{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Removing the old import","articleBody":"Now that we can import using `importlib` I would like to remove the old import (`import::import_module`). The problem is that some of the modules that use the old import are needed for `importlib` import to work (`_io`, `_thread`). For example in `io_open` we import `io` using the old import so we can create an instance of `FileIO`. We can't use the new import as in that phase it is not initialized yet.\r\nHow do you think we should solve this problem? Should we remove all use of `import` in the modules used by `importlib`? This will require us to have a struct that implements `PyValue` for every class.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/palaviv","@type":"Person","name":"palaviv"},"datePublished":"2019-07-03T15:23:17.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/1100/RustPython/issues/1100"}
