Class ModuleFinder

This is a special module finder object that executes a collection of callables when a specific module has been imported. An instance of this is placed in sys.meta_path, which is consulted before sys.modules - allowing us to provide this functionality.

find_module(self, name, path=None)

source code

Called when an import is made. If there are hooks waiting for this module to be imported then we stop the normal import process and manually load the module.

Parameters:

name - The name of the module being imported. @param path The root path of the module (if a package). We ignore this.

Returns:

If we want to hook this module, we return a loader interface (which is this instance again). If not we return None to allow the standard import process to continue.
