When a module is lazily imported using
importlib.util.LazyLoader
, the module's spec is modified and theloader_state
member is overwritten with a dictionary constructed by theLazyLoader
's code. Unfortunately, this breaks our frozen importer, because ourfind_spec
implementation uses that field to store the PYZ entry name, andexec_module
reads it before trying to look-up the code object in the PYZ. (And this seems to be necessary to handle aliased modules, such aspkg_resources._vendor.jaraco.text
being aliased aspkg_resources.extern.jaraco.text
).See for an example in the wild: #7655 (comment)
