683 # method for coming up with an importer given a pathname that's not yet
684 # in the cache. The method should do a stat and/or look at the
685 # extension to decide which importer class to use; you can register new
686 # importer classes by registering a suffix or a Boolean function, plus a
687 # class. If you register a new importer class, the cache is zapped.
688 # The cache is independent from sys.path (but maintained per
689 # ImportManager instance) so that rearrangements of sys.path do the
690 # right thing. If a path is dropped from sys.path the corresponding
691 # cache entry is simply no longer used.
693 # My/Guido's comments on factoring ImportManager and Importer:
695 # > However, we still have a tension occurring here:
697 # > 1) implementing policy in ImportManager assists in single-point policy
698 # > changes for app situations
699 # > 2) implementing policy in Importer assists in package-private policy
700 # > changes for normal, operating conditions
702 # > I'll see if I can sort out a way to do this. Maybe the Importer class will
703 # > implement the methods (which can be overridden to change policy) by
704 # > delegating to ImportManager.
706 # Maybe also think about what kind of policies an Importer would be
707 # likely to want to change. I have a feeling that a lot of the code
708 # there is actually not so much policy but a *necessity* to get things
709 # working given the calling conventions for the __import__ hook: whether
710 # to return the head or tail of a dotted name, or when to do the "finish
