Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Another one: now that shutil provides archiving operations, there is a circular dependency between tarfile and shutil. It does not cause problems*, as both modules use qualified names, but it may be a good thing to avoid import cascades for performance reasons. The single shutil function used by tarfile could be inlined, as I did in distutils2, or you may reject this idea.
* Except in distutils2’s backport, see http://hg.python.org/distutils2/rev/c1b1b537196d ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
