New submission from Quentin Agren <quentin.ag...@gmail.com>:
I'm running Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 I don't know if this should qualify as a bug, but I noticed the following behavior difference in the (contrived?) scenario of directly importing '__init__' from a package: ## Setup ## mkdir app echo 'print(f"Executing app/__init__.py as {__name__}")' > app/__init__.py ## Native: executes __init__ *once* ## python -c 'from app import __init__' # Output: # Executing app/__init__.py as app ## Importlib: executes __init__ *twice* ## python -c "import importlib; importlib.import_module('.__init__', 'app')" # Output: # Executing app/__init__.py as app # Executing app/__init__.py as app.__init__ Note in addition that absolute import (either with importlib or native) executes '__init__' twice. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 328512 nosy: qagren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: 'from app import __init__' behaves differently with native import and importlib type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35073> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
