Unix whereis-like python script and package to find the source file of python object (package, module, function, class ...).
Project description
Summary
Locate a python object (package, module, function, class …) source file.
Usage
pywhereis [-v] [-s] dotted_name...
CMD line Examples
The pywhereis script accept a package, module, function or a class
$ pywhereis shlex shlex: /usr/lib/python2.7/shlex.py $ pywhereis os.path.abspath os.path.abspath: /usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py 337
You can pass more than one dotted-name to it
$ pywhereis shlex inspect.ismodule shlex: /usr/lib/python2.7/shlex.py inspect.ismodule: /usr/lib/python2.7/inspect.py 51
If the name is a function, class or method the result will contain the line number where the object is defined
$ pywhereis unittest.TestCase.assertEqual unittest.TestCase.assertEqual: /usr/lib/python2.7/unittest.py 344
It will fail localizing object that are not pure python
$ pywhereis.py sys sys:
For more info about why the localization fail you can use the verbose mode
$ pywhereis -v sys sys: Error: <module 'sys' (built-in)> is not pure python.
If it’s run with -s, –site-packages option the script will check first in site-packages instead of the default which is to check in the current dir first
$ cd ~ ; touch os.py $ pywhereis os os: /home/mouad/os.py $ pywhereis -s os os: /usr/lib/python2.7/os.py
Note: Option only available for python3.2 and below !
For python2.7 and above you can also do
$ python2.7 -mpywhereis subprocess.Popen subprocess.Popen: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py 33
Note: The above will only work if pywhereis was installed in that python version.
Of course you can still search in a different python version by running this script using that python
$ python3.4 $(which pywhereis) html html: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/html/__init__.py
Code Examples
This package come also with a python package whereis that can be used like so
>>> import whereis >>> whereis.resolve('sys') <module 'sys' (built-in)> >>> whereis.locate('os') '/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py'
CHANGES
0.3
Fixing bug _issue#2: https://bitbucket.org/mouad/pywhereis/issue/2, This mean that user can install pywhereis once in any Python version, and use it everywhere i.e. with other python versions or inside virtualenv … , This work for now with only POSIX compliant system.
BUGFIX: Fix locating not pure Python modules, bug noticed when trying to locate lxml.etree.XPath.
Add support to Python3.4 and Python3.3.
Change versioning instead of 0.0.2 now it’s 0.3.
Backward incompatibilty change: pywhereis return now the real path instead of symlink.
0.0.2
Add support to locating zip archive and eggs modules.
Add a new argument -s, –site-packages that enable looking in site-packages directory before current directory.
BUGFIX: Fix whereis.resolve to always raise ImportError even if the module that we are searching for is broken (SyntaxError …), the same with whereis.locate.
0.0.1
First release.
