Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: It's about navigability/discovery of the source - to find out how the sys module gets initialised, you currently have to look in multiple places. The idea of the patch is to simplify that to the one logical place: sysmodule.c
However, I'm not sure it's right to actually *move* the full import state initialisation. A simple *indirection* (pythonrun.c -> sysmodule.c -> import.c) would solve the navigability problem while also retaining some level of encapsulation for the import state initialisation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12598> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
