[New-bugs-announce] [issue15110] strange Tracebacks with importlib

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com>:

Exceptions during import now display huge tracebacks across importlib._bootstrap, this adds a lot of noise to the error:

For example, I added some syntax error in distutils/spawn.py, then:

~/python/cpython3.x$ ./python -c "from distutils import ccompiler"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1335, in _handle_fromlist
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1288, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1255, in _find_and_load_unlocked
