Projects¶
- importlib.__import__ as the default builtins.__import__
Currently in Python, “builtin___import__()” in Python/bltinmodule.c makes a call to PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject. Brett Cannon is working on making importlib.__import__ the default import call[1].
- the __experimental__ module

like the __future__ module, but for less-stable APIs that are likely to go in focus on stdlib (room for experimental syntax too?) (higher exposure testing)
