Nick Coghlan added the comment: s/Warn/Explicitly note/ in the issue title :)
I think this is actually both important enough and subtle enough to warrant a ".. note::" callout in the docs. In Python 3, it would say to use `sys.meta_path.insert(0, finder)` if you want your finder to take precedence over the default search locations, and `sys.meta_path.append(finder)` if you only want it handle cases that aren't already handled by the default machine. In Python 2, it would say that custom finders on `sys.meta_path` will always take precedence over the default machinery, and if you want to do otherwise, you'll need to use `importlib2` and install its loaders into `sys.meta_path` ahead of your own. ---------- title: Warn that meta_path is not empty -> Explicitly note that meta_path is not empty _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30535> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
