I'll let this go for now, but this should *not* be fixed this way: it
breaks when multiple interpreters are used.  This must be fixed before
2.3b1 is released.  (And you never explained why you couldn't
restructure your main program to avoid doing actions as a side effect
of import, as I suggested.)
