41. Módulos Não Documentados

Aqui está uma lista rápida de módulos que não estão documentados no momento, mas que devem ser documentados. Sinta-se à vontade para contribuir com documentação para eles! (Envie por e-mail para docs@python.org.)

A ideia e o conteúdo original deste capítulo foram retirados de uma publicação de Fredrik Lundh; o conteúdo específico deste capítulo foi substancialmente revisado.

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. Módulos para plataformas específicas

Estes módulos são utilizados para implementar o módulo os.path e não estão documentados além desta menção. Há pouca necessidade de documentar isso.

ntpath

— Implementation of os.path on Win32, Win64, WinCE, and OS/2 platforms.

posixpath

— Implementação de os.path no 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

Obsoleto desde a versão 2.6.

41.4.2. buildtools — Helper module for BuildApplet and Friends

Obsoleto desde a versão 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.

Obsoleto desde a versão 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.

Obsoleto desde a versão 2.6.

41.4.5. macerrors — Mac OS Errors

macerrors contains constant definitions for many Mac OS error codes.

Obsoleto desde a versão 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.

Obsoleto desde a versão 2.6.

41.4.7. Nav — NavServices calls

A low-level interface to Navigation Services.

Obsoleto desde a versão 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.

Obsoleto desde a versão 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.

Obsoleto desde a versão 2.6.

41.4.10. W — Widgets built on FrameWork

The W widgets are used extensively in the IDE.

Obsoleto desde a versão 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.
