Eric Snow added the comment: As a testament to counter-intuitive API, I did not even realize this about either find_loader() or find_spec() until the bug the other day with reloading submodules. So I'm on board!
As to the best approach, I'll argue for keeping just 1 function. I tried out both ways and in the 2 function approach they simply didn't seem different enough. I've attached a patch (w/o tests, etc.) to show what I'm thinking. Basically, let's make the "path" parameter keyword-only and rename it to "parent_path" (maybe even "precomputed_parent_path"). The patch takes cues from pkgutil.find_loader(). ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +eric.snow Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33087/issue19944-find-spec-parent-module.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
