Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Thak you for the explanation Brett.
Since current "import" without "from" is not broken, I suppose that the raised exception is cleared somewhere later. The patch doesn't have visible effect (unless may be using nonstandard loaders or __import__, don't know). It just cleans up the code, avoid raising unneeded exception (small performance boost) and may be fix some hidden non-reproducible bug. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27352> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
