This provides a way to specify arbitrary doctest options when using
the CLI interface to process test files, just as one can when calling
testmod or testfile programmatically.
UnicodeDecodeError as ImportError. That was over-reaching the point of
raising ImportError in get_source() (which is to signal the source
code was not found when it should have). Conflating the two exceptions
with ImportError could lead to masking errors with the source which
should be known outside of whether there was an error simply getting
the source to begin with.
To make sure there is no issue with code that is both Python 2 and 3
compatible, there are no plans to remove the module any sooner than
Python 4 (unless the community moves to Python 3 solidly before then).
Forgot to raise ModuleNotFoundError when None is found in sys.modules.
This led to introducing the C function PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass()
to make setting ModuleNotFoundError easier.
Also updated the reference docs to mention ModuleNotFoundError
appropriately. Updated the docs for ModuleNotFoundError to mention the
None in sys.modules case.
Lastly, it was noticed that PyErr_SetImportError() was not setting an
exception when returning None in one case. That issue is now fixed.
ImportError.
The exception is raised by import when a module could not be found.
Technically this is defined as no viable loader could be found for the
specified module. This includes ``from ... import`` statements so that
the module usage is consistent for all situations where import
couldn't find what was requested.
This should allow for the common idiom of::
try:
import something
except ImportError:
pass
to be updated to using ModuleNotFoundError and not accidentally mask
ImportError messages that should propagate (e.g. issues with a
loader).
This work was driven by the fact that the ``from ... import``
statement needed to be able to tell the difference between an
ImportError that simply couldn't find a module (and thus silence the
exception so that ceval can raise it) and an ImportError that
represented an actual problem.
Previously __path__ was set to [__name__], but that could lead to bad
results if someone managed to circumvent the frozen importer and
somehow ended up with a finder that thought __name__ was a legit
directory/location.
importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() and implement
importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module().
The importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() method sets the various
attributes on the module being loaded. It is done unconditionally to
support reloading. Typically people used
importlib.util.module_for_loader, but since that's a decorator there
was no way to override it's actions, so init_module_attrs() came into
existence to allow for overriding. This is also why module_for_loader
is now pending deprecation (having its other use replaced by
importlib.util.module_to_load).
All of this allowed for importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module() to
be implemented. At this point you can now implement a loader with
nothing more than get_code() (which only requires get_source();
package support requires is_package()). Thanks to init_module_attrs()
the implementation of load_module() is basically a context manager
containing 2 methods calls, a call to exec(), and a return statement.

attributes to None.
The long-term goal is for people to be able to rely on these
attributes existing and checking for None to see if they have been
set. Since import itself sets these attributes when a loader does not
the only instances when the attributes are None are from someone
overloading __import__() and not using a loader or someone creating a
module from scratch.
This patch also unifies module initialization. Before you could have
different attributes with default values depending on how the module
object was created. Now the only way to not get the same default set
of attributes is to circumvent initialization by calling
ModuleType.__new__() directly.
