I vaguely recall one of the reasons we went with the warning approach was to
find out whether or not dropping __init__.py would cause serious problems - I
think we have our answer to that question now :)
How does this sound for a way forward?:
2.5b2:
- ignore ImportWarning by default (like PendingDeprecationWarning)
- include in What's New instructions to enable it via the command line or
Python code
2.6:
- only show ImportWarning if the import ultimately fails
- enable ImporWarning by default
- consider allowing a .py extension on a directory name as an alternative to
an __init__.py file.
Google could then change their sitecustomize.py to enable the warning by
default when they roll out 2.5 :)
Cheers,
Nick.
