I understand the ambiguity, and despite supporting a slightly different protocol than meta path finders, they still serve the role of finding a loader for a module. So for now, I'm keeping "path entry finder", though I'll leave the door slightly open to persuasion. :) >4. module loader (business as usual). I've pulled "Loaders" out into a separate higher level section because as you say, the loader API is the same for the things returned by both meta path finders and path entry finders. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15295> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
