Also, if we do our own directory caching, the question is when to invalidate the cache.I think I'd be happy with having to do that explicitly. I expect the vast majority of Python programs don't need to track changes to the set of importable modules during execution. The exceptions would be things like IDEs, and they could do a cache flush before reloading a module, etc.
Not only IDE's, also the interactive prompt. It is very convenient that you can currently install an additional module when an import fails and then try the import again (at the python prompt).
