I propose to make this function public to be able to use it outside Python.\n\n**UPDATE:** Function renamed to `PyImport_ImportModuleAttrString()`.\n\nThe function is convenient to use and is used by the following files in Python:\n\n* Modules/arraymodule.c\n* Modules/cjkcodecs/cjkcodecs.h\n* Modules/_ctypes/callbacks.c\n* Modules/_datetimemodule.c\n* Modules/_decimal/_decimal.c\n* Modules/_elementtree.c\n* Modules/faulthandler.c\n* Modules/_lsprof.c\n* Modules/_operator.c\n* Modules/_pickle.c\n* Modules/posixmodule.c\n* Modules/selectmodule.c\n* Modules/_sqlite/connection.c\n* Modules/_sqlite/module.c\n* Modules/_sre/sre.c\n* Modules/timemodule.c\n* Modules/_zoneinfo.c\n* Objects/abstract.c\n* Objects/fileobject.c\n* Objects/memoryobject.c\n* Parser/pegen.c\n* Parser/tokenizer/file_tokenizer.c\n* Python/import.c\n* Python/pylifecycle.c\n\n\n\n### Has this already been discussed elsewhere?\n\nNo response given\n\n### Links to previous discussion of this feature:\n\n_No response_\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-128912\n* gh-128915\n* gh-128960\n* gh-128989\n* gh-129657\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/vstinner","@type":"Person","name":"vstinner"},"datePublished":"2025-01-16T11:44:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/128911/cpython/issues/128911"}
