Inheritance:

Methods of Archive:

__init__
def __init__(self, path=None, start=0)

Initialize an Archive. If path is omitted, it will be an empty Archive.

checkmagic
def checkmagic(self)

Overridable. Check to see if the file object self.lib actually has a file we understand.

contents
def contents(self)

Return a list of the contents Default implementation assumes self.toc is a dict like object. Not required by ArchiveImporter.

extract
def extract(self, name)

Get the object corresponding to name, or None. For use with imputil ArchiveImporter, object is a python code object. 'name' is the name as specified in an 'import name'. 'import a.b' will become: extract('a') (return None because 'a' is not a code object) extract('a.__init__') (return a code object) extract('a.b') (return a code object) Default implementation: self.toc is a dict self.toc[name] is pos self.lib has the code object marshal-ed at pos

get_code
def get_code(self, parent, modname, fqname)

Undocumented function.

loadtoc
def loadtoc(self)

Overridable.
Default: After magic comes an int (4 byte native) giving the position of the TOC within self.lib.
Default: The TOC is a marshal-able string.
