gh-123011: Fix warn_explicit() with the globals of the __main__ module by serhiy-storchaka · Pull Request #155318 · python/cpython

serhiy-storchaka · 2026-08-07T08:55:31Z

warnings.warn_explicit(module_globals=globals()) failed in the __main__ module:

executed as a script it emitted a spurious DeprecationWarning: Module globals is missing a __spec__.loader, because __main__ has __spec__ set to None;
executed with -m it raised ImportError: loader for spam cannot handle __main__, because __name__ was used instead of __spec__.name;
executed as a command or in the REPL it raised ImportError: '__main__' is not a built-in module, because the built-in importer has no source.

The source line is now optional: an ImportError from the loader is no longer propagated.

The pure Python implementation, which uses linecache, was not affected.

Issue: warn_explicit() issues a warning or an error when used directly in a script #123011

… module The __main__ module executed as a script or a command has __spec__ set to None, so warn_explicit(module_globals=globals()) emitted a spurious DeprecationWarning. It also raised ImportError when the loader was unable to provide the source of the module: when the module was executed with -m (the loader can only handle its own module name) or as a command (the built-in importer has no source).

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Buildbot failure ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Hi! The buildbot s390x Fedora Stable Clang Installed 3.x (tier-3) has failed when building commit f2eaf17.

What do you need to do:

Don't panic.
Check the buildbot page in the devguide if you don't know what the buildbots are or how they work.
Go to the page of the buildbot that failed (https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/1645/builds/3237) and take a look at the build logs.
Check if the failure is related to this commit (f2eaf17) or if it is a false positive.
If the failure is related to this commit, please, reflect that on the issue and make a new Pull Request with a fix.

You can take a look at the buildbot page here:

https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/1645/builds/3237

Summary of the results of the build (if available):

Click to see traceback logs

Note: switching to 'f2eaf174b2505be1b3dfbe817db243adf7fd5d6b'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

HEAD is now at f2eaf174b2505b gh-123011: Fix warn_explicit() with the globals of the __main__ module (GH-155318)
Switched to and reset branch 'main'
