Well, a side-effect of this is that all package imports will suddenly
spike the number of stat calls linearly to the number of entries on
sys.path.
"All package imports"? "Spike"?
Another option is to use a pth file that imports your module (as like
_dbm_sqlite.py or something) and have it, as a side-effect of
importing, set itself on dbm.
That adds an import to startup time, whether you use the package or
not. At least extend_path will only take effect if you actually
import that package.
