direct.showbase.VFSImporter

from direct.showbase.VFSImporter import VFSCompiledLoader, VFSExtensionLoader, VFSFinder, VFSLoader, VFSNamespaceLoader, VFSSourceLoader, register

The VFS importer allows importing Python modules from Panda3D’s virtual file system, through Python’s standard import mechanism.

Calling the register() function to register the import hooks should be sufficient to enable this functionality.

class VFSFinder(path: str)

Bases: object

This class serves as a Python importer to support loading Python .py and .pyc/.pyo files from Panda’s Virtual File System, which allows loading Python source files from mounted .mf files (among other places).

__init__(self, path: str) → None

find_spec(self, fullname: str, target: module | None = None) → _frozen_importlib.ModuleSpec | None

class VFSLoader(fullname: str, vfile: VirtualFile)

Bases: Loader

__init__(self, fullname: str, vfile: VirtualFile) → None

create_module(self, spec: ModuleSpec) → module | None

Use default semantics for module creation.

exec_module(self, module: module) → None

Execute the module.

get_data(path: str) → bytes

get_filename(self, fullname: str) → str

is_package(self, fullname)

path_mtime(path)

path_stats(path: str) → dict[str, Any]

class VFSNamespaceLoader

Bases: Loader

create_module(self, spec: ModuleSpec) → module | None

Use default semantics for module creation.

exec_module(self, module: module) → None

get_code(self, fullname)

get_source(self, fullname)

is_package(self, fullname)

class VFSSourceLoader(fullname: str, vfile: VirtualFile)

Bases: VFSLoader, SourceLoader

get_source(self, fullname)

register() → None

Register the VFSFinder on the path_hooks, if it has not already been registered, so that future Python import statements will vector through here (and therefore will take advantage of Panda’s virtual file system).
