R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: In fact, to hopefully make perfectly clear what is going on here, let me demonstrate that *any* executable statement in the module that fails to load is executed if it occurs before the error that causes the load failure:
rdmurray@hey:~/python/p32>cat temp.py import os print('foo:', hasattr(os, 'foo')) try: import temp2 except AttributeError: print('attribute error') print('temp2:', 'temp2' in globals()) print('foo:', hasattr(os, 'foo')) rdmurray@hey:~/python/p32>cat temp2.py import os os.foo = 2 os.bar rdmurray@hey:~/python/p32>./python temp.py foo: False attribute error temp2: False foo: True ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12554> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
