Doesn’t it just do whatever’s in the libpython directory?
I think the closest way to reproduce that behavior from inside is to look at
syslib.get_path('stdlib') and 'platstdlib', map those to sys.path entries, and
try to build an import loader for each file in those paths. Probably not
something you want to do at every “import stdlib”. Especially for
implementations like Brython, where import is a synchronous AJAX network call.
Also, venv surely has to include private modules, or the public ones wouldn’t
work. That might actually be the right decision, but people have already made
suggestions both ways, so presumably that’s something that needs to be
discussed and decided on usefulness grounds rather than forced on us by an
implementation technique._______________________________________________
