.. c:function:: PyObject* PyImport_GetImporter(PyObject *path)
- Return an importer object for a :data:`sys.path`/:attr:`pkg.__path__` item
+ Return a finder object for a :data:`sys.path`/:attr:`pkg.__path__` item
*path*, possibly by fetching it from the :data:`sys.path_importer_cache`
dict. If it wasn't yet cached, traverse :data:`sys.path_hooks` until a hook
is found that can handle the path item. Return ``None`` if no hook could;
- this tells our caller it should fall back to the built-in import mechanism.
- Cache the result in :data:`sys.path_importer_cache`. Return a new reference
- to the importer object.
+ this tells our caller that the :term:`path based finder` could not find a
