IMO, the interpreter core should perform as little searching as
possible. Basically, it should only contain bootstrap stuff. It should
look for a standard importing module and load that. After it is loaded,
the import mechanism should defer to Python for all future imports. (the
cost of running Python code is minimal against the I/O used by the
import)

IMO #2, the standard importing module should operate along the lines of
imputil.py.
