Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

Saying "the available functionality is massively inefficient" is unnecessarily 
hostile towards those of us who actually wrote and maintain that code. Without 
diving into the code, chances are that requirement is there so that the C code 
can use macros to access the list as efficiently as possible.

Now if you want to propose specific changes to importlib's code for it to work 
with iterables instead of just lists then we would be happy to review the pull 
request.
