imp.findmodule and zip files
Should imp.find_module() work for modules that are packaged in a zip file in 2.3.x? I'm seeing that this doesn't, and before I dive in to figure out why, I want to see if this is the intent. -- Tom Emerson Basis Technology Corp.

The imp module is not yet updated to have full access to the new import hooks :-(. See near the end of http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0302.html for a discussion of the issues. Just

There's another minor issue with the new import hooks which would be nice to be fixed: to my knowledge, the Py_VerboseFlag is not exposed to the Python layer. Sometimes it would come handy when debugging a custom importer. Thomas
