25 SCons compatibility package for old Python versions
27 This subpackage holds modules that provide backwards-compatible
28 implementations of various things that we'd like to use in SCons but which
29 only show up in later versions of Python than the early, old version(s)
32 This package will be imported by other code:
36 But other code will not generally reference things in this package through
37 the SCons.compat namespace. The modules included here add things to
38 the __builtin__ namespace or the global module list so that the rest
39 of our code can use the objects and names imported here regardless of
42 Simply enough, things that go in the __builtin__ name space come from
45 The rest of the things here will be in individual compatibility modules
46 that are either: 1) suitably modified copies of the future modules that
47 we want to use; or 2) backwards compatible re-implementations of the
48 specific portions of a future module's API that we want to use.
50 GENERAL WARNINGS: Implementations of functions in the SCons.compat
51 modules are *NOT* guaranteed to be fully compliant with these functions in
52 later versions of Python. We are only concerned with adding functionality
53 that we actually use in SCons, so be wary if you lift this code for
54 other uses. (That said, making these more nearly the same as later,
55 official versions is still a desirable goal, we just don't need to be
58 We name the compatibility modules with an initial '_scons_' (for example,
59 _scons_subprocess.py is our compatibility module for subprocess) so
60 that we can still try to import the real module name and fall back to
61 our compatibility module if we get an ImportError. The import_as()
62 function defined below loads the module as the "real" name (without the
63 '_scons'), after which all of the "import {module}" statements in the
64 rest of our code will find our pre-loaded compatibility module.
