[issue17321] Better way to pass objects between imp.find_module() and imp.load_module()

Joe Borg added the comment: Hi Brett, I missed the fact that it's deprecated as it's not mentioned in the 2.* docs http://docs.python.org/2/library/imp.html. I can see it is in the 3.*. Thanks for the feedback. -- ___ Python tracker

New submission from Joe Borg: If I want to use imp to find some load modules, I have to do it in quite an "unpythonic" way: >>> name = "os" >>> file, pathname, description = imp.find_module(name) >>> imp.load_module(name, file, pathname, description) Can there not be a better way to pass the t
