To make sure there is no issue with code that is both Python 2 and 3
compatible, there are no plans to remove the module any sooner than
Python 4 (unless the community moves to Python 3 solidly before then).
attributes to None.
The long-term goal is for people to be able to rely on these
attributes existing and checking for None to see if they have been
set. Since import itself sets these attributes when a loader does not
the only instances when the attributes are None are from someone
overloading __import__() and not using a loader or someone creating a
module from scratch.
This patch also unifies module initialization. Before you could have
different attributes with default values depending on how the module
object was created. Now the only way to not get the same default set
of attributes is to circumvent initialization by calling
ModuleType.__new__() directly.
importlib.machinery that provide the suffix details for import.
The attributes were not put on imp so as to compartmentalize
everything importlib needs for setting up imports in
importlib.machinery.
This also led to an indirect deprecation of inspect.getmoduleinfo() as
it directly returned imp.get_suffix's returned tuple which no longer
makes sense.
This fixes a regression compared to 2.x, where sys.modules.items()
returns a copy, as indicated by a comment in the source. Diagnosis and

#8720: fix inspect regression by teaching getsourcefile about linecache.
The fix for issue 4050 caused a regression: before that fix, source
lines in the linecache would eventually be found by inspect. After the
fix inspect reports an error earlier, and the source isn't found.
The fix for the fix is to have getsourcefile look in the linecache for
the file and return the psuedo-filename if the source is there, just as
it already returns it if there is a PEP 302 loader.
