New submission from Cal Leeming: The documentation states that pkgutil.walk_packages() path must be None or a list of paths [1]. After passing in a string, the result was a blank list rather than a type error or automatic conversion to a list.
If this method is documented that it must only accept a list or None, then there should surely be type checks to this effect? This was a bit of a gotcha that left me head scratching for 30 minutes (after not realising it only took a list, not an str, which in itself seems a bit odd) ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 247529 nosy: sleepycal priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Lack of type checks in pkgutil.walk_packages and friends versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24744> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
