+   searches the current :data:`sys.path`, plus any modules that are frozen or

+
+.. function:: find_loader(fullname)
+
+   Find a :pep:`302` "loader" object for *fullname*.
+
+   If *fullname* contains dots, path must be the containing package's
+   ``__path__``.  Returns ``None`` if the module cannot be found or imported.

+   Windows registry.
+
+
+.. function:: get_importer(path_item)
+
+   Retrieve a :pep:`302` importer for the given *path_item*.
+
+   The returned importer is cached in :data:`sys.path_importer_cache` if it was
+   newly created by a path hook.
+
+   If there is no importer, a wrapper around the basic import machinery is
+   returned.  This wrapper is never inserted into the importer cache (None is
+   inserted instead).
+
+   The cache (or part of it) can be cleared manually if a rescan of
+   :data:`sys.path_hooks` is necessary.

+.. function:: get_loader(module_or_name)
+
+   Get a :pep:`302` "loader" object for *module_or_name*.
+
+   If the module or package is accessible via the normal import mechanism, a
+   wrapper around the relevant part of that machinery is returned.  Returns
+   ``None`` if the module cannot be found or imported.  If the named module is
+   not already imported, its containing package (if any) is imported, in order
+   to establish the package ``__path__``.

+
+
+.. function:: iter_importers(fullname='')
+
+   Yield :pep:`302` importers for the given module name.
+
+   If fullname contains a '.', the importers will be for the package containing
+   fullname, otherwise they will be importers for :data:`sys.meta_path`,
+   :data:`sys.path`, and Python's "classic" import machinery, in that order.  If
+   the named module is in a package, that package is imported as a side effect
+   of invoking this function.
+
+   Non-:pep:`302` mechanisms (e.g. the Windows registry) used by the standard
+   import machinery to find files in alternative locations are partially
+   supported, but are searched *after* :data:`sys.path`.  Normally, these
+   locations are searched *before* :data:`sys.path`, preventing :data:`sys.path`
+   entries from shadowing them.
+
+   For this to cause a visible difference in behaviour, there must be a module
+   or package name that is accessible via both :data:`sys.path` and one of the
+   non-:pep:`302` file system mechanisms.  In this case, the emulation will find
+   the former version, while the builtin import mechanism will find the latter.
+
+   Items of the following types can be affected by this discrepancy:
+   ``imp.C_EXTENSION``, ``imp.PY_SOURCE``, ``imp.PY_COMPILED``,
+   ``imp.PKG_DIRECTORY``.
+
+
+.. function:: iter_modules(path=None, prefix='')
+
+   Yields ``(module_loader, name, ispkg)`` for all submodules on *path*, or, if
+   path is ``None``, all top-level modules on ``sys.path``.
+
+   *path* should be either ``None`` or a list of paths to look for modules in.
+
+   *prefix* is a string to output on the front of every module name on output.
+
+
+.. function:: walk_packages(path=None, prefix='', onerror=None)

+   *path* should be either ``None`` or a list of paths to look for modules in.

+   the given *path*, in order to access the ``__path__`` attribute to find
