Representing end points based on file system access is important to automatically configure transactions. Towards this goal we aim at providing automatic recognition of standard library input/output functions. Currently we provide support for the built-in open function and the most common methods associated to file-like objects write, read, writelines, readline, readlines, and close, as shown in the example below.
# file1.py
data = """<html>
<header><title>This is title</title></header>
<body>
Hello world
</body>
</html>
"""
f = open('page.html', 'w')
f.write(data)
f.close()
The objects corresponding to the code of the file1.py file are inside the Universal Directory root object. Additionally the analyzer will automatically generate a Python external library object representing the Python Standard Library. Within this, the Python built-in library is abstracted as a Python source code object named builtins.py, with its corresponding open function and file class (abstracting general file-like objects) that contains the above mentioned methods. No differences are considered between Python2 and Python3 built-in functions. Notice the external character of these objects denoted by gray-shaded icons in the left Object Browser panel.
Due to implementation constraints in CAIP versions [7.3.6, 8.1] a spurious link is generated between the Python external library object and a PY File object.
