I don't think someone who doesn't know about __path__ would be very enlightened by the error message. Also, I don't think error messages have a role in teaching about the implementation details of features, so I'd vote for removing the __context__ here. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19257> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
