Encoder#

class Ms3dEncoder(data, options=None, output=None)[source]#

Bases: FileEncoder[ModelContent], Ms3dFileIO

format: FileFormat = 'ms3d'#

Associated file format.

signature: Optional[bytes] = b'MS3D000000'#

Expected file signature.

order: ByteOrder = '<'#

Default byte order for pack/unpack operations.

transforms: EncoderTransforms = [<function unique_names>, <function skeleton_to_local>]#

Format-specific transforms applied to model data before serialization.

serialize()[source]#

Write self.data to the output stream. Called by encode().

add_signature()#

Write the format signature to the output stream.

Return type:

None

close()#

Flush and close the IO object.

This method has no effect if the file is already closed.

Return type:

None

property closed: bool#
encode(transforms=None)#

Runs encoding pipeline.

Parameters:

transforms (Optional[list[Callable[[ModelScene], ModelScene]]]) – Override the default transforms for this call.

Return type:

Self

Returns:

Self (chaining).

export(path, mode='wb')#

Write encoded data to file by stem. Format suffix appended. Closes encoder.

Parameters:
  • path (str | Path | PathLike[str]) – Output file path.

  • mode (Literal['rb', 'rb+', 'wb', 'wb+', 'ab', 'ab+']) – File mode (binary).

Return type:

None

export_as(path, mode='wb')#

Write encoded data to file by stem. Format suffix appended. Keeps the encoder open.

Parameters:
  • path (str | Path | PathLike[str]) – Output file path.

  • mode (Literal['rb', 'rb+', 'wb', 'wb+', 'ab', 'ab+']) – File mode (binary).

Return type:

Self

fileno()#

Returns underlying file descriptor if one exists.

OSError is raised if the IO object does not use a file descriptor.

flush()#

Flush write buffers, if applicable.

This is not implemented for read-only and non-blocking streams.

Return type:

None

getvalue()#
Return type:

bytes

is_eof()#
Return type:

bool

isatty()#

Return whether this is an β€˜interactive’ stream.

Return False if it can’t be determined.

property location: str#
prelude()#

Hook called before transforms, signature and serialization.

Return type:

None

read(size=-1)#
Return type:

bytes

readable()#

Return whether object was opened for reading.

If False, read() will raise OSError.

Return type:

bool

readline(size=-1, /)#

Read and return a line from the stream.

If size is specified, at most size bytes will be read.

The line terminator is always b’n’ for binary files; for text files, the newlines argument to open can be used to select the line terminator(s) recognized.

readlines(hint=-1, /)#

Return a list of lines from the stream.

hint can be specified to control the number of lines read: no more lines will be read if the total size (in bytes/characters) of all lines so far exceeds hint.

save(path, mode='wb')#

Write encoded data to file by name. Closes encoder.

Parameters:
  • path (str | Path | PathLike[str]) – Output file path.

  • mode (Literal['rb', 'rb+', 'wb', 'wb+', 'ab', 'ab+']) – File mode (binary).

Return type:

None

save_as(path, mode='wb')#

Write encoded data to file by name. Keeps encoder open.

Parameters:
  • path (str | Path | PathLike[str]) – Output file path.

  • mode (Literal['rb', 'rb+', 'wb', 'wb+', 'ab', 'ab+']) – File mode (binary).

Return type:

Self

seek(pos, whence=0)#

Change the stream position to the given byte offset.

offset

The stream position, relative to β€˜whence’.

whence

The relative position to seek from.

The offset is interpreted relative to the position indicated by whence. Values for whence are:

  • os.SEEK_SET or 0 – start of stream (the default); offset should be zero or positive

  • os.SEEK_CUR or 1 – current stream position; offset may be negative

  • os.SEEK_END or 2 – end of stream; offset is usually negative

Return the new absolute position.

Return type:

int

seekable()#

Return whether object supports random access.

If False, seek(), tell() and truncate() will raise OSError. This method may need to do a test seek().

Return type:

bool

size()#
Return type:

int

skip(size)#
property suffix: str#
tell()#

Return current stream position.

Return type:

int

transform(transforms=None)#

Apply format-specific transforms to model data.

truncate()#

Truncate file to size bytes.

File pointer is left unchanged. Size defaults to the current IO position as reported by tell(). Returns the new size.

unicode_errors: str = 'replace'#

Error handling mode for UTF-8 encoding/decoding.

writable()#

Return whether object was opened for writing.

If False, write() will raise OSError.

Return type:

bool

write(data)#
Return type:

int

writelines(lines, /)#

Write a list of lines to stream.

Line separators are not added, so it is usual for each of the lines provided to have a line separator at the end.

data: ContentType#
options: Options#

Shared handlers options.

ctx: TempContext#

IO#

Extensions for MS3D file format with custom struct-based I/O methods.
