[New-bugs-announce] [issue37890] Modernize several tests in test_importlib

[Kyle Stanley]

New submission from Kyle Stanley <aeros167 at gmail.com>:

Last month, several tests were moved into test_importlib (https://bugs.python.org/issue19696): "test_pkg_import.py", "test_threaded_import.py", and  "threaded_import_hangers.py".

Those tests were created quite a while ago though and do not currently utilize importlib directly. They should be updated accordingly.

I'm interested in helping with this issue, but I may require some assistance as I'm not overly familiar with the internals of importlib. I'll probably start with "test_pkg_import.py". 

Anyone else can feel free to work on the other two in the meantime, but they should be worked on together as "threaded_import_hangers.py" is a dependency for "test_threaded_import.py".
