I don't think there's a need to change anything from your current strategy, but we should be clear in the docs: 1. Finders should *not* assume their parent packages have been loaded (and should not load them implicitly) 2. Loaders *can* assume their parent packages have already been loaded and are present in sys.modules (and can complain if they're not there) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
