The key point is that loaders should be using the spec, not any of the module attrs (like `__file__` and `__cached__`), nor setting them. For the specific paragraph I referenced, it would look more like: It is also appropriate to set __cached__ when __file__ is not set. However, that scenario is quite atypical. Ultimately, __file__ and __cached__ are set by the import system from the module spec provided by the finder. The spec instructs the loader. If a loader can load from a cached module but otherwise does not load from a file, that atypical scenario may be appropriate. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue21761> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
