New submission from Stefan Krah: This may be related to PEP 451: Previously, if the _decimal.so build failed for whatever reason, decimal.py would be used instead. For that to work, importing _decimal needs to fail.
But now the import is successful: # Simulate build failure: rm Modules/_decimal/_decimal.c ./configure --with-pydebug && make $ ./python Python 3.5.0a0 (default:0337a460f05b+, Aug 26 2014, 23:47:43) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import _decimal >>> _decimal.__path__ _NamespacePath(['/home/stefan/pydev/cpython/Modules/_decimal']) ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 225931 nosy: eric.snow, skrah priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: _decimal: successful import despite build failure type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22280> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
