+.. class:: SourcelessFileLoader(fullname, path)
A concrete implementation of :class:`importlib.abc.FileLoader` which can
import bytecode files (i.e. no source code files exist).
- It is **strongly** suggested you do not rely on this loader (hence the
- leading underscore of the class). Direct use of bytecode files (and thus not
- source code files) inhibits your modules from being usable by all Python
- implementations. It also runs the risk of your bytecode files not being
- usable by new versions of Python which change the bytecode format. This
- class is only documented as it is directly used by import and thus can
- potentially have instances show up as a module's ``__loader__`` attribute.
+ Please note that direct use of bytecode files (and thus not source code
+ files) inhibits your modules from being usable by all Python
+ implementations or new versions of Python which change the bytecode
+ format.
