I agree that the contradiction should be resolved. There is an actual `__future__.py` module, which on my system it is at /usr/local/lib/python3.9/__future__.py But when we use the special syntax: from __future__ import <feature> it doesn't do a normal import of the `__future__.py` module, it is actually a compiler directive. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44693> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
