Message315018
https://bugs.python.org/issue29258 is an existing issue for the PEP 420 limitation (it also notes why fixing that implicitly is a potential problem)
I've retitled this issue to be specifically about the misleading docs for the "prefix" option (and updated the metadata accordingly).
"Recursive descent in pkgutil.walk_packages depends on sys.path" would be a reasonable title for an issue to actually fix the operation to use a better algorithm based on newer importlib APIs, but I haven't filed that myself. |
