New submission from Stefan Bauer (TraceTronic) <stefan.bauer at tracetronic.de>:
I’d like to report a discrepancy between the documentation and implementation of the method imp.find_module().
The documentation <https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/imp.html#imp.find_module> currently says “If the module does not live in a file, the returned file is None, pathname is the __empty_string__, […]”
The implementation <https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/imp.py#L272>, on the other hand, returns __None__ for built-in and frozen modules.
Yours,
Stefan
