Re: [Python-Dev] Write All New Import Hooks (PEP 302) in Python, Not C
Just van Rossum
I find this rather ugly, and would only do that if it's crucial that the pathless importer should be invoked somewhere in the middle of sys.path. And I don't have a use case for that. There are plenty of use cases for sys.meta_path.
I've not really been following this discussion with utmost care, but the name "meta_path" doesn't move me. Wouldn't sys.importers be better name? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding it's intent -- which is still an argument for a better name.
