As long as those esoteric cases can be handled without much work via create_module and exec_module, we should have a goal in mind for yanking legacy load_module support. If there are valid use cases that can't be handled via PEP 451 then I'd say we should consider finding a better way. If Loader.load_module is that better way then we need to consider a better way to handle it. What cases do you have in mind that only load_module handles (at least easily)? I can vaguely imagine the circumstances, but nothing concrete comes to mind. It doesn't seem like the sort of situation that has come up more that a handful of times nor one the currently couldn't be addressed in another way. I'm probably missing something here and I wouldn't be surprised if we discussed this point during the PEP 451 discussions. :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23014> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
