Message 30933 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

""" To be able to fix this right, you'd have to know what the timestamp was on whatever file was loaded at the time that import loaded it. I guess import itself would have to stash this away somewhere. """

While I don't see this change being made, you might talk to Brett Cannon about it. He's working on a rewrite of the import machinery in Python and probably knows that system better than most by this point. Unless he/you can come up with something, though, I'm inclined to close the bug because of its provocation difficulty.
