Georg Brandl f4ef11659c Need for speed: Patch #921466 : sys.path_importer_cache is now used to cache valid and
invalid file paths for the built-in import machinery which leads to
  fewer open calls on startup.

  Also fix issue with PEP 302 style import hooks which lead to more open()
  calls than necessary.

Phillip J. Eby ceb3087e1c Second phase of refactoring for runpy, pkgutil, pydoc, and setuptools
to share common PEP 302 support code, as described here:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063724.html

pydoc now supports PEP 302 importers, by way of utility functions in
pkgutil, such as 'walk_packages()'.  It will properly document
modules that are in zip files, and is backward compatible to Python
2.3 (setuptools installs for Python <2.5 will bundle it so pydoc
doesn't break when used with eggs.)

What has not changed is that pydoc command line options do not support
zip paths or other importer paths, and the webserver index does not
support sys.meta_path.  Those are probably okay as limitations.

Tasks remaining: write docs and Misc/NEWS for pkgutil/pydoc changes,
and update setuptools to use pkgutil wherever possible, then add it
to the stdlib.

Phillip J. Eby ab1d245871 First phase of refactoring for runpy, pkgutil, pydoc, and setuptools
to share common PEP 302 support code, as described here:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063724.html

This revision strips all the PEP 302 emulation code from runpy,
replacing it with published API classes and functions in pkgutil,
mostly using setuptools' implementation of common functionality,
but adding features from runpy, and doing some refactoring to make
the layer pydoc needs easier to implement on top of this.

One step down, four to go, although step #4 (adding C versions of
the new APIs to 'imp') may not be able to make it in time for
alpha 2.  We'll see how that goes.

Guido van Rossum a4deda0d11 Last week we discussed adding this module to the standard library.
Here's a draft.  I have no immediate use for it, but I'd like this to
be available for experimentation.  I may withdraw it or change it
radically up to and including the release of Python 2.3b1.
