I know exactly how you feel. :) But there's always Python 3.0, and if we're refactoring the import machinery there, we can do this the right way, not just the "right now" way. ;) IMO, if Py3K does this, it can and should be inclusive of top-level packages and assemble __path__ using all the sys.path entries. If we're going to break it, let's break it all the way. :) I'm still really curious why the importer solution (especially if tucked away in a Google-defined sitecustomize) won't work, though. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
