Details¶

class GModule.Module¶

The GModule.Module struct is an opaque data structure to represent adynamically-loaded module. It should only be accessed via the following functions.

classmethod build_path(directory, module_name)[source]¶

Parameters:

directory (str or None) – the directory where the module is. This can beNone or the empty string to indicate that the standard platform-specific directories will be used, though that is not recommended
module_name (str) – the name of the module

Returns:

the complete path of the module, including the standard library prefix and suffix. This should be freed when no longer needed

Return type:

str

A portable way to build the filename of a module. The platform-specific prefix and suffix are added to the filename, if needed, and the result is added to the directory, using the correct separator character.

The directory should specify the directory where the module can be found. It can be None or an empty string to indicate that the module is in a standard platform-specific directory, though this is not recommended since the wrong module may be found.

For example, calling GModule.Module.build_path() on a Linux system with adirectory of /lib and a module_name of “mylibrary” will return/lib/libmylibrary.so. On a Windows system, using \Windows as the directory it will return \Windows\mylibrary.dll.

Deprecated since version 2.76: Use g_module_open() instead with module_name as the basename of the file_name argument. See GLib.MODULE_SUFFIX for why.

classmethod error()[source]¶

Returns:

a string describing the last module error

Return type:

str

Gets a string describing the last module error.

classmethod error_quark()[source]¶

Return type:

int

classmethod supported()[source]¶

Returns:

True if modules are supported
