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().
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.
Removed futimens as it is now redundant.
Changed shutil.copystat to use st_atime_ns and st_mtime_ns from os.stat
and ns= parameter to utime--it once again preserves exact metadata on Linux!
* Rename time.steady() to time.monotonic()
* On Windows, time.monotonic() uses GetTickCount/GetTickCount64() instead of
QueryPerformanceCounter()
* time.monotonic() uses CLOCK_HIGHRES if available
* Add time.get_clock_info(), time.perf_counter() and time.process_time()
functions
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.
* In debug mode, fill the string data with invalid characters
* Simplify also reference counting in PyCodec_BackslashReplaceErrors()
and PyCodec_XMLCharRefReplaceError()
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.
for performance. While get_magic() could move to Lib/imp.py, having to
support PyImport_GetMagicNumber() would lead to equal, if not more, C
code than sticking with the status quo.
