The following documentation leaves me absolutely clueless:

"""This class only works with loaders that define execmodule() as control over what module type is used for the module is required.

No wonder. I cannot parse it as an English sentence. It needs rewriting.

For those same reasons, the loader’s createmodule() method will be ignored (i.e., the loader’s method should only return None). Finally, modules which substitute the object placed into sys.modules will not work as there is no way to properly replace the module references throughout the interpreter safely; ValueError is raised if such a substitution is detected."""
