[issue18423] Document limitations on -m
New submission from andrew cooke: Apparently the limited support for -m is standard behaviour - see http://bugs.python.org/issue18422 - but it's not documented at http://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-m That should say, somewhere, that it only applies to leaf modules and packages. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 192804 nosy: acooke, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document limitations on -m _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18423> _______________________________________

Nick Coghlan added the comment: The limitation noted in #18422 was specific to 3.3, as the missing API was added to NamespaceLoader in 3.4. So the current documentation is accurate for recent versions of Python. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan resolution: -> out of date stage: needs patch -> resolved status: open -> closed versions: +Python 3.3 -Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18423> _______________________________________
