In python 2.5 the email package (in the standard library) had some 
significant renaming. It kept the old names available for backwards 
compatibility but uses a lazy import mechanism for those that tends to 
confuse packagers. As a result, for example, py2app has (or soon will 
have) a recipe that includes all of email if any of it is imported.

Based on the warnings I see while trying to package my app using 
pyinstaller, I suspect pyinstaller could use an import hook for the 
email package.

The hook need only add hidden modules for Python 2.5 or later.

(Also, Python 2.5.x (x > 0) will not use the old email names in its 
standard library. But the hook would still be useful for 3rd party code.)

So...speaking of such hooks, does one really need to name each module 
separately even for a package, and if so, does one include the main 
directory? For example package foo with subpackage bar, is this the 
right list of hidden modules:
foo
foo.__init__.py
foo.foomodule1.py
...
foo.bar
foo.bar.__init__.py
foo.bar.barmodule1.py
...
or does one elide some of this?
