STINNER Victor <[email protected]> added the comment:
The site module tries to compute the absolute path of __file__ and __cached__
attributes of all modules in sys.modules:
def abs_paths():
"""Set all module __file__ and __cached__ attributes to an absolute path"""
for m in set(sys.modules.values()):
if (getattr(getattr(m, '__loader__', None), '__module__', None) not in
('_frozen_importlib', '_frozen_importlib_external')):
continue # don't mess with a PEP 302-supplied __file__
try:
m.__file__ = os.path.abspath(m.__file__)
except (AttributeError, OSError, TypeError):
pass
try:
m.__cached__ = os.path.abspath(m.__cached__)
except (AttributeError, OSError, TypeError):
pass
The __path__ attribute isn't updated.
Another approach would be to hack importlib to compute the absolute path before
loading a module, rather than trying to fix it *afterwards*.
One pratical problem: posixpath and ntpath are not available when importlib is
setup, these modules are implemented in pure Python and so must be imported.
Maybe importlib could use a naive implementation of os.path.abspath(). Maybe
the C function _Py_abspath() that I implemented in PR 14053 should be exposed
somehow to importlib as a private function using a builtin module like _imp, so
it can be used directly.
