Maybe Eric can, but I can't. ;) I honestly don't remember why we made it abstract, except perhaps because we put it in the Loader class which already had an abstract load_module() method. >It seems like its default is fine and you should only need to overload it >when you can say something better than the default. Note that moduleobject.c can handle the case of a missing or uncallable module_repr() attribute. Then it implements the defaults specified in PEP 420. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17566> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
