Where does the variable __spec__
come from?
$ brew install python3
$ python3
Python 3.4.2 (default, Jan 5 2015, 11:57:21)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.56)] on darwin

# Under Python 2.7.x this gives a NameError
>>> None is __spec__
True
From the Python Language Reference, Part 5: The Import System (emphasis mine):
The
__spec__
attribute must be set to the module spec that was used when importing the module. This is used primarily for introspection and during reloading. Setting__spec__
appropriately applies equally to modules initialized during interpreter startup . The one exception is__main__
, where__spec__
is set to None in some cases .New in version 3.4.
According to Python 3 docs , __spec__
is always None
if you are using interactive promt:
When Python is started with the -m option,
__spec__
is set to the module spec of the corresponding module or package.__spec__
is also populated when the__main__
module is loaded as part of executing a directory, zipfile or other sys.path entry.In the remaining cases
__main__.__spec__
is set to None , as the code used to populate the__main__
does not correspond directly with an importable module:
- interactive prompt
- -c switch
- running from stdin
- running directly from a source or bytecode file
