Bug report

Bug description:

Create two files as follows:

main.py:

import importlib.util import inspect import sys # https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#implementing-lazy-imports def lazy_import(name): spec = importlib.util.find_spec(name) loader = importlib.util.LazyLoader(spec.loader) spec.loader = loader module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec) sys.modules[name] = module loader.exec_module(module) return module lazy_import('m') f = inspect.currentframe() inspect.getframeinfo(f)

m.py:

print("I'm loaded!")

Now run:

$ python main.py  I'm loaded!

This behavior doesn't make much sense, since f isn't even inside m.
