[issue12915] Add inspect.locate and inspect.resolve

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

I reopen the issue to discuss the non-ASCII identifiers.

Currently, the code uses [a-z_]\w*, but "é" is a valid Python module name for example:

$ echo 'print("here")' > é.py
$ python3 -c 'import é'
here

I'm not sure how to design the regex. I just reported a potential issue ;-) See the PEP 3131 and str.isidentifier() method:
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#str.isidentifier

resolution: fixed ->
