New submission from Phillip M. Feldman <phillip.m.feld...@gmail.com>:
`imp.find_module` goes down in flames if one tries to pass an iterator rather than a list of folders. Firstly, the message that it produces is somewhat misleading: RuntimeError: sys.path must be a list of directory names Secondly, it would be helpful if one could pass an iterator. I'm thinking in particular of the situation where one wants to import something from a large folder tree, and the module in question is likely to be found early in the search process, so that it is more efficient to explore the folder tree incrementally. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 323623 nosy: phillip.m.feld...@gmail.com priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: imp.find_module reacts badly to iterator type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34417> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
