10.23 <tt class="module">distutils.text_file</tt> -- The TextFile class</A>
</H1>
<A NAME="module-distutils.textfile"></A>

<P>
This module provides the <tt class="class">TextFile</tt> class, which gives an interface 
to text files that (optionally) takes care of stripping comments, ignoring 
blank lines, and joining lines with backslashes.

<P>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><span class="typelabel">class</span>&nbsp;<tt id='l2h-118' xml:id='l2h-118' class="class">TextFile</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var></var><big>[</big><var>filename=<code>None</code>, file=<code>None</code>, **options</var><big>]</big><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
This class provides a file-like object that takes care of all 
the things you commonly want to do when processing a text file 
that has some line-by-line syntax: strip comments (as long as <code>#</code> 
is your comment character), skip blank lines, join adjacent lines by
escaping the newline (ie. backslash at end of line), strip
leading and/or trailing whitespace.  All of these are optional
and independently controllable.

<P>
The class provides a <tt class="method">warn()</tt> method so you can generate 
warning messages that report physical line number, even if the 
logical line in question spans multiple physical lines.  Also 
provides <tt class="method">unreadline()</tt> for implementing line-at-a-time lookahead.

<P>
<tt class="class">TextFile</tt> instances are create with either <var>filename</var>, <var>file</var>,
or both. <tt class="exception">RuntimeError</tt> is raised if both are <code>None</code>.
<var>filename</var> should be a string, and <var>file</var> a file object (or
something that provides <tt class="method">readline()</tt> and <tt class="method">close()</tt> 
methods).  It is recommended that you supply at least <var>filename</var>, 
so that <tt class="class">TextFile</tt> can include it in warning messages.  If 
<var>file</var> is not supplied, <tt class="class">TextFile</tt> creates its own using the 
<tt class="function">open()</tt> built-in function.

<P>
The options are all boolean, and affect the values returned by
<tt class="method">readline()</tt>

then some lines may consist of solely whitespace: these will
*not* be skipped, even if <var>skip_blanks</var> is true.)</td>

    <tr><td class="center" valign="baseline"><option name>join_lines</option></td>
        <td class="left"  >
if a backslash is the last non-newline character on a line

        <td class="left"  >false</td></tr></tbody>
</table></div>

<P>
Note that since <var>rstrip_ws</var> can strip the trailing newline, the
semantics of <tt class="method">readline()</tt> must differ from those of the builtin file
object's <tt class="method">readline()</tt> method!  In particular, <tt class="method">readline()</tt> 
returns <code>None</code> for end-of-file: an empty string might just be a 
blank line (or an all-whitespace line), if <var>rstrip_ws</var> is true 
but <var>skip_blanks</var> is not.

<P>

Open a new file <var>filename</var>. This overrides any <var>file</var> or

Close the current file and forget everything we know about it (including
the filename and the current line number).
</dl>

  <td><var>msg</var><big>[</big><var>,line=<code>None</code></var><big>]</big><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Print (to stderr) a warning message tied to the current logical
line in the current file.  If the current logical line in the
file spans multiple physical lines, the warning refers to the
whole range, such as "<tt class="samp">"lines 3-5"</tt>".  If <var>line</var> is supplied, 
it overrides the current line number; it may be a list or tuple 
to indicate a range of physical lines, or an integer for a 
single physical line.
</dl>

<P>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">

<dd>
Read and return a single logical line from the current file (or
from an internal buffer if lines have previously been ``unread''
with <tt class="method">unreadline()</tt>).  If the <var>join_lines</var> option 
is true, this may involve reading multiple physical lines 
concatenated into a single string.  Updates the current line number, 
so calling <tt class="method">warn()</tt> after <tt class="method">readline()</tt> emits a warning 
about the physical line(s) just read.  Returns <code>None</code> on end-of-file, 
since the empty string can occur if <var>rstrip_ws</var> is true but 
<var>strip_blanks</var> is not.
</dl>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-123' xml:id='l2h-123' class="method">readlines</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Read and return the list of all logical lines remaining in the current file.
This updates the current line number to the last line of the file.
</dl>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-124' xml:id='l2h-124' class="method">unreadline</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var>line</var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Push <var>line</var> (a string) onto an internal buffer that will be
checked by future <tt class="method">readline()</tt> calls.  Handy for implementing
a parser with line-at-a-time lookahead. Note that lines that are ``unread''
with <tt class="method">unreadline</tt> are not subsequently re-cleansed (whitespace 
stripped, or whatever) when read with <tt class="method">readline</tt>. If multiple
calls are made to <tt class="method">unreadline</tt> before a call to <tt class="method">readline</tt>,
the lines will be returned most in most recent first order.

173	Print (to stderr) a warning message tied to the current logical
174	line in the current file. If the current logical line in the
175	file spans multiple physical lines, the warning refers to the
176	whole range, such as "<tt class="samp">"lines 3-5"</tt>". If <var>line</var> is supplied,
177	it overrides the current line number; it may be a list or tuple
178	to indicate a range of physical lines, or an integer for a
179	single physical line.

186	<dd>
187	Read and return a single logical line from the current file (or
188	from an internal buffer if lines have previously been ``unread''
189	with <tt class="method">unreadline()</tt>). If the <var>join_lines</var> option
190	is true, this may involve reading multiple physical lines
191	concatenated into a single string. Updates the current line number,
192	so calling <tt class="method">warn()</tt> after <tt class="method">readline()</tt> emits a warning
193	about the physical line(s) just read. Returns <code>None</code> on end-of-file,
194	since the empty string can occur if <var>rstrip_ws</var> is true but
195	<var>strip_blanks</var> is not.

200	<dd>
201	Read and return the list of all logical lines remaining in the current file.
202	This updates the current line number to the last line of the file.

207	<dd>
208	Push <var>line</var> (a string) onto an internal buffer that will be
209	checked by future <tt class="method">readline()</tt> calls. Handy for implementing
210	a parser with line-at-a-time lookahead. Note that lines that are ``unread''
211	with <tt class="method">unreadline</tt> are not subsequently re-cleansed (whitespace
212	stripped, or whatever) when read with <tt class="method">readline</tt>. If multiple
213	calls are made to <tt class="method">unreadline</tt> before a call to <tt class="method">readline</tt>,
214	the lines will be returned most in most recent first order.
