[issue1514420] Traceback display code can attempt to open a file named "<stdin>"

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

The problem is not in the import, but when displaying the traceback of the exception. In other words, if you catch the exception, no attempt to open "<stdin>" happens:

$ strace -e open ./python
[...]
Python 3.5.0a0 (default:3417a95df7e2, Apr 16 2014, 17:57:12) 
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux
[...]
>>> 
>>> try: import dismal
... except ImportError: pass
... 
>>>
