I'm currently testing a pure Python version of mxDateTime (my date/time package), which uses a contributed Python version of the C extension. Now, to avoid problems with pickled DateTime objects (they include the complete module name), I would like to name *both* the Python and the C extension version mxDateTime. With the current lookup scheme (shared mods are searched before Python modules) this is no problem since the shared mod is found before the Python version and used instead, so getting this working is rather simple. The question is: will this setup remain a feature in future versions of Python ? (Does it work this way on all platforms ?)
