[issue17953] sys.modules cannot be reassigned

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I wouldn't call it a bug personally. The modules dictionary is used in all kinds of places in the interpreter; you can change the dictionary's contents, but not swap it with another one.

It's just a pity that we can't forbid reassignment altogether.
