New submission from Brett Cannon <br...@python.org>: For compatibility w/ import, importlib needs the ability to set code.co_filename to the actual location of the bytecode used to create a module and not the path embedded in the marshal data. But since co_filename is read-only it can't be done at the moment.
The idea is to add an optional argument to marshal.load* that takes a string representing the file path that co_filename should be set to, overriding what is in the marshal data. A long-term perk of this is that eventually this argument can become required for marshal.loads() and the file path embedded in the marshal data can be removed entirely. marshal.load() would infer its path from file.name. This was all discussed on python-dev; http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-August/091460.html ---------- assignee: brett.cannon components: Extension Modules messages: 92113 nosy: brett.cannon priority: low severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: add a filename argument to marshal.load* type: feature request versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6811> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
