|
||||
The \module{tokenize} module provides a lexical scanner for Python
|
||||
source code, implemented in Python. The scanner in this module
|
||||
returns comments as tokens as well, making it useful for implementing
|
||||
``pretty-printers,'' including colorizers for on-screen displays.
|
||||
|
||||
The scanner is exposed via single function:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{funcdesc}{tokenize}{readline\optional{, tokeneater}}
|
||||
The \function{tokenize()} function accepts two parameters: one
|
||||
representing the input stream, and one providing an output mechanism
|
||||
for \function{tokenize()}.
|
||||
|
||||
The first parameter, \var{readline}, must be a callable object which
|
||||
provides the same interface as \method{readline()} method of
|
||||
built-in file objects (see section~\ref{bltin-file-objects}). Each
|
||||
call to the function should return one line of input as a string.
|
||||
|
||||
The second parameter, \var{tokeneater}, must also be a callable
|
||||
object. It is called with five parameters: the token type, the
|
||||
token string, a tuple \code{(\var{srow}, \var{scol})} specifying the
|
||||
row and column where the token begins in the source, a tuple
|
||||
\code{(\var{erow}, \var{ecol})} giving the ending position of the
|
||||
token, and the line on which the token was found. The line passed
|
||||
is the \emph{logical} line; continuation lines are included.
|
||||
\end{funcdesc}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
All constants from the \refmodule{token} module are also exported from
|
||||
\module{tokenize}, as is one additional token type value that might be
|
||||
passed to the \var{tokeneater} function by \function{tokenize()}:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{datadesc}{COMMENT}
|
||||
Token value used to indicate a comment.
|
||||
\end{datadesc}
