Brett Cannon f9f0458961 merge emphasized discouragement of overriding __import__ 2013-08-23 11:00:04 -04:00
Brett Cannon f5ebd26403 Emphasize that people should not override __import__.
With importlib getting used more and more, changing __import__ will
not work as well as people used to hope as it will potentially bypass
importers, etc. It also will not work with importlib.import_module()
as it uses "importlib.__import__" (i.e. importlib's implementation of
import) directly and not builtins.__import__.
