[New-bugs-announce] [issue44196] Document that importlib.abc.Traversable's methods should raise FileNotFoundError

[Filipe Laíns]

New submission from Filipe Laíns <lains at riseup.net>:

ResourceReader used to have this requirement, Traversable does not. We cannot add a requirement as there might be users not doing this, but we can ask new users to do so.

We should document that FileNotFoundError should be raised if a file is not found, but that it is not guaranteed that it will for all Traversable implementations for compatibility reasons.
