Locate python object definition in your file-system
Project description
================
Welcome to pyloc
================
*pyloc* prints the location of the definition of any python object in
your file-system.
Introduction
============
*pyloc* is very similar to what ``python3 -m inspect -d <object>``
offers. However, it is only focused to retrieve the file name (and
eventually the line number) defining a given Python object. The object
can be a package, module, class, method or function.
*pyloc* makes some further effort to figure out the line and column number and
its outputs is formatted so that it can easily be passed to ``emacsclient``
or ``vi``.
*pyloc* works with Python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.
Examples
========
You can see the location of ``Popen.wait`` method in the sub-process package::
$ python -m pyloc -f human subprocess:Popen.wait
Filename: /Users/polrop/.pyenv/versions/2.7.9/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py
Line: 1379
$ python -m pyloc -f human email.utils:formataddr
Filename: /Users/polrop/.pyenv/versions/2.7.9/lib/python2.7/email/utils.py
Line: 85
(Output may be different on your system since you have different
installation path and version)
Note that the object naming syntax is as follow: ``module[:qualname]``
To open it in Emacs you can do::
$ emacsclient `python -m pyloc -f emacs subprocess:Popen.wait`
or in vim::
$ vim `python -m pyloc -f vi subprocess:Popen.wait`
If you are lazy typing ``-f <format>`` all the time and you often use
the same format, you can set the default output format this way (you
can add this line in your ``.zshenv`` or ``.bashrc``)::
$ export PYLOC_DEFAULT_FORMAT=emacs
*pyloc* will always locate object based on the ``python`` interpreter
your are using::
$ python3 -m pyloc -f human subprocess:Popen.wait
Filename: /Users/polrop/.pyenv/versions/3.4.3/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py
Line: 1526
$ /usr/local/bin/python -m pyloc -f human email.utils:formataddr
Filename: /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/email/utils.py
Line: 85
$ /usr/bin/python -m pyloc -f human email.utils:formataddr
Filename: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/email/utils.py
Line: 85
Installation
============
pip
---
You can install _pyloc_ using ``pip`` like this::
$ pip install pyloc
or::
$ pip3 install pyloc
>From source
-----------
Clone this repository and run::
$ python setup.py develop
Known bugs
==========
* Class or built-in types like int or str do not contain location
information. In this case *pyloc* tries to look for the name in the
AST. Since procedure may not be accurate since Python is a dynamic
language.
Hacking
