Eric V. Smith added the comment: Remember that one reason for importing the C version at the bottom of the python version is so that alternate implementations (PyPy, IronPython, Jython) could provide partial versions of the C (or equivalent) versions. By importing after the Python version, the alternate implementation could continue to use parts of the Python code.
I think the impact on alternate implementations needs to be considered before we start rearchitecting these imports. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19232> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
