[issue24492] using custom objects as modules: AttributeErrors new in 3.5

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I view having a string __name__ attribute as part of quacking like a module (or class or function).  Hence pseudonames like '<lambda>' (lambda expression) or <pyshell#n> (the module name for interactive input, where n is the line number).  Is there a good reason for custom 'module' objects to not have a name?  If so, the 'graceful muddle' precedent is to give them a pseudoname, such as <module>, perhaps with a prefix or suffix.
