You're right; when I hit apache with ab, I get all sorts of import problems
when importing handlers. Well, even with ab the failure rate is less than
10%; it's just something I accept and start enough servers to mitigate the
problem.
The ihooks module is deprecated and is not used in any way in the new
I was suggesting to use it solely as an example to benchmark how a pure
Python importing mechanism would perform. God, I hope nobody ever tries to
use it for any purpose other than educational!
[...other stuff here that I appreciate the problems in dealing with, but IMO

Even in Vampire where I have the import hook stuff working, it isn't on
by default
and I would not suggest that it should be on by default.
Then why are we debating this? :-) We seem to be in agreement here.
