bpo-39336: Allow packages to not let their child modules be set on them (#18006)
 
* bpo-39336: Allow setattr to fail on modules which aren't assignable

When attaching a child module to a package if the object in sys.modules raises an AttributeError (e.g. because it is immutable) it causes the whole import to fail.  This now allows immutable packages to exist and an ImportWarning is reported and the AttributeError exception is ignored.

Undocumented Modules
********************

Here's a quick listing of modules that are currently undocumented, but that
should be documented.  Feel free to contribute documentation for them!  (Send
via email to docs@python.org.)

The idea and original contents for this chapter were taken from a posting by
Fredrik Lundh; the specific contents of this chapter have been substantially
revised.


Platform specific modules
=========================

These modules are used to implement the :mod:`os.path` module, and are not
documented beyond this mention.  There's little need to document these.

:mod:`ntpath`
   --- Implementation of :mod:`os.path` on Win32 and Win64 platforms.

:mod:`posixpath`
   --- Implementation of :mod:`os.path` on POSIX.
