Eric and I spent some time discussing this today, and don't see any insurmountable barriers to doing it as an import hook. It may mean doing a 2.7 compatible full importlib backport, but that's also useful for other reasons. We may also want to consider/discuss integrating this idea with the python-future project rather than making it a new independent project, as that provides ready access to Python 3 style builtins that a hook could inject as globals in flagged files. Regardless, I think we're now drifting off topic for python-dev - Eric and I are still at the sprints, so we'll take a look at the feasibility of proposing this to Ed and the other python-future devs (I also have some ideas around using sitecustomize to put an entire Python installation into enforcement mode for flagged files). Any other related suggestions should probably be directed to python-ideas at this point. Cheers, Nick.
