OK, forget it. I'll face the pitchforks.
I'm disappointed though -- it sounds like we can never change anything about Python any more because it will upset the oldtimers.
I'm not averse to changing this - just not to changing it on short notice for 2.5 and causing me pain from having to cut new releases to fix some breakage in the stdlib caused by this <wink>
I wasn't proposing it for 2.5 (for this very reason) -- AFAICT most responses were again st this for 2.6 or 2.7. Hopefully you're okay with Thomas's patch going into 2.5a3 -- it *warns* about directories without __init__.py that otherwise match the requested name. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
