 | # TODO | 
 | # | 
 | # from Finn Bock: | 
 | #   remove use of "strop" -- not available in JPython | 
 | #   type(sys) is not a module in JPython. what to use instead? | 
 | #   imp.C_EXTENSION is not in JPython. same for get_suffixes and new_module | 
 | # | 
 | #   given foo.py of: | 
 | #      import sys | 
 | #      sys.modules['foo'] = sys | 
 | # | 
 | #   ---- standard import mechanism | 
 | #   >>> import foo | 
 | #   >>> foo | 
 | #   <module 'sys' (built-in)> | 
 | # | 
 | #   ---- revamped import mechanism | 
 | #   >>> import imputil | 
 | #   >>> imputil._test_revamp() | 
 | #   >>> import foo | 
 | #   >>> foo | 
 | #   <module 'foo' from 'foo.py'> | 
 | # | 
 | # | 
 | # from MAL: | 
 | #   should BuiltinImporter exist in sys.path or hard-wired in ImportManager? | 
 | #   need __path__ processing | 
 | #   performance | 
 | #   move chaining to a subclass [gjs: it's been nuked] | 
 | #   avoid strop | 
 | #   deinstall should be possible | 
 | #   query mechanism needed: is a specific Importer installed? | 
 | #   py/pyc/pyo piping hooks to filter/process these files | 
 | #   wish list: | 
 | #     distutils importer hooked to list of standard Internet repositories | 
 | #     module->file location mapper to speed FS-based imports | 
 | #     relative imports | 
 | #     keep chaining so that it can play nice with other import hooks | 
 | # | 
 | # from Gordon: | 
 | #   push MAL's mapper into sys.path[0] as a cache (hard-coded for apps) | 
 | # | 
 | # from Guido: | 
 | #   need to change sys.* references for rexec environs | 
 | #   need hook for MAL's walk-me-up import strategy, or Tim's absolute strategy | 
 | #   watch out for sys.modules[...] == None | 
 | #   flag to force absolute imports? (speeds _determine_import_context and | 
 | #       checking for a relative module) | 
 | #   insert names of archives into sys.path  (see quote below) | 
 | #   note: reload does NOT blast module dict | 
 | #   shift import mechanisms and policies around; provide for hooks, overrides | 
 | #       (see quote below) | 
 | #   add get_source stuff | 
 | #   get_topcode and get_subcode | 
 | #   CRLF handling in _compile | 
 | #   race condition in _compile | 
 | #   refactoring of os.py to deal with _os_bootstrap problem | 
 | #   any special handling to do for importing a module with a SyntaxError? | 
 | #       (e.g. clean up the traceback) | 
 | #   implement "domain" for path-type functionality using pkg namespace | 
 | #       (rather than FS-names like __path__) | 
 | #   don't use the word "private"... maybe "internal" | 
 | # | 
 | # | 
 | # Guido's comments on sys.path caching: | 
 | #  | 
 | # We could cache this in a dictionary: the ImportManager can have a | 
 | # cache dict mapping pathnames to importer objects, and a separate | 
 | # method for coming up with an importer given a pathname that's not yet | 
 | # in the cache.  The method should do a stat and/or look at the | 
 | # extension to decide which importer class to use; you can register new | 
 | # importer classes by registering a suffix or a Boolean function, plus a | 
 | # class.  If you register a new importer class, the cache is zapped. | 
 | # The cache is independent from sys.path (but maintained per | 
 | # ImportManager instance) so that rearrangements of sys.path do the | 
 | # right thing.  If a path is dropped from sys.path the corresponding | 
 | # cache entry is simply no longer used. | 
 | # | 
 | # My/Guido's comments on factoring ImportManager and Importer: | 
 | # | 
 | # > However, we still have a tension occurring here: | 
 | # >  | 
 | # > 1) implementing policy in ImportManager assists in single-point policy | 
 | # >    changes for app/rexec situations | 
 | # > 2) implementing policy in Importer assists in package-private policy | 
 | # >    changes for normal, operating conditions | 
 | # >  | 
 | # > I'll see if I can sort out a way to do this. Maybe the Importer class will | 
 | # > implement the methods (which can be overridden to change policy) by | 
 | # > delegating to ImportManager. | 
 | #  | 
 | # Maybe also think about what kind of policies an Importer would be | 
 | # likely to want to change.  I have a feeling that a lot of the code | 
 | # there is actually not so much policy but a *necessity* to get things | 
 | # working given the calling conventions for the __import__ hook: whether | 
 | # to return the head or tail of a dotted name, or when to do the "finish | 
 | # fromlist" stuff. |
