## Class imp

- java.lang.Object
- - org.python.core.imp

    public class imp
    extends java.lang.Object

Utility functions for "import" support. Note that this class tries to match the names of the corresponding functions from CPython's Python/import.c. In these cases we use CPython's function naming style (underscores and all lowercase) instead of Java's typical camelCase style so that it's easier to compare with import.c.

### Method Detail

#### getSyspathJavaLoader

    public static java.lang.ClassLoader getSyspathJavaLoader()

#### getParentClassLoader

    public static java.lang.ClassLoader getParentClassLoader()

Selects the parent class loader for Jython, to be used for dynamically loaded classes and resources. Chooses between the current and context class loader based on the following criteria:

- If both are the same class loader, return that class loader.
- If either is null, then the non-null one is selected.
- If both are not null, and a parent/child relationship can be determined, then the child is selected.
- If both are not null and not on a parent/child relationship, then the current class loader is returned (since it is likely for the context class loader to not see the Jython classes)

Returns:
  the parent class loader for Jython or null if both the current and context class loaders are null.

#### addModule

    public static PyModule addModule(java.lang.String name)

If the given name is found in sys.modules, the entry from there is returned. Otherwise a new `PyModule` is created for the name and added to `sys.modules`. Creating the module does not execute the body of the module to initialise its attributes.

Parameters:
  `name` - fully-qualified name of the module
Returns:
  created `PyModule`

#### createFromCode

    public static PyObject createFromCode(java.lang.String name,

Return a Python module with the given `name` whose attributes are the result of running `PyCode c`. If `moduleLocation != null` it is used to set `__file__` .

In normal circumstances, if `c` comes from a local `.py` file or compiled `$py.class` class the caller should should set `moduleLocation` to something like `new File(moduleLocation).getAbsolutePath()`. If `c` comes from a remote file or is a JAR, `moduleLocation` should be the full URI for that source or class.

  `moduleLocation` - to become `__file__` if not `null`
Returns:

    public static boolean caseok(java.io.File file,
                                 java.lang.String filename)

Check that the canonical name of `file` matches `filename`, case-sensitively, even when the OS platform is case-insensitive. This is used to obtain as a check during import on platforms (Windows) that may be case-insensitive regarding file open. It is assumed that `file` was derived from attempting to find `filename`, so it returns `true` on a case-sensitive platform.

Algorithmically, we return `true` if any of the following is true:

- `Options.caseok` is `true` (default is `false`).
- The platform is case sensitive (according to `PlatformUtil.isCaseInsensitive()`)
- The name part of the canonical path of `file` starts with `filename`
- The name of any sibling (in the same directory as) `file` equals `filename`

and false otherwise.

Parameters:
  `file` - to be tested
  `filename` - to be matched
Returns:
  `file` matches `filename`

A wrapper for `Py.fileSystemDecode(PyObject)` for project internal use within the import mechanism to convert decoding errors that occur during import to either `null` or `Py.ImportError(String)` calls (and a log message), which usually results in quiet failure.

Parameters:
  `name` - the fully-qualified name of the package/module to import
