This one is technically by design. The python code which calls __import__/does import is the one

instead of being a runtime feature. If we were to make that change it'd also mean "import
System" wouldn't bring in .NET attributes either. But that'd probably be something for
IronPython 3k as it's a fairly significant breaking change. It'd be interesting to hear if people
would like one way over the other.
The difficulty is that adding an (apparently innocuous) import hook in
your code can break third party code (in the form of compiled IronPython
modules) which you may not have the source code to.

Subject: [IronPython] Patching __import__ can break .NET attribute
access
Hello all,
If you patch __builtin__.__import__, even with something that delegates
to the real __import__, then accessing .NET attributes can break.
Attached are two Python files, place them in the same directory and
run:
ipy first.py
and get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "first.py", line 12, in first.py
File "C:\buildshare\test.py", line 6, in function
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'MaxValue'
All it does is patch __import__ so that all imports are printed.
This is with Python 2.0.1.
All the best,
Michael
