Hello, You probably know that Python3.3 has a completely new implementation of the import system: http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.3.html#using-importlib-as-the-implementation-of-import (yes, import is now written in Python!)
But there is a missing feature: it has always been possible to install Python modules in the Windows registry: "import foobar" would open the registry key "Software\Python\PythonCore\3.2\Modules\foobar"; if a file name is found there, it's used to import the module; this effectively bypasses the search in sys.path. I know that pywin32 used to install its modules this way in the old times. Nowadays the same feature can be achieved differently, by using sys.meta_path for example. Is this feature still used? Where? Is it acceptable to not support it anymore, and suggest developers to use a more modern method? -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
