Matt Wozniski <[email protected]> added the comment:
I wondered if it would be backwards compatible to make `pkgutil.get_data()`
delegate to `importlib.resources.read_binary()`. It isn't, because
`pkgutil.get_data()` accepts a relative path for the resource, and
`importlib.resources.read_binary()` accepts only a filename. That is, you can
do:
pkgutil.get_data(__name__, "subdir/some_file")
but not:
importlib.resources.read_binary(__name__, "subdir/some_file")
The latter fails with:
File "/opt/bb/lib/python3.10/importlib/_common.py", line 34, in
normalize_path
raise ValueError(f'{path!r} must be only a file name')
