René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Provide a simple syntax to load resources from __here__","articleBody":"Currently, `files()` requires a parameter indicating from which package to load the resources. A common practice is to pass `__package__`, meaning load resources from the same package that this module is in.\r\n\r\nWhen #203 is solved, it also becomes possible to use `files(__name__)` to mean the same thing (load resources from the same package that this module is in or for non-package modules other resources found alongside this module).\r\n\r\nPerhaps it would be cleaner and simpler to support `files()` with no parameter, meaning the same thing (load resources alongside this module). No doubt, this form is the most common usage of `files()`. Alternately, `files` could accept the special value \".\" with the same meaning.\r\n\r\nEither implementation would require importlib resources to infer the module from the caller's context. This feature would be an anti-feature if that couldn't be inferred reliably on all Python implementations.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jaraco","@type":"Person","name":"jaraco"},"datePublished":"2022-07-23T15:41:36.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/259/importlib_resources/issues/259"}
