New submission from Nick Coghlan <[email protected]>:
As noted in #15314, one of the pkgutil tests was failing on Windows because
pkgutil.get_importer("") was returning None. On my Fedora system it returns
FileFinder(".").
I've now tweaked that particular test to use a bogus path string so that None
is the expected result on all platforms.
However, the cross-platform discrepancy is a little disturbing - I would have
expected the operation to either fail or succeed regardless of platform.
Since pkgutil.get_importer is now just a wrapper that takes care of checking
path_importer_cache and then walking sys.path_hooks, I believe the actual
culprit is FileFinder.path_hook()("") returning None (I'm currently downloading
and installing 3.3b1 on my gaming machine to confirm that)
