Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: While I like the idea of this change, the "partially initialized" addition is fairly subtle, and relatively easy to miss.
Perhaps append "(most likely due to a circular import)" to the partially initialized case?: AttributeError: partially initialized "module 'spam' has no attribute 'ham' (most likely due to a circular import). Crucially, for folks encountering the error for the first time, that also introduces them to the main phrase they may want to search for: "circular import". The "most likely" weasel wording stems from the fact that the problem won't always be with the circular import - they may have just straight up referenced the wrong module or the wrong attribute name, so the apparently circular import is an error. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33237> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
