|
||
<p>This module leverages Python’s import system to provide access to <em>resources</em>
|
||
within <em>packages</em>.</p>
|
||
<p>“Resources” are file-like resources associated with a module or package in
|
||
Python. The resources may be contained directly in a package, within a
|
||
subdirectory contained in that package, or adjacent to modules outside a
|
||
package. Resources may be text or binary. As a result, Python module sources
|
||
(.py) of a package and compilation artifacts (pycache) are technically
|
||
de-facto resources of that package. In practice, however, resources are
|
||
primarily those non-Python artifacts exposed specifically by the package
|
||
author.</p>
|
||
<p>Resources can be opened or read in either binary or text mode.</p>
|
||
<p>Resources are roughly akin to files inside directories, though it’s important
|
||
to keep in mind that this is just a metaphor. Resources and packages <strong>do
|
||
not</strong> have to exist as physical files and directories on the file system:
|
||
for example, a package and its resources can be imported from a zip file using
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="zipimport.html#module-zipimport" title="zipimport: Support for importing Python modules from ZIP archives."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zipimport</span></code></a>.</p>

||

The individual components should use forward slashes (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/</span></code>)
|
||
as path separators.
|
||
For example, the following are equivalent:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">importlib</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">resources</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">read_binary</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">my_module</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">"pics/painting.png"</span><span class="p">)</span>

|

</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>For backward compatibility reasons, functions that read text require
|
||
an explicit <em>encoding</em> argument if multiple <em>path_names</em> are given.
|
||
For example, to get the text of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">info/chapter1.txt</span></code>, use:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">importlib</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">resources</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">read_text</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">my_module</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">"info"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">"chapter1.txt"</span><span class="p">,</span>
