[New-bugs-announce] [issue41144] IDLE: raises ImportError when opening special modules

[E. Paine]

New submission from E. Paine <paineelisha at gmail.com>:

When opening special modules (such as os.path) through the "Open Module" dialog, an ImportError is raised. The fix is to catch this error and retry the loader call without the "name" argument (hence opening the true file).
