:mod:`linecache` --- Random access to text lines
================================================

.. module:: linecache
   :synopsis: This module provides random access to individual lines from text files.

.. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>

**Source code:** :source:`Lib/linecache.py`

--------------

The :mod:`linecache` module allows one to get any line from a Python source file, while
attempting to optimize internally, using a cache, the common case where many
lines are read from a single file.  This is used by the :mod:`traceback` module
to retrieve source lines for inclusion in  the formatted traceback.

The :func:`tokenize.open` function is used to open files. This
function uses :func:`tokenize.detect_encoding` to get the encoding of the
file; in the absence of an encoding token, the file encoding defaults to UTF-8.

The :mod:`linecache` module defines the following functions:

.. function:: getline(filename, lineno, module_globals=None)

Get line *lineno* from file named *filename*. This function will never raise an
   exception --- it will return ``''`` on errors (the terminating newline character
   will be included for lines that are found).

.. index:: triple: module; search; path

If a file named *filename* is not found, the function will look for it in the
   module search path, ``sys.path``, after first checking for a :pep:`302`
   ``__loader__`` in *module_globals*, in case the module was imported from a
   zipfile or other non-filesystem import source.

.. function:: clearcache()

Clear the cache.  Use this function if you no longer need lines from files
   previously read using :func:`getline`.

.. function:: checkcache(filename=None)

Check the cache for validity.  Use this function if files in the cache  may have
   changed on disk, and you require the updated version.  If *filename* is omitted,
   it will check all the entries in the cache.

.. function:: lazycache(filename, module_globals)

Capture enough detail about a non-file-based module to permit getting its
   lines later via :func:`getline` even if *module_globals* is ``None`` in the later
   call. This avoids doing I/O until a line is actually needed, without having
   to carry the module globals around indefinitely.

.. versionadded:: 3.5

Example::

>>> import linecache
   >>> linecache.getline(linecache.__file__, 8)
   'import sys\n'
