Hi Eric,
Sorry for the late reply. I think I did not accurately describe the issue at
all. As a minimal example, set up two virtual environments, one from 2.7.x, one
from 3.7.2.
When you are in the virtual environment, do
- pip install protobuf==3.3.0
- python (to go into compiler)
- import google
- print(type(google.__path__))
The 2.7.x would tell you it's a <type 'list'>
The 3.7.2 would tell you it's a
<class'_frozen_importlib_external._NamespacePath'>
Since it's not a list, some behaviours are gone, e.g., insert. I'm not trying
to manipulate protobuf package's __path__, but trying to upgrade a legacy
codebase, the legacy codebase does something like:
module.insert(0, 'some/path'), which breaks under python3, because it's not a
list anymore, but a <class'_frozen_importlib_external._NamespacePath'>.
I believe the problem comes from the 'top level entry point'. For example, when
you have 2 separate packages but they were organized under the same namespace.
E.g., in their setup.py
Package A:
packages=[
"orange",
"orange.schemas",
],
namespace_packages=["orange"]
Package B:
packages=[
"orange",
"orange.server",
],
namespace_packages=["orange"]
The problem comes from when you try to do `import orange`, and do operations
with orange.__path__ here. In Python 2.7, it's a list; in Python 3.7, it's a
<class '_frozen_importlib_external._NamespacePath'>
