New submission from Jeffrey Armstrong: On a platform where dynamic loading is unsupported, the function "imp_load_dynamic" is not compiled (Python/import.c:1775), and the Python function "load_dynamic" (Python/import.c:1845) will not be included in the _imp module. However, Lib/imp.py attempts to import "load_dynamic" from _imp (Lib/imp.py:9), causing an ImportError if dynamic loading is unsupported.
The interpreter is unable to start under these circumstances. The error was encountered on m68k-atari-mint using GCC as the compiler. This platform is a desktop environment, but has no support for true shared objects and libraries. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 179186 nosy: Jeffrey.Armstrong priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Importing "imp" will fail if dynamic loading not supported type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16880> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
