Hmm, now I don't understand again. What "operating environment" might there be, other than - os.environ - code that gets executed before the import ? There are clearly application design issues involved here (application configuration via initialisation files, plugin registries, etc etc). But in purely technical terms, don't they all boil down to executing a registration function (either directly by the user, or by the application on behalf of the user)? I don't think I'd expect anything at the language (or base library) level beyond a registration function and possibly an OS environment check.
