Brett Cannon added the comment: ExtensionFileLoader.is_package() is accurate because it's not typical for an extension module to inject its own submodules like pyexpat is. Usually people who use an extension module in a package use it just for a submodule and not even as an __init__.
IOW there's a long history of built-ins and extensions not being in packages that people bump up against that no one has taken the time to try and straighten out due to it not being an issue on a regular basis. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29830> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
