31.3. "imputil" --- Import utilities
************************************

Ditinggalkan sejak versi 2.6: The "imputil" module has been removed in
Python 3.

This module provides a very handy and useful mechanism for custom
"import" hooks. Compared to the older "ihooks" module, "imputil" takes
a dramatically simpler and more straight-forward approach to custom
"import" functions.

class imputil.ImportManager([fs_imp])

   Manage the import process.

   install([namespace])

      Install this ImportManager into the specified namespace.

   uninstall()

      Restore the previous import mechanism.

   add_suffix(suffix, importFunc)

      Undocumented.

class imputil.Importer

   Base class for replacing standard import functions.

   import_top(name)

      Import a top-level module.

   get_code(parent, modname, fqname)

      Find and retrieve the code for the given module.

      *parent* specifies a parent module to define a context for
      importing. It may be "None", indicating no particular context
      for the search.

      *modname* specifies a single module (not dotted) within the
      parent.

      *fqname* specifies the fully-qualified module name. This is a
      (potentially) dotted name from the "root" of the module
      namespace down to the modname.

      If there is no parent, then modname==fqname.

      This method should return "None", or a 3-tuple.

         * If the module was not found, then "None" should be
           returned.

         * The first item of the 2- or 3-tuple should be the integer
           0 or 1, specifying whether the module that was found is a
           package or not.

         * The second item is the code object for the module (it
           will be executed within the new module's namespace). This
           item can also be a fully-loaded module object (e.g. loaded
           from a shared lib).

         * The third item is a dictionary of name/value pairs that
           will be inserted into new module before the code object is
           executed. This is provided in case the module's code
           expects certain values (such as where the module was
           found). When the second item is a module object, then these
           names/values will be inserted *after* the module has been
           loaded/initialized.

class imputil.BuiltinImporter

   Emulate the import mechanism for built-in and frozen modules.  This
   is a sub-class of the "Importer" class.

   get_code(parent, modname, fqname)

      Undocumented.

imputil.py_suffix_importer(filename, finfo, fqname)

   Undocumented.

class imputil.DynLoadSuffixImporter([desc])

   Undocumented.

   import_file(filename, finfo, fqname)

      Undocumented.


31.3.1. Examples
================

This is a re-implementation of hierarchical module import.

This code is intended to be read, not executed.  However, it does work
-- all you need to do to enable it is "import knee".

(The name is a pun on the clunkier predecessor of this module, "ni".)

in the Python source distribution) for additional examples.
