<p><strong>Source code:</strong> <a class="extlink-source reference external" href="https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.13/Lib/codeop.py">Lib/codeop.py</a></p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-codeop" title="codeop: Compile (possibly incomplete) Python code."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">codeop</span></code></a> module provides utilities upon which the Python
read-eval-print loop can be emulated, as is done in the <a class="reference internal" href="code.html#module-code" title="code: Facilities to implement read-eval-print loops."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">code</span></code></a> module. As
a result, you probably dont want to use the module directly; if you want to
include such a loop in your program you probably want to use the <a class="reference internal" href="code.html#module-code" title="code: Facilities to implement read-eval-print loops."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">code</span></code></a>
module instead.</p>
<p>There are two parts to this job:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Being able to tell if a line of input completes a Python statement: in
short, telling whether to print <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&gt;&gt;&gt;</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">...</span></code> next.</p></li>
<li><p>Remembering which future statements the user has entered, so subsequent
input can be compiled with these in effect.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-codeop" title="codeop: Compile (possibly incomplete) Python code."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">codeop</span></code></a> module provides a way of doing each of these things, and a way
of doing them both.</p>
<p>To do just the former:</p>
<dl class="py function">
<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="codeop.compile_command">
<span class="sig-prename descclassname"><span class="pre">codeop.</span></span><span class="sig-name descname"><span class="pre">compile_command</span></span><span class="sig-paren">(</span><em class="sig-param"><span class="n"><span class="pre">source</span></span></em>, <em class="sig-param"><span class="n"><span class="pre">filename</span></span><span class="o"><span class="pre">=</span></span><span class="default_value"><span class="pre">'&lt;input&gt;'</span></span></em>, <em class="sig-param"><span class="n"><span class="pre">symbol</span></span><span class="o"><span class="pre">=</span></span><span class="default_value"><span class="pre">'single'</span></span></em><span class="sig-paren">)</span><a class="headerlink" href="#codeop.compile_command" title="Link to this definition"></a></dt>
<dd><p>Tries to compile <em>source</em>, which should be a string of Python code and return a
code object if <em>source</em> is valid Python code. In that case, the filename
attribute of the code object will be <em>filename</em>, which defaults to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'&lt;input&gt;'</span></code>. Returns <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code> if <em>source</em> is <em>not</em> valid Python code, but is a
prefix of valid Python code.</p>
<p>If there is a problem with <em>source</em>, an exception will be raised.
<a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#SyntaxError" title="SyntaxError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SyntaxError</span></code></a> is raised if there is invalid Python syntax, and
<a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#OverflowError" title="OverflowError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OverflowError</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#ValueError" title="ValueError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ValueError</span></code></a> if there is an invalid literal.</p>
<p>The <em>symbol</em> argument determines whether <em>source</em> is compiled as a statement
(<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'single'</span></code>, the default), as a sequence of <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-statement"><span class="xref std std-term">statement</span></a> (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'exec'</span></code>) or
as an <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-expression"><span class="xref std std-term">expression</span></a> (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'eval'</span></code>). Any other value will
cause <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#ValueError" title="ValueError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ValueError</span></code></a> to be raised.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>It is possible (but not likely) that the parser stops parsing with a
successful outcome before reaching the end of the source; in this case,
trailing symbols may be ignored instead of causing an error. For example,
a backslash followed by two newlines may be followed by arbitrary garbage.
This will be fixed once the API for the parser is better.</p>
