Description

Writing the Python bindings has brought to light some weird behaviors that should be addressed:

Module Class

  • has_description throws for default modules (should be false)
  • default modules can be locked (not ready, so should throw)

Research direction

Start by tracing the Module Class behavior used by the Python bindings, focusing on default modules, has_description, and locking. Confirm that has_description returns false for default modules and that locking a not-ready default module throws; verify both behaviors through the relevant binding checks.
