It isn't flawed, it is just a *lot* more complicated than most people realise (cf. PEP 302). In this case, the signature of find_module (returning an already open file) is unfortunate, but probably necessary given the way the import internals currently work. As Brett says, returning a loader would be preferable, but the builtin import machinery doesn't have proper loaders defined (and won't until we manage to get to the point where importlib *is* the import machinery).
