New submission from Antony Lee: There are a couple of places in the docs where it would be appropriate to replace __name__ by __spec__.__name__ in order to support the case where the module is executed as the __main__ module:
- logging.getLogger should certainly use __spec__.__name__ so that the logger hierarchy be respected (otherwise, when running "python -mpkg.subpkg", the logger of pkg.subpkg is named "__main__" and thus not a child of the "pkg" logger). - examples for argparse.ArgumentParser (e.g. in the docs for venv) should use __spec__.__name__ instead of __name__ for the "prog=" argument. (not guaranteed to be exhaustive) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 256743 nosy: Antony.Lee, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Use __spec__.__name__ instead of __name__ in the docs where appropriate versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25912> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
