[New-bugs-announce] [issue11742] Possible bug in Python/import.c

[Andrew Sommerville]

New submission from Andrew Sommerville <aksommerville at gmail.com>:

Around line 1509 in Python/import.c, function "find_module", the importer is trying to fail with "No module named...". It is possible for "fp" to be NULL and "fdp" (the return value) to be non-NULL, which callers would see as success.

Solution: add "fdp=NULL;" to this block:
    if (fp == NULL) {
        PyErr_Format(PyExc_ImportError,
                     "No module named %.200s", name);
    }

(my apologies if this is not the correct place to post...)
