Strange... I would have thought that this new patch would stir up some cheers or opposition. Has anyone tried it in some real apps ? It would be interesting to see whether it breaks any code in e.g. packages such as Pmw, PIL, Zope's packages or NumPy. It doesn't break anything for my packages or apps.
It changes the default import mechanism to work like this:
import d try a.b.c.d try a.b.d try a.d try d fail
instead of just doing the current two-level lookup:
import d try a.b.c.d try d fail
