| 56 | 3.22 <tt class="module">zipimport</tt> --\r | |
| 57 | Import modules from Zip archives</A> | |
| 58 | </H1> | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | <P> | |
| 61 | <A NAME="module-zipimport"></A> | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | <P> | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | <span class="versionnote">New in version 2.3.</span> | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | <P> | |
| 68 | This module adds the ability to import Python modules (<span class="file">*.py</span>,\r | |
| 69 | <span class="file">*.py[co]</span>) and packages from ZIP-format archives. It is usually\r | |
| 70 | not needed to use the <tt class="module">zipimport</tt> module explicitly; it is\r | |
| 71 | automatically used by the builtin <tt class="keyword">import</tt> mechanism for\r | |
| 72 | <code>sys.path</code> items that are paths to ZIP archives. | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | <P> | |
| 75 | Typically, <code>sys.path</code> is a list of directory names as strings. This\r | |
| 76 | module also allows an item of <code>sys.path</code> to be a string naming a ZIP\r | |
| 77 | file archive. The ZIP archive can contain a subdirectory structure to\r | |
| 78 | support package imports, and a path within the archive can be specified to\r | |
| 79 | only import from a subdirectory. For example, the path\r | |
| 80 | <span class="file">/tmp/example.zip/lib/</span> would only import from the\r | |
| 81 | <span class="file">lib/</span> subdirectory within the archive. | |
| 82 | ||
| 83 | <P> | |
| 84 | Any files may be present in the ZIP archive, but only files <span class="file">.py</span> and\r | |
| 85 | <span class="file">.py[co]</span> are available for import. ZIP import of dynamic modules\r | |
| 86 | (<span class="file">.pyd</span>, <span class="file">.so</span>) is disallowed. Note that if an archive only\r | |
| 87 | contains <span class="file">.py</span> files, Python will not attempt to modify the archive\r | |
| 88 | by adding the corresponding <span class="file">.pyc</span> or <span class="file">.pyo</span> file, meaning that\r | |
| 89 | if a ZIP archive doesn't contain <span class="file">.pyc</span> files, importing may be rather\r | |
| 90 | slow. | |
| 91 | ||
| 92 | <P> | |
| 93 | Using the built-in <tt class="function">reload()</tt> function will\r | |
| 94 | fail if called on a module loaded from a ZIP archive; it is unlikely that\r | |
| 95 | <tt class="function">reload()</tt> would be needed, since this would imply that the ZIP\r | |
| 96 | has been altered during runtime. | |
