Eric Snow added the comment: Yeah, but right now the API of importlib.abc.Finder is strictly find_module(name, path=None). I would expect that to remain the same for MetaPathFinder (bikeshedding aside :). So what would be left in importlib.abc.Finder if the ultimate plan is that PathEntryHandler would not implement find_module()? Would it simply be an alias to MetaPathFinder?
I agree with the plan, but wonder if a common base class is warranted. The connection to "finder" in PEP 302 is nice, but rather superfluous in a practical context. Having a Finder class is necessary at this point for backward-compatibility, but I don't see how it is different from the more appropriately named MetaPathFinder. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15502> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
