xmod 1.1.0

Create and recursively fill a temporary directory

(xmod.py, 71-148)

Extend the system module at name with any Python object.

The original module is replaced in sys.modules by a proxy class which delegates attributes, first to the extension, and then to the original module.

xmod can also be used as a decorator, both with and without parameters.

ARGUMENTS

extension

The object whose methods and properties extend the namespace. This includes magic methods like __call__ and __getitem__.

name

The name of this symbol in sys.modules. If this is None then xmod will use extension.__module__.

This only needs to be be set if extension is _not_ a function or class defined in the module that’s being extended.

If the name argument is given, it should almost certainly be __name__.

full

If False, just add extension as a callable. If True, extend the module with all members of extension. If None, add the extension if it’s a callable, otherwise extend the module with all members of extension.

omit

A list of methods _not_ to delegate from the proxy to the extension. If omit is None, it defaults to xmod.OMIT, which seems to work well.
