Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com> added the comment: @Éric - that's a good point. I considered it for a little bit, but went with the quick and easy think to get it rolling.
There is a real benefit to mandating an API sys.implementation.version. importlib would use that version to calculate the tag to use for cached modules. Without a specified/uniform data structure, that job is trickier. Having an explicit sys.implementation.cache_tag field would solve that, and the importlib code would check for that field first. However, I didn't want to start off with that as a "required" field, considering that only CPython would take advantage of module caches (as far as I know). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14673> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
