Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Perhaps I am confused because I did not notice the switch between builtins.__import__ and importlib.__import__ -- and I do not know the relation between the two, if indeed they are two and not one. What I read and understood is * importlib.import_module doc say it calls ???.__import__; * importlib.import_module code does not call ???.__import__; it instead calls _gcd_import (for good reasons).
If the claim and reality disagree, because ??? is effectively the same in both statements, then either code or doc could be changed. If importlib.__import__ and builtins.__import__ are different objects, and the doc is clear about that, then no one should expect that 'calls importlib.__import__' means 'calls builtins.__import__'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18831> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
