1 """icopen patch 2 3 OVERVIEW 4 5 icopen patches MacOS Python to use the Internet Config file mappings to select 6 the type and creator for a file. 7 8 Version 1 released to the public domain 3 November 1999 9 by Oliver Steele (steele (at] cs.brandeis.edu). 10 11 DETAILS 12 13 This patch causes files created by Python's open(filename, 'w') command (and 14 by functions and scripts that call it) to set the type and creator of the file 15 to the type and creator associated with filename's extension (the 16 portion of the filename after the last period), according to Internet Config. 17 Thus, a script that creates a file foo.html will create one that opens in whatever 18 browser you've set to handle *.html files, and so on. 19 20 Python IDE uses its own algorithm to select the type and creator for saved 21 editor windows, so this patch won't effect their types. 22 23 As of System 8.6 at least, Internet Config is built into the system, and the 24 file mappings are accessed from the Advanced pane of the Internet control 25 panel. User Mode (in the Edit menu) needs to be set to Advanced in order to 26 access this pane. 27 28 INSTALLATION 29 30 Put this file in your Python path, and create a file named {Python}:sitecustomize.py 31 that contains: 32 import icopen 33 34 (If {Python}:sitecustomizer.py already exists, just add the 'import' line to it.) 35 36 The next time you launch PythonInterpreter or Python IDE, the patch will take 37 effect. 38 """ 39 40 from warnings import warnpy3k 41 warnpy3k("In 3.x, the icopen module is removed.", stacklevel=2) 42 43 import __builtin__ 44 45 _builtin_open = globals().get('_builtin_open', __builtin__.open) 46 47 def _open_with_typer(*args): 48 file = _builtin_open(*args) 49 filename = args[0] 50 mode = 'r' 51 if args[1:]: 52 mode = args[1] 53 if mode[0] == 'w': 54 from ic import error, settypecreator 55 try: 56 settypecreator(filename) 57 except error: 58 pass 59 return file 60 61 __builtin__.open = _open_with_typer 62 63 """ 64 open('test.py') 65 _open_with_typer('test.py', 'w') 66 _open_with_typer('test.txt', 'w') 67 _open_with_typer('test.html', 'w') 68 _open_with_typer('test.foo', 'w') 69 """ 70
