Martin Panter added the comment: Even with my committed fix, tracebacks triggered by initializing a parent package are still suppressed:
$ ./python -m hello Traceback (most recent call last): File "/media/disk/home/proj/python/cpython/Lib/runpy.py", line 158, in _run_module_as_main mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error) File "/media/disk/home/proj/python/cpython/Lib/runpy.py", line 116, in _get_module_details __import__(mod_name) # Do not catch exceptions initializing package File "/media/disk/home/proj/python/cpython/hello/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> import random; random.dsgjdgj AttributeError: module 'random' has no attribute 'dsgjdgj' [Exit 1] $ ./python -m hello.submodule /media/disk/home/proj/python/cpython/python: Error while finding spec for 'hello.submodule' (<class 'AttributeError'>: module 'random' has no attribute 'dsgjdgj') [Exit 1] Fixing this in general might require a loop around the find_spec() call as in init-ancestor.patch. But I’m unsure if it is worth the extra complication. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41231/init-ancestor.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14285> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
