I posted last week about a need-for-speed patch that broke PEP 302 compliance, and asked if it should be fixed or reverted. I got exactly one response which said "yes, it should be fixed or reverted", which unfortunately didn't answer my question as to which one we should do. :)
If we don't revert it, there are two ways to fix it. One is to just change PEP 302 so that the behavior is unbroken by definition. :) The other is to actually go ahead and fix it by adding PathImporter and NullImporter types to import.c, along with a factory function on sys.path_hooks to create them. (This would've been the PEP-compliant way to implement the need-for-speed patch.) So, "fix" by documentation, fix by fixing, or fix by reverting? Which should it be? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
