Add a test to check the current MAGIC_NUMBER against the
expected number for the release if the current release is
at candidate or final level. On test failure, describe to
the developer the procedure for changing the magic number.
This ensures that pre-merge CI will automatically pick up
on magic number changes in maintenance releases (and
explain why those are problematic), rather than relying on
all core developers to be aware of the implications of
such changes.
The concept of .pyo files no longer exists. Now .pyc files have an
optional `opt-` tag which specifies if any extra optimizations beyond
the peepholer were applied.
importlib.abc.Loader.exec_module() is also defined.
Before this change, create_module() was optional **and** could return
None to trigger default semantics. This change now reduces the
options for choosing default semantics to one and in the most
backporting-friendly way (define create_module() to return None).
Along the way, dismantle importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods as it was
no longer relevant and constructing the new function required
partially dismantling the class anyway.
The helper function makes it easier to implement
imoprtlib.abc.InspectLoader.get_source() by making that function
require just the raw bytes for source code and handling all other
details.
importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() and implement
importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module().
The importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() method sets the various
attributes on the module being loaded. It is done unconditionally to
support reloading. Typically people used
importlib.util.module_for_loader, but since that's a decorator there
was no way to override it's actions, so init_module_attrs() came into
existence to allow for overriding. This is also why module_for_loader
is now pending deprecation (having its other use replaced by
importlib.util.module_to_load).
All of this allowed for importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module() to
be implemented. At this point you can now implement a loader with
nothing more than get_code() (which only requires get_source();
package support requires is_package()). Thanks to init_module_attrs()
the implementation of load_module() is basically a context manager
containing 2 methods calls, a call to exec(), and a return statement.
handle providing (and cleaning up if needed) the module to be loaded.
A future commit will use the context manager in
Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py and thus why the code is placed there
instead of in Lib/importlib/util.py.
