It works, but it requires that everyone who could run into this problem carefully add some extra guard code to every stdlib import statement, and in practice nobody will (or at least, not until after they've already gotten bitten by this at least once... at which point they no longer need it). Given that AFAICT there's no reason this couldn't be part of the default import system's functionality and "just work" for everyone, if I were going to spend time on trying to fix this I'd probably target that :-). (I guess the trickiest bit would be to find an efficient and maintainable way to check whether a given package name is present in the stdlib.) -n -- Nathaniel J.
