[New-bugs-announce] [issue16393] typo in pkgutil.py

[Stefan Behnel]

New submission from Stefan Behnel:

My guess is that line 454 in pkgutil.py should pass "pkg_name" into the import_module() function, not "pkg". I get the following error when compiling it with Cython:

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------
...
        msg = "Relative module name {!r} not supported".format(fullname)
        raise ImportError(msg)
    if '.' in fullname:
        # Get the containing package's __path__
        pkg_name = fullname.rpartition(".")[0]
        pkg = importlib.import_module(pkg)
                                        ^
------------------------------------------------------------
pkgutil.py:454:41: local variable 'pkg' referenced before assignment
