Extractor

from panda3d.core import Extractor
class Extractor

Bases:

This class automatically extracts the contents of a Multifile to the current directory (or to a specified directory) in the background.

It is designed to limit its use of system resources and run unobtrusively in the background. After specifying the files you wish to extract via repeated calls to requestSubfile(), begin the process by calling run() repeatedly. Each call to run() extracts another small portion of the Multifile. Call run() whenever you have spare cycles until run() returns EU_success.

Inheritance diagram of Extractor

__init__()
getProgress() → float

Returns the fraction of the Multifile extracted so far.

property progress → float

Returns the fraction of the Multifile extracted so far.

requestAllSubfiles() → int

Requests all subfiles in the Multifile to be extracted. Returns the number requested.

requestSubfile(subfile_name: Filename) → bool

Requests a particular subfile to be extracted when step() or run() is called. Returns true if the subfile exists, false otherwise.

reset()

Interrupts the Extractor in the middle of its business and makes it ready to accept a new list of subfiles to extract.

run() → bool

A convenience function to extract the Multifile all at once, when you don’t care about doing it in the background.

First, call request_file() or request_all_files() to specify the files you would like to extract, then call run() to do the extraction. Also see step() for when you would like the extraction to happen as a background task.

setExtractDir(extract_dir: Filename)

Specifies the directory into which all extracted subfiles will be written. Relative paths of subfiles within the Multifile will be written as relative paths to this directory.

setMultifile(multifile_name: Filename) → bool

Specifies the filename of the Multifile that the Extractor will read. Returns true on success, false if the mulifile name is invalid.

step() → int

After all of the requests have been made via request_file() or requestAllSubfiles(), call step() repeatedly until it stops returning EU_ok.

step() extracts the next small unit of data from the Multifile. Returns EU_ok if progress is continuing, EU_error_abort if there is a problem, or EU_success when the last piece has been extracted.

Also see run().
