Ah, refusing the temptation to guess. So the idea would be, when attempting to import __main__ under it's original name: 3.2 issue a DeprecationWarning 3.3 raise ImportError It still strikes me as wrong for the base import implementation, but PEP 302 may provide a mechanism for an interpreter shell to add its own "newbie protection" hooks (and that would have the virtue of being available much earlier and with a much lower chance of breaking anything).
