[New-bugs-announce] [issue12915] Add inspect.locate and inspect.resolve

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

The need to resolve a dotted name to a Python object is spreading in the stdlib: pydoc has locate and resolve, packaging has util.resolve_name, unittest has something else, etc.  For the benefit of stdlib maintainers as well as the community, I think such functionality should be exposed publicly by the inspect module.
