Barry A. Warsaw <ba...@python.org> added the comment: I've landed here after chatting with @brett.cannon. I have a use case for this (making pex startup faster by bypassing pkg_resources) but I need to hack around the limitation of dlopen'ing .so's from zips. Our idea was to have a zipimport subclass which doesn't return None from `importlib.util.find_spec()` when it finds a .so, but instead dumps that into some safe directory, and then arranges for a loader that knows how to load that. It sure would be handy for this to be a zipimporter subclass. :)
I think Serhiy's patch predates the move to GitHub, so it's not a branch/PR. I guess the next step would be to branchify the patch and then continue discussion over there. Depending on my availability, I might do that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue25711> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
