Hmm, interesting call - fixing this doesn't actually require a new
public API, since it's just a new data attribute protected by the
import lock that is used to pass state information from importdl.c to
moduleobject.c. I'm inclined to say "no" myself, but it's a close run
thing.

So +1 for fixing it in 3.3, and -0 for calling it a bug rather than a
missing feature and also fixing it in 2.7

Cheers,
Nick.
