Lib/imp.py for imp.source_from_cache() instead of its own C version.
Also change PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject() to not infer the source
path from the bytecode path like
PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames() does. This makes the function
less magical.
This also has the side-effect of removing all uses of MAXPATHLEN in
Python/import.c which can cause failures on really long filenames.
statement (e.g. ``from distutils import msvc9compiler``) that triggers
an ImportError of its own (e.g. the non-existence of winreg), let that
exception propagate instead of raising a generic ImportError for the
module being requested (e.g. msvc9compiler).
module name into consideration when determining whether a module is a
package or not. This prevents importing a module's __init__ module
directly and having it considered a package, which can lead to
duplicate sub-modules.
Thanks to Ronan Lamy for reporting the bug.
The long-term goal is to deprecate imp.find_module() in favour of this
API, but it will take some time as some APIs explicitly return/use what
imp.find_module() returns.
importlib.abc.FileLoader.load_module()/get_filename() and
importlib.machinery.ExtensionFileLoader.load_module() have their
single argument be optional as the loader's constructor has all the
ncessary information.
This allows for the deprecation of
imp.load_source()/load_compile()/load_package().
importlib.machinery that provide the suffix details for import.
The attributes were not put on imp so as to compartmentalize
everything importlib needs for setting up imports in
importlib.machinery.
This also led to an indirect deprecation of inspect.getmoduleinfo() as
it directly returned imp.get_suffix's returned tuple which no longer
makes sense.
This introduces a new function, imp.extension_suffixes(), which is
currently undocumented. That is forthcoming once issue #14657 is
resolved and how to expose file suffixes is decided.
importlib.util.module_for_loader also will set __loader__ along with
__package__. This is in conjunction to a forthcoming update to PEP 302
which will make these two attributes required for loaders to set.
be implicit.
Added a warning for when sys.path_hooks is found to be empty. Also
changed the meaning of None in sys.path_importer_cache to represent
trying sys.path_hooks again (an interpretation of previous semantics).
Also added a warning for when None was found.
The long-term goal is for None in sys.path_importer_cache to represent
the same as imp.NullImporter: no finder found for that sys.path entry.
importlib.machinery.(FileFinder, SourceFileLoader,
_SourcelessFileLoader, ExtensionFileLoader).
This exposes all of importlib's mechanisms that will become public on
the sys module.
