These APIs are a minimal emulation of the Python 2 C API for built-in file
objects, which used to rely on the buffered I/O (FILE*) support
from the C standard library. In Python 3, files and streams use the new
io module, which defines several layers over the low-level unbuffered
I/O of the operating system. The functions described below are
convenience C wrappers over these new APIs, and meant mostly for internal
error reporting in the interpreter; third-party code is advised to access
the io APIs instead.
PyFile_FromFd(int fd, const char *name, const char *mode, int buffering, const char *encoding, const char *errors, const char *newline, int closefd)Return value: New reference.
Create a Python file object from the file descriptor of an already
opened file fd. The arguments name, encoding, errors and newline
can be NULL to use the defaults; buffering can be -1 to use the
default. name is ignored and kept for backward compatibility. Return
NULL on failure. For a more comprehensive description of the arguments,
please refer to the io.open() function documentation.
Warning
Since Python streams have their own buffering layer, mixing them with OS-level file descriptors can produce various issues (such as unexpected ordering of data).
Changed in version 3.2: Ignore name attribute.
PyObject_AsFileDescriptor(PyObject *p)int. If the object is an integer, its value is returned. If not, the object’s fileno() method is called if it exists; the method must return an integer, which is returned as the file descriptor value. Sets an exception and returns -1 on failure.PyFile_GetLine(PyObject *p, int n)Return value: New reference.
Equivalent to p.readline([n]), this function reads one line from the
object p. p may be a file object or any object with a
readline()
method. If n is 0, exactly one line is read, regardless of the length of
the line. If n is greater than 0, no more than n bytes will be read
from the file; a partial line can be returned. In both cases, an empty string
is returned if the end of the file is reached immediately. If n is less than
0, however, one line is read regardless of length, but EOFError is
raised if the end of the file is reached immediately.
PyFile_SetOpenCodeHook(Py_OpenCodeHookFunction handler)Overrides the normal behavior of io.open_code() to pass its parameter
through the provided handler.
The handler is a function of type PyObject *(*)(PyObject *path, void *userData), where path is guaranteed to be PyUnicodeObject.
The userData pointer is passed into the hook function. Since hook functions may be called from different runtimes, this pointer should not refer directly to Python state.
As this hook is intentionally used during import, avoid importing new modules
during its execution unless they are known to be frozen or available in
sys.modules.
Once a hook has been set, it cannot be removed or replaced, and later calls to
PyFile_SetOpenCodeHook() will fail. On failure, the function returns
-1 and sets an exception if the interpreter has been initialized.
This function is safe to call before Py_Initialize().
Raises an auditing event setopencodehook with no arguments.
New in version 3.8.
PyFile_WriteObject(PyObject *obj, PyObject *p, int flags)Py_PRINT_RAW; if given, the str() of the object is written instead of the repr(). Return 0 on success or -1 on failure; the appropriate exception will be set.PyFile_WriteString(const char *s, PyObject *p)0 on success or -1 on failure; the appropriate exception will be set.
