I think you misunderstood my request: I *don't* want to revamp import.c, I would just like some extra hooks to be able to only replace those few parts which I'd like to extend from time to time, e.g. instead of replacing the complete __import__ machinery, it would be nice to have a callback hook in the finder and another one in the module loader.
I have a some rough code that does this. I've stuck it on my web site at: http://arctrix.com/nas/python/cimport-20020228.tar.gz if anyone is interested. I found that for my application (importing .ptl modules that need to be compiled with a different compiler), imputil did not have the right kind of hooks. ihooks was better but still kunky and slow.
