Bug description:
If you callimportlib.reload() with astr, there's a huge amount of unnecessary detail in the traceback that makes it look like there's an internal error in the function itself:
>>> import importlib>>> import typing>>> importlib.reload("typing")Traceback (most recent call last): File"/Users/alexw/.pyenv/versions/3.13.0/lib/python3.13/importlib/__init__.py", line101, inreload name= module.__spec__.name^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^AttributeError:'str' object has no attribute '__spec__'. Did you mean: '__doc__'?During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:Traceback (most recent call last): File"/Users/alexw/.pyenv/versions/3.13.0/lib/python3.13/importlib/__init__.py", line104, inreload name= module.__name__^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^AttributeError:'str' object has no attribute '__name__'.
