Marc-Andre Lemburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Amaury, I don't see where imp.find_module() tries to do a compile() (which would trigger the SyntaxError). Is that really the full traceback ?
Regarding the strategy of pydoc to try to list all modules: I don't think that's such a good idea. It's likely to take a long time to compile such a list on a moderately used Python system and can have lots of unwanted side effects via import hooks. Instead, pydoc should just say that a module was not specified and be done with it. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4540> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
