Right on, that seemed to work, thanks.
This is different than sys.path_hooks though, which requires a callable or
string subclass?
After some experimentation it looks like you can disallow an import by
raising an import error from your meta_path hook. It seems a little weird
that python will then raise a new ImportError from import.c:find_module(),
but I guess the behavior is desirable..
