The following code causes an assertion failure in get_encoded_name(), which is called by _PyImport_LoadDynamicModuleWithSpec() (in Python/importdl.c): import imp class BadSpec: name = 42 origin = 'foo' imp.create_dynamic(BadSpec()) this is because _PyImport_LoadDynamicModuleWithSpec() assumes that spec.name is a string. should we fix this (even though imp is deprecated)?

The following code causes an assertion failure in get_encoded_name(), which is
called by _PyImport_LoadDynamicModuleWithSpec() (in Python/importdl.c):

import imp

class BadSpec:
    name = 42
    origin = 'foo'

imp.create_dynamic(BadSpec())


this is because _PyImport_LoadDynamicModuleWithSpec() assumes that spec.name is
a string.


should we fix this (even though imp is deprecated)?
