New submission from Andrey Antsut: Importing modules from subdirectories as "implicit namespace packages" (PEP 420) inside a ZIP archive only works one level deep. Imports from within nested namespaces fail with "ImportError: No module named 'XXX'".
I am attaching an archive with example directory/file structure. To reproduce the problem, run the following from where you unzipped it: python >>> import sys >>> sys.path += ['project1', 'project2.zip', 'project3', 'project4.zip'] >>> import parent.child.hello1 Hello 1 >>> import parent.child.hello2 ImportError: No module named 'parent.child.hello2' >>> import parent.child.hello3 Hello 3 >>> import parent.child.hello4 ImportError: No module named 'parent.child.hello4' >>> import boo boo! >>> import parent.boo boo! Tested on WinXP SP3 with Python 3.3.5 and 3.4.0rc3. ---------- files: reproduce.zip messages: 213290 nosy: Andrey.Antsut priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Nested namespace imports do not work inside zip archives type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34380/reproduce.zip _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20899> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
