New submission from Brett Cannon: To make using importlib.find_loader() easier, there should be a flag that says to automatically import all parent packages for the desired submodule so as to not force the user to do it::
def find_loader(name, path=None, *, load_parents=False): ... That way people who are okay with loading some packages implicitly to get at a specific loader can do so without having to do boilerplate name.split('.'); import each parent code. Also means people don't have to worry about the path argument (unless they explicitly want to trigger loading from a different location). ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 175742 nosy: brett.cannon priority: low severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Add a load_parents argument to importlib.find_loader() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16492> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
