I find that I'm unable to follow the import discussion in an e-mail exchange format. This is a complex issue that requires a lot of things to be considered, researched, tested, etc. I find that as I read these e-mails I find points that are potentially contestable, but to meaningfully address them requires me to read the thread from the beginning and by then I lose track of what the point was.
May I suggest that instead of continuing an e-mail thread that we instead try to write a paper/essay on the issue? This could be a text file in SVN somewhere or a wiki somewhere, doesn't really matter.
The key thing is it would be better if we had a document that we could refer to and argue individual points on while the document represented the collection of all issues.
Graham - since you've probably written the most on the subject - do you think you could volunteer to start it?
I think ultimately this document could be placed in the Doc directory so that future generations could read why mod_python does importing a certain (yet to be determined) way.
