New submission from Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org>:
It is possible to create a module without a dictionary: m = types.ModuleType.__new__(types.ModuleType) But that is the only way to create to a module without a dict; all other means of creating a module, both in Python and in the C API, result in a fully formed module. Existing code expects that modules will always have a dictionary, e.g. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.10/Include/internal/pycore_moduleobject.h#L35 We should change types.ModuleType.__new__ to properly initialize the module. ---------- assignee: Mark.Shannon messages: 396316 nosy: Mark.Shannon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Modules should alway have a dictionary type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44486> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
