New submission from Brett Cannon <br...@python.org>: As discussed and agreed to on python-dev, it makes sense to require loaders to set __loader__ and __package__ so that they can be relied upon by globally executed code in a module.
The following needs to happen to close this bug: * Update PEP 302 to say __loader__ is required, not optional * Update PEP 366 to say __package__ is required * Update PEP 302 to point to PEP 366 and mention the requirement * Update importlib.util.module_for_loader to set both __loader__ and __package__ * Update importlib.util.set_loader and importlib.util.set_package to point out that module_for_loader supercedes those decorators * Update importlib._bootstrap to set __loader__ when it is absent ---------- assignee: brett.cannon components: Interpreter Core messages: 158983 nosy: brett.cannon priority: release blocker severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Require loaders set __loader__ and __package__ type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14646> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
