If
PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx
is called with an empty filename or module name, references to any Python variables defined in this context may break assumptions in standard library code.Notably, if
inspect.stack()
is called while any stack frame holds a reference to a variable declared in this Python snippet, andfile_name
is empty, theninspect.stack()
will throw while trying to resolve the file in which said variable was defined.The
exec
builtin handles this by defaultingfile_name
to<string>
andmodule_name
to<module>
- these are not the most obvious defaults, but in the spirit of consistency and providing pyo3 users with a safe API, it makes sense forPyModule::from_code
to do the same.Fixes #4769
