Cache lines and file information which are generally Python programs
Project description
SYNOPSIS
The pyficache module allows one to get any line from any file, caching lines of the file on first access to the file. Although the file may be any file, the common use is when the file is a Python script since parsing of the file is done to figure out where the statement boundaries are.
The routines here may be is useful when a small random sets of lines are read from a single file, in particular in a debugger to show source lines.
Summary
import pyficache
lines = pyficache.getlines('/tmp/myprogram.py')
line = pyficache.getline('/tmp/myprogram.py', 6)
# Note lines[6] == line if /tmp/myprogram.py has more 6 or more lines
pyficache.clear_file_cache()
pyficache.clear_file_cache('/tmp/myprogram.py')
pyficache.update_cache() # Check for modifications of all cached files.
Credits
This is a port of the my Ruby linecache module which in turn is based on the Python linecache module.
coverage provides the cool stuff to figure out lines where there statements.
