This does not mean source-less deployments are not possible though. To
support this use case, you'd have to write a custom import hook.
What????
I don't like this idea at all. I object to being forced to
jump through an obscure hoop to do something that's been
totally straightforward until now.
I thought we agreed at the language summit that if a .pyc was in the
place of the source file it *could* be imported from - making pyc only
distributions possible. As the pyc files are in the __pycache__ (or
whatever) directory by default they *won't* be importable without the
source files. A pyc only distribution can easily be created though with
this scheme.
