Precedence of .mpy & .py

[poesel]

Hi,

if I have:

/lib/foo.py
/lib/foo.mpy
&
sys.path=['/lib']

Which module has precedence?

What if:

/lib/foo.py
/libmpy/foo.mpy
&
sys.path=['/libmpy','/lib']

What happens here?

Thanks!

Given the statement: "import foo"

The implementation is:

Code: Select all

for each dir in sys.path:
  try foo/  (i.e "foo" is a package)
  try foo.py
  try foo.mpy

I'm fairly sure the answer is therefore "foo.py" in the first case, and "/libmpy/foo.mpy" in the second case. But this is pretty easy to confirm for yourself -- see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7350&p=42007

Thanks - your explanation and the linked thread helped me understand it!
