[issue28424] pkgutil.get_data() doesn't work with namespace packages

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

Xiang is right about why this doesn't work. If you would like to propose a patch to update the wording of the docs, Douglas, we could then consider applying it. It could be as simple as just adding "(e.g. the load for namespace packages does not implement get_data())".

And there is no equivalent feature in importlib (yet; it's on my todo list).
