Robert Collins added the comment: @Terry in principle you're right, there are an arbitrary number of things that can go wrong, but in practice what we see is either catastrophic failure where nothing is loaded at all *and* no error is returned or localised failure where the deferred reporting of failed imports serves quite well enough.
The former is caused by things like the wrong path in a configuration file. @ezio sure - a boolean option would meet the needs reported to me, I was suggesting a specific implementation in an attempt to be generic enough to not need to maintain two things if more was added in future. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18232> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
