Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: As we move more and more infrastructure into Python code, we're going to see this pattern (i.e. a bootstrap module underlying the real module) more and more often (e.g. I seem to recall Brett has to do something similar when playing with the pure Python __import__ implementation).
I don't have an issue with it - it's a solid, standard solution to a recurring problem with otherwise circular dependencies. The only changes I would suggest to Antoine's patch are to explicitly scope "interpreter startup" in the _bootlocale docstring (to make it clear that sitecustomize.py should use the ordinary locale module) and to mention the nature of _bootlocale in a comment just before the "from _bootlocale import *" line in locale.py. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9548> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
