New submission from Oliver Etchebarne (drmad): I didn't research this issue further. Create a file 'test.py', and write only 'import shutil'. Then create a file 'copy.py' in the same directory, and write something inside, like 'print ("OH NO")'.
When you run test.py, 'copy.py' is executed, and prints the string. Tested with python 3.5 and 3.6. Works as expected (test.py doing nothing) in python 2.7 ---------- messages: 289681 nosy: Oliver Etchebarne (drmad) priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: importing module shutil executes file 'copy.py' type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29821> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
