Namespace packages (PEP 420) predate ModuleSpec (PEP 451). So, I think this probably happened when 451 was implemented. Maybe Eric Snow recalls? I say this without having looked at it very deeply. As to why the namespace package loader is a private class: it never occurred to me someone would care about inspecting it. ---------- nosy: +eric.snow _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35673> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
