New submission from Yuval S <sadan.yu...@gmail.com>:
In Python 2.7, the __package__ variable isn't set when __init__.py is run, until an import is done. In Python 3.5, it is set correctly. e.g. # mkdir x && echo "print(__package__)" | tee x/__init__.py x/test.py # python2 x.test None x # python3 x.test x x # echo -e "import os\n$(cat x/__init__.py)" > x/__init__.py # python2 x.test x x This is very old, as it's there at least since 2010: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4437394/package-is-none-when-importing-a-python-module I would expect Python 2 and 3 to behave the same. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 354555 nosy: Yuval S priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: __package__ is None in __init__.py until an import is used versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38457> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
