Eric Snow added the comment: While this is a regression, 3.3 definitely puts an increased emphasis on using importlib.import_module() instead of builtins.__import__(). Any reason why import_module() isn't used?
As to the regression, while the current behavior makes more sense, it is contrary to a common idiom when using __import__(). However, given the push away from using __import__(), perhaps it can just stay this way. Oh backward compatibility... ---------- nosy: +brett.cannon, eric.snow _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
