Brett Cannon added the comment: So imp.load_dynamic() does add a module to sys.modules (I'm using Python 3.2 here because that's what I have access to, but I verified this yesterday at home)::
Python 3.2.3 (default, May 3 2012, 15:51:42) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import imp >>> import sys >>> 'resource' in sys.modules False >>> mod = imp.load_dynamic('resource', >>> '/usr/lib/python3.2/lib-dynload/resource.cpython-32mu.so') >>> mod <module 'resource' from '/usr/lib/python3.2/lib-dynload/resource.cpython-32mu.so'> >>> 'resource' in sys.modules True IOW it is not needed for ExtensionFileLoader to add the module explicitly to sys.modules. As for Meador's notice that __init__.py was being imported, I believe Stefan is saying it should work without that file. So deleting __init__.py and only having __init__.so in Python 3.2 should work. If not then this has been a false alarm. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15623> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
