runpy --- Python モジュールの位置特定と実行

ソースコード: Lib/runpy.py

---

The runpy module is used to locate and run Python modules without importing them first. Its main use is to implement the -m command line switch that allows scripts to be located using the Python module namespace rather than the filesystem.

これはサンドボックスモジュール ではない ことに注意してください。すべてのコードは現在のプロセスで実行され、あらゆる副作用 (たとえば他のモジュールのキャッシュされたインポート等) は関数から戻った後にそのまま残ります。

Furthermore, any functions and classes defined by the executed code are not guaranteed to work correctly after a runpy function has returned. If that limitation is not acceptable for a given use case, importlib is likely to be a more suitable choice than this module.

The runpy module provides two functions:

runpy.run_module(mod_name, init_globals=None, run_name=None, alter_sys=False)

Execute the code of the specified module and return the resulting module's globals dictionary. The module's code is first located using the standard import mechanism (refer to PEP 302 for details) and then executed in a fresh module namespace.

The mod_name argument should be an absolute module name. If the module name refers to a package rather than a normal module, then that package is imported and the __main__ submodule within that package is then executed and the resulting module globals dictionary returned.

The optional dictionary argument init_globals may be used to pre-populate the module's globals dictionary before the code is executed. init_globals will not be modified. If any of the special global variables below are defined in init_globals, those definitions are overridden by run_module().

The special global variables __name__, __spec__, __file__, __cached__, __loader__ and __package__ are set in the globals dictionary before the module code is executed. (Note that this is a minimal set of variables - other variables may be set implicitly as an interpreter implementation detail.)

__name__ は、オプション引数 run_name が None でない場合、指定されたモジュールがパッケージであれば mod_name + '.__main__' に、そうでなければ mod_name 引数の値がセットされます。

__spec__ will be set appropriately for the actually imported module (that is, __spec__.name will always be mod_name or mod_name + '.__main__', never run_name).

__file__, __cached__, __loader__ and __package__ are set as normal based on the module spec.

引数 alter_sys が与えられて True に評価されるならば、 sys.argv[0] は __file__ の値で更新され sys.modules[__name__] は実行されるモジュールの一時的モジュールオブジェクトで更新されます。 sys.argv[0] と sys.modules[__name__] はどちらも関数が処理を戻す前にもとの値に復旧します。

Note that this manipulation of sys is not thread-safe. Other threads may see the partially initialised module, as well as the altered list of arguments. It is recommended that the sys module be left alone when invoking this function from threaded code.

バージョン 3.1 で変更: Added ability to execute packages by looking for a __main__ submodule.

バージョン 3.2 で変更: __cached__ グローバル変数が追加されました (PEP 3147 を参照)。

バージョン 3.4 で変更: Updated to take advantage of the module spec feature added by PEP 451. This allows __cached__ to be set correctly for modules run this way, as well as ensuring the real module name is always accessible as __spec__.name.

バージョン 3.12 で変更: The setting of __cached__, __loader__, and __package__ are deprecated. See ModuleSpec for alternatives.

runpy.run_path(path_name, init_globals=None, run_name=None)

Execute the code at the named filesystem location and return the resulting module's globals dictionary. As with a script name supplied to the CPython command line, file_path may refer to a Python source file, a compiled bytecode file or a valid sys.path entry containing a __main__ module (e.g. a zipfile containing a top-level __main__.py file).

For a simple script, the specified code is simply executed in a fresh module namespace. For a valid sys.path entry (typically a zipfile or directory), the entry is first added to the beginning of sys.path. The function then looks for and executes a __main__ module using the updated path. Note that there is no special protection against invoking an existing __main__ entry located elsewhere on sys.path if there is no such module at the specified location.

The optional dictionary argument init_globals may be used to pre-populate the module's globals dictionary before the code is executed. init_globals will not be modified. If any of the special global variables below are defined in init_globals, those definitions are overridden by run_path().

The special global variables __name__, __spec__, __file__, __cached__, __loader__ and __package__ are set in the globals dictionary before the module code is executed. (Note that this is a minimal set of variables - other variables may be set implicitly as an interpreter implementation detail.)

__name__ は、オプション引数 run_name が None でない場合、 run_name に設定され、それ以外の場合は '<run_path>' に設定されます。

If file_path directly references a script file (whether as source or as precompiled byte code), then __file__ will be set to file_path, and __spec__, __cached__, __loader__ and __package__ will all be set to None.

If file_path is a reference to a valid sys.path entry, then __spec__ will be set appropriately for the imported __main__ module (that is, __spec__.name will always be __main__). __file__, __cached__, __loader__ and __package__ will be set as normal based on the module spec.

A number of alterations are also made to the sys module. Firstly, sys.path may be altered as described above. sys.argv[0] is updated with the value of file_path and sys.modules[__name__] is updated with a temporary module object for the module being executed. All modifications to items in sys are reverted before the function returns.

Note that, unlike run_module(), the alterations made to sys are not optional in this function as these adjustments are essential to allowing the execution of sys.path entries. As the thread-safety limitations still apply, use of this function in threaded code should be either serialised with the import lock or delegated to a separate process.

Added in version 3.2.

バージョン 3.4 で変更: Updated to take advantage of the module spec feature added by PEP 451. This allows __cached__ to be set correctly in the case where __main__ is imported from a valid sys.path entry rather than being executed directly.

バージョン 3.12 で変更: The setting of __cached__, __loader__, and __package__ are deprecated.
