[New-bugs-announce] [issue33254] importlib.resources.contents() incorrectly yields an empty list

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

If you look at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0f914b5b5f6ba186afd7112fc851c97247076f70/Lib/importlib/resources.py#L247 you will notice that the generator for importlib.resources.contents() return an empty list. While the intent was to have no values be returned by contents(), by virtue of being a generator that empty list is actually being returned as a value.
