If we add the argument to marshal.load* we can eventually drop the file location string from marshal data entirely by requiring people to specify the filename to use when the code object is created. Making co_filename mutable simply doesn't allow for this case unless we decide a default value should be used instead. > Besides, the latter would let you code the recursive renaming algorithm in > Python, which is the whole point of importlib (rewriting most code in Python), > isn't it? Sure, but I am not about to re-implement marshal in pure Python just because importlib uses it. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
