In Lib/importlib/util.py, the documentation is confusing me.

Line 42 & 43:

    If an exception is raised and the decorator created the module it is
    subsequently removed from sys.modules.

Is it supposed to be:

    "If an exception is raised and the decorator which created the module is
    subsequently removed from sys.modules." ?

It is the module that gets removed.  I suppose it could say, "...created the module, then that module is subsequently...".  Would that help?

That would help.
