When people want to import modules with "runtime" names, they regrettably turn to __import__() and likely will for a while. What a source of headaches!
If it were less convenient to use __import__(), perhaps fewer people would use it. Could we remove it from <module>.__builtins__, so that it would not be found during the lookup chain? We could still expose it in the builtins module or move it to imp. |
