a
   callable that will receive "(importing_module_name,
   imported_module_name, [fromlist])" when an import can potentially
   be lazy. The "imported_module_name" value is the resolved module
   name, so "lazy from .spam import eggs" passes "package.spam". The
   callable must return "True" if the import should be lazy and
   "False" otherwise.

   Return "0" on success and "-1" with an exception set otherwise.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.15.

type PyImport_LazyImportsMode

   Enumeration of possible lazy import modes.

   enumerator PyImport_LAZY_NORMAL

      Respect the "lazy" keyword in source code. This is the default
      mode.

   enumerator PyImport_LAZY_ALL

      Make all imports lazy by default.

   enumerator PyImport_LAZY_NONE

      Disable lazy imports entirely. Even explicit "lazy" statements
      become eager imports.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.15.

PyObject *PyImport_CreateModuleFromInitfunc(PyObject *spec, PyObject *(*initfunc)(void))

   This function is a building block that enables embedders to
   implement the "create_module()" step of custom static extension
   importers (e.g. of statically-linked extensions).

   *spec* must be a "ModuleSpec" object.

   *initfunc* must be an initialization function, the same as for
   "PyImport_AppendInittab()".

   On success, create and return a module object. This module will not
   be initialized; call "PyModule_Exec()" to initialize it. (Custom
   importers should do this in their "exec_module()" method.)

   On error, return NULL with an exception set.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.15.
