try / except ? The first succeed is the winner.
I agree with Paul that Gordon's ui is still the best startup point.

from ui.py

        for klass in self.ownertypes:
            try:
                # this may cause an import, which may cause recursion
                # hence the protection
                owner = klass(path)
            except:
                pass
            else:
                break

And, about sys.path, if not plain string/unicode, what's in package
__path__ ?
