repr(six.moves) throws an AttributeError for cpython 3.12

import six.moves

repr(six.moves)

output (Python 3.12.0rc3+):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/frank/projects/executing/bug.py", line 3, in <module>

AttributeError: '_SixMetaPathImporter' object has no attribute '_path'

Looks like the cause is CPython's python/cpython@bd221c0, which expects the spec to have the _path parameter, although this attribute is not mentioned explicitly in the PEP302 (Import hooks PEP).

Not sure if the right fix would be there or adding a _path attribute to six's meta importer.

[15r10nk]

looks to me like this should be fixed in cpython. It should also be a problem for any importer, or is there a reason why they should have a _path attribute?

Did anyone file a CPython bug?

[15r10nk]

I did not. but I am having trouble making a repro without six. I would be nice if someone else could submit a bug report.

I was running into this issue on 3.12.0 but it looks like this has been fixed on 3.12.1: python/cpython#112414.
