Thomas Kluyver added the comment: I also ran into confusion with this while trying to write an import hook.
Attached is my shot at a docs patch. I've done a slightly larger rewording, trying to make it easier to understand, and added more links between parts of the docs. I left mentions of the deprecated find_module and find_loader methods in the 'finder' glossary entry, but for sys.meta_path I have only described find_spec() - it does still fall back to the deprecated methods, but I thought that trying to explain that would make the description of meta_path harder to follow. ---------- nosy: +takluyver Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41227/finders_and_specs.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23936> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
