Perhaps ImportWarning should default to being ignored, the same way
PendingDeprecationWarning does?
Then -Wd would become 'the one obvious way' to debug import problems, since it
would switch ImportWarning on without drowning you in a flood of import
diagnostics the way -v can do.
Import Errors could even point you in the right direction:
>>> import mypackage.foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named mypackage.foo
Diagnostic import warnings can be enabled with -Wd
Cheers,
Nick.
