Многие из тех кто активно работал с Python2 несколько удивлены, почему в Python3 удобная функция reload() переехала из builtin в imp а потом и в importlib?
Ну было же удобно! А теперь лишний импорт😖
Дело в том, что начиная с Python3.3 функция reload() переписана на Python вместо Cи.
Что это нам даёт?
🔸 Такой код проще поддерживать и развивать
🔸 Python код легче читать, изучать и понимать.
Сравните это ➡️ и это ➡️.
🔸 Как результат пункта 2, проще писать свои расширения импорта. Например, пользовательский импортёр с какой-либо хитрой логикой по аналогии с импортом из zip архивов.
А есть ли у этого решения недостатки? Да, они всегда есть.
🔹 Так как это не builtin функция, её следует импортнуть перед использованием
🔹 Скорость замедлилась примерно на 5%. Очевидно, что это совершенно не критично. К тому же от версии к версии логика импорта будет оптимизироваться и ускоряться.
В самом начале файла importlib/__init__.py мы видим такой импорт:
import _imp # Just the builtin component, NOT the full Python module
То есть часть функционала по прежнему написана на Си, но достаточно низкоуровневая.

#Update: ‘We leave these accusations to the judgment of conscience’: #Wazema Media rebuffs Media Authority claims after announcement to return license
Addis Abeba – Wazema Media (Wazema Radio) has issued a response to the Ethiopian Media Authority (EMA), clarifying that the return of its operating license was a result of a direct order and rejecting allegations of ethical misconduct.
In a statement released late Saturday, the media outlet confirmed it had complied with the regulator’s directive while expressing deep disappointment over the measure.
“As per the Authority’s order on Thursday to return our license, we have done so today. The [EMA] statement was released within hours of us doing this,” the management of Wazema stated, adding the compliance to return the license was based on the order from the regulator.

News: #Ethiopian Media Authority announces return of #Wazema Media operating license on allegations of ‘ethical violations’
Addis Abeba – The Ethiopian Media Authority (#EMA) announced today that Wazema Media, commonly known as Wazema Radio, has returned its operational license in Ethiopia.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Authority claimed the media outlet returned its recognition and license because it was "unwilling to work while respecting the Ethiopian Constitution and the Media Proclamation, as well as guidelines and professional ethics."
The EMA, which had granted Wazema Media an online media license, stated that its decision followed continuous monitoring and "tips and comments" received from the public.
According to the regulator, Wazema’s reporting was found to be "contrary to the country's national interest, lacking balance, [and] failing to include responses from federal and regional governments."
The Authority further alleged that...

News: “Closing independent media outlets like #Wazema and #Addis_Standard is an attack on freedom of expression and democratic principles” – #EPRP
The #Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party (EPRP) has condemned the closure of independent media institutions, describing actions against outlets including Wazema and Addis Standard as “an attack on freedom of expression and democratic principles,” as the Committee to Protect Journalists (#CPJ) called on authorities to immediately restore Addis Standard’s registration, warning that the move amounts to retaliation rather than regulation.
In a statement issued today, 25 February 2026, the party said shutting down independent media, revoking licenses of international outlets, and harassing media professionals undermines the country’s democratic trajectory.
“Preaching free and democratic elections while banning media, arresting and chasing away journalists, and locking down the civic space is mocking the public...
