If we were going to go down this route (which I'm not at all convinced we should) it should be "from __pypi__ import" not "from __pip__ import" (as PyPI is where the code is coming from, not pip...) With importlib, it would probably be perfectly possible to write a module loader that worked like this. Of course, it's not accessible until you manually install it (with pip) and activate it, but for a prototype that demonstrates how the final version would work, and to thrash out how the various corner cases would be handled, that's a perfectly acceptable compromise. If the design of a 3rd-party implementation looks clean and useful, it would be much easier to debate whether it belongs in the stdlib (if for no other reason than the fact that many of the "how would X work" questions could be answered by reference to the prototype).
