Filipe Laíns <la...@riseup.net> added the comment: Ah, this was not obvious to me! I did not specify a path, but as it defaults to `sys.path` and `namespace.a` is available there, I was expecting it to find it. One of the things that threw me off was the first arguments being called `fullname`, which I assumed implied that `PathFinder` was able to do a recursive search.
This indeed works: ``` $ ./python Python 3.11.0a1+ (heads/main:9e05da6224, Oct 23 2021, 20:36:14) [GCC 11.1.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from importlib.machinery import PathFinder >>> spec = PathFinder.find_spec('namespace') >>> PathFinder.find_spec('a', path=spec.submodule_search_locations) ModuleSpec(name='a', loader=<_frozen_importlib_external.SourceFileLoader object at 0x7f245d0d3e80>, origin='/home/anubis/git/cpython/namespace/a.py') ``` I should have validated if normal packages also had the same behavior, which they do, before opening this -.- I am curious, what is `fullname` supposed to mean then? "full" in what sense? ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45591> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
