[issue38990] Import genericpath fails with python -S

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka  added the comment:

See also issue31802. I skipped genericpath because I did not expect that 
somebody can import it directly (unlike to posixpath, ntpath and macpath). 
genericpath is an internal module, it is not even documented.

[issue38990] Import genericpath fails with python -S

Brett Cannon  added the comment:

Thanks for the report, Brittany, but I'm closing as "won't fix" as the only way 
to make this happen is to import genericpath directly which one shouldn't do 
(it's undocumented on purpose); always get a hold of this module via 'os'.

[issue38990] Import genericpath fails with python -S

[Brittany Reynoso]

New submission from Brittany Reynoso :

When running python -S, attempting to run "import genericpath" fails with an 
attribute error due to a circular dependency between posixpath and genericpath 
that's triggered when "import os" is called from within genericpath.py. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/usr/local/fbcode/platform007/lib/python3.7/genericpath.py", line 6, in 

import os
  File "/usr/local/fbcode/platform007/lib/python3.7/os.py", line 57, in 
import posixpath as path
  File "/usr/local/fbcode/platform007/lib/python3.7/posixpath.py", line 130, in 

splitext.__doc__ = genericpath._splitext.__doc__
AttributeError: module 'genericpath' has no attribute '_splitext'
