[New-bugs-announce] [issue15256] Typo in error message

[Marc Abramowitz]

New submission from Marc Abramowitz <msabramo at gmail.com>:

>From a failing unit test with coverage.py, I noticed what seems to be a slight typo in the error message when a module cannot be imported:

     else:

     encoding = None
     if mode == 'U':

Note the missing "d". This makes it match similar existing error messages:

Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py
1238:_ERR_MSG = 'No module named {!r}'

Lib/modulefinder.py
185:        self.msgout(4, "raise ImportError: No module named", qname)
186:        raise ImportError("No module named " + qname)
198:                self.msgout(4, "raise ImportError: No module named", mname)
199:                raise ImportError("No module named " + mname)
215:                    raise ImportError("No module named " + subname)

Lib/runpy.py
106:        raise ImportError("No module named %s" % mod_name)

I wonder if this can be centralized to ensure that all code uses the exact same message?
