# 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.
