This basically breaks the ability to configure the logging as it happens so early (i.e. at the import stage before an authors code is executed). To reproduce/Example: Run this script: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7698632/ Expected outcome: No output to stdout or stderr and the text "log message" in the file "/tmp/example.log Actual outcome: No log file, and this text output to stderr: ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for rubbish ERROR:root:log message Upstream fix: https://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/commit/?id=ac8b59e Regression potential: - The behaviour of raising ImportError on a nonexisting name does not change, but its text changes. Old: ImportError: cannot import name 'foo' New: ImportError: cannot import name foo, introspection typelib not found It's unlikely, however theoretically possible that a program matches on the precise error message. - It's theoretically possible that a program watches for the logged error message and ignores the ImportError. However, that would be extremely bad design, un-Pythonic and brittle as the logging format/destination can be changed arbitrarily. In summary the regression potential is very low.
