New submission from Barry A. Warsaw <ba...@python.org>: __spec__ is defined in PEP 451. If you search for "__spec__" in the docs, you get a number of hits.
https://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=__spec__&check_keywords=yes&area=default Click on the first link: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html?highlight=__spec__#__spec__ but that still leaves you scratching your head as to what exactly is in __spec__. If you happen to scroll up a little bit though, you end up here: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html?highlight=__spec__#module-spec and then if you follow the link to ModuleSpec, you finally get to here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#importlib.machinery.ModuleSpec and *that's* where the contents of __spec__ are defined. Not very discoverable. I propose just a couple of small documentation fixes to add "__spec__" in both of those locations so that a search lands you in a useful place. ---------- assignee: barry components: Documentation messages: 304474 nosy: barry priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Improve __spec__ discoverability versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31799> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
