[issue16492] Add a load_parents argument to importlib.find_loader()

[Eric Snow]

Eric Snow added the comment:

find_loader() is now deprecated and we're going to support auto-importing 
parent modules in find_spec() (see #19944)

[issue16492] Add a load_parents argument to importlib.find_loader()

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

To make using importlib.find_loader() easier, there should be a flag that says 
to automatically import all parent packages for the desired submodule so as to 
not force the user to do it::

  def find_loader(name, path=None, *, load_parents=False): ...

That way people who are okay with loading some packages implicitly to get at a 
specific loader can do so without having to do boilerplate name.split('.'); 
import each parent code. Also means people don't have to worry about the path 
argument (unless they explicitly want to trigger loading from a different 
location).
