从python包导入模块功能

Question

I saw the command listed as below for sklearn.tree.tree

from ._tree import Criterion, Splitter, Tree
from . import _tree

Yet in the same tree folder I cannot find any file or class named _tree . Can anyone tell me where exactly I can find this class?

Answer 1

The module you are looking for is written in Cython. The corresponding file is called _tree.pyx . It can be found in .../scikit-learn/sklearn/tree/_tree.pyx , if you have the scikit learn sources, eg in form of the git repo, on your computer.

Cython is translated to C code, which can be found in _tree.c .

The compiled C code is what is imported in the lines you found, and the corresponding file is called _tree.so . In a typical scikit-learn installation, this may be the only file you find. It is not human-readable, so if you are interested in the source, check it out here
