:mod:`codeop` --- Compile Python code
 | 
						|
=====================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. module:: codeop
 | 
						|
   :synopsis: Compile (possibly incomplete) Python code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>
 | 
						|
.. sectionauthor:: Michael Hudson <mwh@python.net>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/codeop.py`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
--------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The :mod:`codeop` module provides utilities upon which the Python
 | 
						|
read-eval-print loop can be emulated, as is done in the :mod:`code` module.  As
 | 
						|
a result, you probably don't want to use the module directly; if you want to
 | 
						|
include such a loop in your program you probably want to use the :mod:`code`
 | 
						|
module instead.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are two parts to this job:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#. Being able to tell if a line of input completes a Python  statement: in
 | 
						|
   short, telling whether to print '``>>>``' or '``...``' next.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#. Remembering which future statements the user has entered, so  subsequent
 | 
						|
   input can be compiled with these in effect.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The :mod:`codeop` module provides a way of doing each of these things, and a way
 | 
						|
of doing them both.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To do just the former:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. function:: compile_command(source, filename="<input>", symbol="single")
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Tries to compile *source*, which should be a string of Python code and return a
 | 
						|
   code object if *source* is valid Python code. In that case, the filename
 | 
						|
   attribute of the code object will be *filename*, which defaults to
 | 
						|
   ``'<input>'``. Returns ``None`` if *source* is *not* valid Python code, but is a
 | 
						|
   prefix of valid Python code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   If there is a problem with *source*, an exception will be raised.
 | 
						|
   :exc:`SyntaxError` is raised if there is invalid Python syntax, and
 | 
						|
   :exc:`OverflowError` or :exc:`ValueError` if there is an invalid literal.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   The *symbol* argument determines whether *source* is compiled as a statement
 | 
						|
   (``'single'``, the default) or as an :term:`expression` (``'eval'``).  Any
 | 
						|
   other value will cause :exc:`ValueError` to  be raised.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. note::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      It is possible (but not likely) that the parser stops parsing with a
 | 
						|
      successful outcome before reaching the end of the source; in this case,
 | 
						|
      trailing symbols may be ignored instead of causing an error.  For example,
 | 
						|
      a backslash followed by two newlines may be followed by arbitrary garbage.
 | 
						|
      This will be fixed once the API for the parser is better.
 | 
						|

.. class:: Compile()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Instances of this class have :meth:`__call__` methods identical in signature to
 | 
						|
   the built-in function :func:`compile`, but with the difference that if the
 | 
						|
   instance compiles program text containing a :mod:`__future__` statement, the
 | 
						|
   instance 'remembers' and compiles all subsequent program texts with the
 | 
						|
   statement in force.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. class:: CommandCompiler()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Instances of this class have :meth:`__call__` methods identical in signature to
 | 
						|
   :func:`compile_command`; the difference is that if the instance compiles program
 | 
						|
   text containing a ``__future__`` statement, the instance 'remembers' and
 | 
						|
   compiles all subsequent program texts with the statement in force.
