to do
/////
* Create reasonable base tests that all finders and loaders must pass so
that various implementations can just subclass as needed.
* Reorganize support code.
+ Separate general support code and importer-specific (e.g. source) support
code.
- Create support modules for each subdirectory (as needed).
+ Add a file loader mock that returns monotonically increasing mtime.
- Use in source/test_reload.
- Use in source/test_load_module_mixed.
* API simplification?
+ read_source -> get_data/source_path
+ read_bytecode -> get_data/bytecode_path
+ write_bytecode -> complete set of bytes for bytecode instead of
individual arguments.
* Create meta_path importer for sys.path.
* OPTIMIZE!
+ Write benchmark suite.
+ Fast path common cases.
- Absolute name from sys.path.
- Relative name from sys.path.
* Implement PEP 302 protocol for loaders (should just be a matter of testing).
+ Built-in.
+ Frozen.
+ Extension.
+ Source/bytecode.
* Public API to expose (w/ docs!)
