ModuleUtils

What it is

A small utility module that locates the filesystem directory containing the Python source file where a given class is defined.

Public API

• find_class_module_root_path(class_: type) -> pathlib.Path
  • Returns the directory path (Path) of the file that defines class_.

Configuration/Dependencies

• Standard library only:
  • inspect.getfile (to resolve the defining file for a class)
  • pathlib.Path (for path handling)

Usage

from naas_abi_core.module.ModuleUtils import find_class_module_root_path
 
class MyClass:
    pass
 
print(find_class_module_root_path(MyClass))
# -> Path to the directory containing the file where MyClass is defined

Caveats

• inspect.getfile(class_) can fail for classes without an associated Python source file (e.g., some built-ins, dynamically created classes).
