[New-bugs-announce] [issue14928] Fix importlib bootstrapping issues

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-May/119703.html

Two competing proposals:

- Benjamin: "Perhaps freeze_importlib.py could be rewritten in C, so
importlib could be recompiled when the compiler changes?"

- Martin: "Or we support bootstrapping from the source file, e.g. with an
environment variable BOOTSTRAP_PY which points to the _bootstrap.py
source"
