A copy of the `imp` module that was removed in Python 3.12

Project description

zombie-imp

A particularly mischevious act of necromancy. That is, A copy of the imp module that was removed in Python 3.12.

Don't use this, it'll probably trick and bite you.

Usage

Can be summoned by import zombie_imp.

On Python versions where imp was banished, reanimate it using import imp. It promises (with a sneer) to be the same as before.

Some functionality that was severed from pkgutil is interred in zombie_imp.pkgutil, ready for reattachment:

  • ImpImporter
  • ImpLoader

Development

You want to help it? Think you'll be rewarded? Great! It loves gullible brains.

Seriously, run! Find a project that needs this and port that to importlib.

License

The code was snatched from CPython, and is available under CPython's license (SPDX: Python-2.0.1).
