Loaders +wishing to support resource reading are expected to implement the +``get_resource_reader(fullname)`` method. + +Also add :mod:`importlib.resources` as the stdlib port of the +``importlib_resources`` PyPI package. The modules provides a high-level +API for end-users to read resources in a nicer fashion than having to +directly interact with low-level details such as loaders. + +Thanks to this work, :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceLoader` has now +been documented as deprecated due to its under-specified nature and +lack of features as provided by :class:`importlib.abc.ResourceReader`. |
