Brett Cannon added the comment: You're correct that it could break code checking the module's __name__ value if that was changed.
As for why I care, it sucks trying to import this module for any reason. Any place you touch this module you have to proper try/except ImportError checks to work around its multiple names. I just personally think it's a bit silly to have to do that. Anyway, there's a reason why I marked this a low priority. :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
