New issue 2652: Using cffi lib objects as modules https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2652/using-cffi-lib-objects-as-modules
Ronan Lamy: On Python2 (both PyPy and CPython), it is possible to import names from cffi lib objects, i.e to write `from foo_cffi.lib import bar; do_stuff(bar)` instead of `from foo_cffi import lib; do_stuff(lib.bar)`. AFAICT, this doesn't work on CPython3. On pypy3, it appears to sort-of work, but since lib objects don't obey the (implicitly defined and poorly documented) module protocol, they interact poorly with importlib, causing some test failures in lib-python's test_importlib/. I'm not sure what the best thing to do is and whether cffi needs fixing, but I think CPython3 and pypy3 should behave the same. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
