Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment: I found the cause of the failure.
When Barry implemented PEP 3147, he made PyPycLoader.bytecode_path() operate as if the only possible bytecode file one would want is the __cached__ one. That obviously is not accurate in the face of source-less modules. So the test_import is failing because it is not even attempting a bytecode-only import. What this means is that importlib needs to change its implementation of bytecode_path() to return the proper path based on whether the source exists. I will get to that hopefully this week. In the mean time I have flagged the test as an expected failure. This also shows me even more that I need to redo the ABCs in importlib to essentially make bytecode an optimization that the ABC handles and that is not exposed to the importer implementer. ---------- assignee: -> brett.cannon _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8727> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
