[Python-Dev] Plea: can modulefinder.py move to the library? (original) (raw)

Documentation: Ok, that'll need to been done.

Regarding the print statements: most are in ModuleFinder.msg() and ModuleFinder.report(), and then there are two in tryregistry(). Apart from the latter, if msg() and reprot() are not appropriate for an application, they can easily be overridden. But: by default, self.debug is set to zero, which means that no msg's are ever printed. I think the module as is is just fine (apart perhaps from the tryregistry print statements), it's a meta tool after all. If you don't agree: how should it be changed specifically?

Ok, make it so!
