Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: https://bugs.python.org/issue29258 is an existing issue for the PEP 420 limitation (it also notes why fixing that implicitly is a potential problem)
I've retitled this issue to be specifically about the misleading docs for the "prefix" option (and updated the metadata accordingly). "Recursive descent in pkgutil.walk_packages depends on sys.path" would be a reasonable title for an issue to actually fix the operation to use a better algorithm based on newer importlib APIs, but I haven't filed that myself. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python title: pkgutil.walk_packages gives incomplete results -> pkgutil.walk_packages "prefix" option docs are misleading versions: +Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33210> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
