Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment: I understood the proposal just fine, and I understand the problems involved and appreciate why the ideal isn't sufficient here.
The import hook was my proposal to let you only preload DLLs when the extension module is being loaded, rather than having to load all the DLLs on the first "import scipy" just in case one of its submodules gets imported later. A hook can trigger on a specific module. Since there appears to be some uncertainty, package __init__.py always runs before its submodules are even resolved, so it's totally fine to modify import machinery or preload DLLs here. rpath is totally irrelevant here. The OS model is different and we've given you the available options on Windows (application directory, process-wide search path, explicit preloading, assembly probing path). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32516> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
