New submission from Stefan Behnel: The new importlib shows a regression w.r.t. previous CPython versions. It no longer recognises an "__init__.so" file as a package. All previous CPython versions have always tested first for an extension file before testing for a .py/.pyc file. The new importlib explicitly excludes the ExtensionFileLoader from loading packages. See importlib/_bootstrap.py, line 1579 onwards:
1579 def _get_supported_file_loaders(): 1580 """Returns a list of file-based module loaders. 1581 1582 Each item is a tuple (loader, suffixes, allow_packages). 1583 """ 1584 extensions = ExtensionFileLoader, _imp.extension_suffixes(), False # <== bug here 1585 source = SourceFileLoader, SOURCE_SUFFIXES, True 1586 bytecode = SourcelessFileLoader, BYTECODE_SUFFIXES, True 1587 return [extensions, source, bytecode] (BTW, I'm not sure what to file this bug against - "Interpreter Core" or "Library"?) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 167630 nosy: scoder priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: importlib: ExtensionFileLoader not used to load packages from __init__.so files type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
