[New-bugs-announce] [issue21499] test_importlib incorrectly relies on <module>.__builtins__

[Eric Snow]

New submission from Eric Snow:

Per the docs*, a module's __builtins__ may be a module or a dict or even missing.  However, test.test_importlib.test_api.ReloadTests checks __builtins__ as part of several tests.  Instead, the tests should ignore __bulitins__.  I'll push a patch in a minute that fixes that.

* https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html
