New submission from Petr Viktorin <encu...@gmail.com>:
One underlying issue from bpo-41631 is that importlib.util.LazyLoader produces modules that are only fully loaded after an attribute is accessed (through __getattribute__). C-API functions like PyModule_GetState, PyModule_GetDict and such do not get attributes, and when called on a _LazyModule, they might try to access uninitialized C-level state. I see two possible ways to fix this: - Make PyModule_GetState, etc. trigger a full load. Since this is C-API, it would need a fast (no Python code) way either to do the full load or to detect _LazyModule. - Make LazyLoader eager for either all extension & builtin modules, or for modules that have C-level storage. The latter would need a way to pass info from PyModuleDef to the loader. Brett, does that analysis make sense from the importlib POV? ---------- components: C API messages: 376991 nosy: brett.cannon, petr.viktorin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: PyModule_GetState doesn't work with LazyLoader _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41797> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
