It seems that adding a directory to sys.path is the intended behavior of `loader.discover()`. Should the test be restoring sys.path back to it original value when it's done?

Also, shouldn't this test (and some others) be restoring sys.modules when they're done?

Yes, and there are helpers in test.support and test.test_importlib.util.

Backported for 3.7.0rc1 and 3.6.6rc1.  Thanks, all!
msg319445 - (view) Author: STINNER Victor (vstinner) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-06-13 10:08
Note: Python 2.7 doesn't have the test_discovery_from_dotted_namespace_packages() test, so no backport to 2.7 is needed.
