[New-bugs-announce] [issue14710] pkgutil.get_loader is broken

[Pavel Aslanov]

New submission from Pavel Aslanov <asl.pavel at gmail.com>:

if module was marked as not existing by setting sys.modules [fullname] to None, then pkgutil.get_loader (fullname) will throw AttributeError.

Example:
#! /usr/bin/evn python
import unittest
import pkgutil

def main ():
    pkgutil.get_loader ('unittest.functools')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main ()

Patch is attached
