import __hello__ doesn't print any message!!!

That was changed in [a2213060d9dd], see issue #1414.

What’s import __hello__? I don’t have it in any version from 2.4 to 3.2.

Okay, it doesn’t work with -m __hello__, but using -c "import __hello__" I can see the message in all versions.

Can you elaborate on that? I.e. the versions and the actual message. The current bytecode of the __hello__ module is (default branch): 1 0 LOAD_CONST 1 (True) 3 STORE_NAME 1 (initialized) 6 LOAD_CONST 0 (None) 9 RETURN_VALUE I'd be a bit surprised if that really prints a message.

I can see the message (“Hello world...”) in 2.4 to 2.7, but actually not in 3.x.

Why is this still open, and more importantly, why is it a release blocker?

A patch against 3.1. The new bytecode is now: 1 0 LOAD_CONST 2 (True) 3 STORE_NAME 1 (initialized) 2 6 LOAD_NAME 2 (print) 9 LOAD_CONST 0 ('Hello world...') 12 CALL_FUNCTION 1 15 POP_TOP 16 LOAD_CONST 1 (None) 19 RETURN_VALUE

+print("Hello world...") I would prefer a more positive "Hello World!", but thanks for the patch.

Thanks Andreas for your fix! Python 3 is now better than Python 2: it prints "Hello World!" instead of "Hello World...".

The byte code could be further optimized (because this is such a speed-critical module! :)): 1 0 LOAD_CONST 2 (True) 3 STORE_NAME 1 (initialized) 2 6 LOAD_NAME 2 (print) 9 LOAD_CONST 0 ('Hello world...') 12 CALL_FUNCTION 1 15 RETURN_VALUE

> The byte code could be further optimized (because this is such a speed-critical module! :)): (...) You propose to replace 8 CALL_FUNCTION 1 10 POP_TOP 12 LOAD_CONST 2 (None) 14 RETURN_VALUE with: 12 CALL_FUNCTION 1 15 RETURN_VALUE It changes the semantics of Python. Technically, you *can* override the print() builtin function: vstinner@apu$ ./python Python 3.8.0a2+ (heads/master:dc078947a5, Mar 7 2019, 12:23:23) >>> import builtins >>> def mock(*args, **kw): return 3 ... >>> builtins.print=mock >>> print("hello") 3 >>> import __phello__ >>> # doesn't print anything ... It would be possible if you ensure that print() isn't replaced. Longer explanation: https://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/semantics.html To use more efficient bytecode without modying the Python semantics, you need to deoptimize if print() is replaced. I implemented that in my old FAT Python project :-) https://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/optimizations.html#call-pure -- I would be more interested by a tool to update/regenerate M___hello__ in Python/frozen.c.

> It changes the semantics of Python. When would the return value actually matter? Would it affect the value of the variable `__hello__`?
