It would not guess anything, it would iterate thru sys.path, as it usually does, and would give the hook a chance to see if the needed file exists. This proposal is also about *modules* and treats packages just as "hierarchical structure of modules" (Python does more than that, but this is "dead simple import hooks"). > Maybe this proposal is good - but possibly, just cutingt the "full > basename" and pass > to the "simple hook" whatever string is on the import statement would > be better. That's already possible, just hook into __import__() (or one of the other extension points provided by importlib). It's exactly the "convert full hierarchical module name into the actual file path" what's the boring part of it, and what I want to leave to the existing import system.
