New submission from Brett Cannon: I need a make a decision as to what (if anything) belongs in imp and then document what stays and deprecate everything else.
Everything in imp falls into one of the following categories: * From importlib - get_magic() - source_from_cache() - cache_from_source() * From sys - get_tag() * Platform-implemented - lock_held() - acquire_lock() - release_lock() - Undocumented stuff related to builtins, frozen, and load_dynamic() * Helper - reload() The question is what to keep/expose in imp and what to deprecate. Basically I need to figure out what imp's role is supposed to be in the face of importlib. My gut says either expose platform-dependent stuff and reload() and move the rest to importlib/deprecate, or to completely do away with the module and force people to use the APIs in importlib for consistency (and to stop people from mucking around with import from outside of importlib). ---------- assignee: brett.cannon components: Library (Lib) messages: 181849 nosy: brett.cannon priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Document/deprecate imp versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17177> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
