[New-bugs-announce] [issue18055] Stop using imp in IDLE

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

As part of issue #14797 I'm trying to remove all uses of imp.find_module/load_module since the API is so bad in the face of importers. See the attached patch to replace the one use in IDLE. It should actually be more accepting of alternative importers than the original code.

Since I'm not an IDLE user I'm not comfortable with committing w/o an IDLE dev signing off on it, so please let me know if I can commit it (I would only bother in 3.4 unless you really want it in the 3.3 branch).
