[issue29351] absolute imports for logging

[Markus Gerstel]

New submission from Markus Gerstel:

Running 'import logging' causes at minimum 46 failing 'open' and 12 failing 
'stat' calls because python looks for packages inside python/Lib/logging which 
will never be there, in particular: sys, os, time, cStringIO, traceback, 
warnings, weakref, collections, codecs, thread, threading, atexit.

The impact of this is limited when python is installed locally, but noticeable 
when run on a networked file system.


How to reproduce: 
run 
$ strace python -c "import logging;" 2>&1 | grep ENOENT | grep "\/logging\/"


How to fix:
Add 'from __future__ import absolute_import' to all files in the logging 
directory.
A relevant patch is attached.

[issue29351] absolute imports for logging

[Markus Gerstel]

Markus Gerstel added the comment:

Yes, this is indeed the same for other stdlib modules, too. Logging is just the 
first one that came to attention in our investigations.

I haven't prepared any other patches yet though, because your answer could 
easily be "No, we cannot consider these changes under any circumstances for 2.7 
because $reason".
