a python refactoring library...
Project description
Overview
Rope is a python refactoring library.
New Features
added “use function” refactoring
completing names after from-imports
adding resources parameter to some refactorings
added rope.contrib.autoimport module
handling unsure matches in restructurings
deprecated in_file argument of Rename.get_changes()
Use Function Refactoring
It tries to find the places in which a function can be used and changes the code to call it instead. For instance if mod1 is:
def square(p):
return p ** 2
my_var = 3 ** 2
and mod2 is:
another_var = 4 ** 2
if we perform “use function” on square function, mod1 will be:
def square(p):
return p ** 2
my_var = square(3)
and mod2 will be:
import mod1 another_var = mod1.square(4)
(Example from the mailing list)
Completing Names After From Imports
rope.base.codeassist.code_assist now completes the names after from-imports, too. For instance completing:
from shutil import rm
will propose rmtree.
Refactoring Resources Parameter
I’ve added a new parameter to some refactorings, restructure and find occurrences called resources. If it is a list of Files, all other resources in the project are ignored and the refactoring only analyzes them; if it is None all python module in the project will be analyzed. Using this parameter, IDEs can let the user limit the files on which a refactoring should be applied.
I’ve also deprecated the “in_file” parameter of rename refactoring; resources can be used instead.
Auto-Importing
rope.contrib.autoimport module has been added. This module can be used to find the modules that provide a name. IDEs can use this module to auto-import names. AutoImport.get_modules() returns the list of modules with the given global name. AutoImport.import_assist() tries to find the modules that have a global name that starts with the given prefix.
