Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org> added the comment:
I don't recall, but... You can't modify any builtin modules. Freezing modules effectively makes them builtin from a user's perspective. There are plenty of modules that can't be modified: >>> sys.builtin_module_names ('_abc', '_ast', '_codecs', '_collections', '_functools', '_imp', '_io', '_locale', '_operator', '_signal', '_sre', '_stat', '_string', '_symtable', '_thread', '_tokenize', '_tracemalloc', '_warnings', '_weakref', 'atexit', 'builtins', 'errno', 'faulthandler', 'gc', 'itertools', 'marshal', 'posix', 'pwd', 'sys', 'time', 'xxsubtype') I don't see why adding a few more modules to that list would be a problem. Was the objection to feezing *all* modules, not just the core ones? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45020> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
