Class ImportTimeScope

An ImportTimeScope is any scope that is not nested within a function and will thus be executed if its enclosing module is imported. Note however, that if a scope is not an ImportTimeScope it may still be executed at import time. This is an artificial approximation, which is necessary for static analysis.

Predicates

definesName	Whether this scope explicitly defines ‘name’. Does not cover implicit definitions be import *
entryEdge	Holds if the control flow passes from `outer` to `inner` when this scope starts executing
getOuterVariable	Gets the global variable that is used during lookup, should `var` be undefined.

Inherited predicates

contains		from Scope
containsInScope	Whether this contains `inner` syntactically and `inner` has the same scope as `this`	from Scope
getANormalExit	Gets an exit from this Scope’s control flow graph, that does not result from an exception	from Scope
getAStmt	Gets a top-level statement in this scope	from Scope
getAnExitNode	Gets an exit from this Scope’s control flow graph	from Scope
getBody	Gets the statements forming the body of this scope	from Scope
getDocString	Gets the docstring for this scope	from Scope
getEnclosingModule		from Scope
getEnclosingScope	Gets the scope enclosing this scope (modules have no enclosing scope)	from Scope
getEntryNode	Gets the entry point into this Scope’s control flow graph	from Scope
getEvaluatingScope	Gets the evaluation scope for code in this (lexical) scope. This is usually the scope itself, but may be an enclosing scope. Notably, for list comprehensions in Python 2.	from Scope
getFallthroughNode	Gets the non-explicit exit from this Scope’s control flow graph	from Scope
getLastStatement		from Scope
getLocation		from Scope
getName	Gets the name of this scope	from Scope
getReturnNode	Gets the exit of this scope following from a return statement	from Scope
getScope	Gets the scope enclosing this scope (modules have no enclosing scope).	from Scope
getStmt	Gets the nth statement of this scope	from Scope
inSource	Holds if this scope is in the source archive, that is it is part of the code specified, not library code	from Scope
isPublic	Holds if this scope is deemed to be public	from Scope
isTopLevel	Holds if this a top-level (non-nested) class or function	from Scope
precedes	Holds if this scope can be expected to execute before `other`. Modules precede functions and methods in those modules `__init__` precedes other methods. `__enter__` precedes `__exit__`. NOTE that this is context-insensitive, so a module “precedes” a function in that module, even if that function is called from the module scope.	from Scope
toString	Gets a textual representation of this element.	from Scope_
