From 02d845400275076ef5ba2791c74b7670ac21f8a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brett Cannon Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 11:39:21 -0500 Subject: Issue #23014: Make importlib.abc.Loader.create_module() required when importlib.abc.Loader.exec_module() is also defined. Before this change, create_module() was optional **and** could return None to trigger default semantics. This change now reduces the options for choosing default semantics to one and in the most backporting-friendly way (define create_module() to return None). --- Lib/importlib/abc.py | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'Lib/importlib/abc.py') diff --git a/Lib/importlib/abc.py b/Lib/importlib/abc.py index 6b6a602aaf5..287848847bd 100644 --- a/Lib/importlib/abc.py +++ b/Lib/importlib/abc.py @@ -122,9 +122,6 @@ class Loader(metaclass=abc.ABCMeta): This method should raise ImportError if anything prevents it from creating a new module.
