Brett Cannon added the comment: I just realized that there is no way to make ModuleSpec.has_location return True if the spec is created by simply instantiating ModuleSpec. As it stands now you **must** go through importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(), which makes it not a helper but a **required** API to use. I think this is the only thing that cannot be stated directly through ModuleSpec instantiation or public attribute assignment.
This means either (a) the docs on ModuleSpec need to be **very** clear that you must use spec_from_file_location() to make spec.has_location be true, (b) add another keyword-only argument to ModuleSpec.__init__(), or (c) make has_location settable (e.g. be able to only set it to True/False or alternatively assigning it sets both has_location to True and origin to the assigned value). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18864> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
