[New-bugs-announce] [issue36633] py_compile.compile: AttributeError on importlib.utils

[Jens Vagelpohl]

New submission from Jens Vagelpohl <jens at netz.ooo>:

The following code in py_compile.compile fails (tested on 3.6.6 and 3.7.3) with tracebacks that end like the one shown at the bottom. There's an AttributeError about importlib.utils.

"""
    if cfile is None:
        if optimize >= 0:
            optimization = optimize if optimize >= 1 else ''
            cfile = importlib.util.cache_from_source(file,
                                                     optimization=optimization)
        else:
            cfile = importlib.util.cache_from_source(file)
"""

Sample tail end of traceback:

"""

    cooked = self.loader.build(source, filename)
