import-transforms 0.6.0

No project description provided

import-transforms is a Python library for intercepting and transforming source code at import time. Its main use is unit-syntax, which modifies the Python syntax to support units of measure.

Usage

Transforms are defined by extending import_transforms.SourceTransform. For a small example that adds logging of every single function call, see call_log.py.

To apply a transform to future module imports:

register_module_source_transform("target_module", my_transform)
import target_module # transform applied!

The first argument is a glob-style pattern on the fully-qualified module name:

• "foo" matches just that single module.
• "foo.*" matches all sub-modules of "foo" (but not "foo" itself).
• "*" will match all modules.

As a shorthand to apply a transform to all sub-modules of your package, place this in `init.py``:

register_package_source_transform(__name__, my_transform)
