701 # Guido's comments on sys.path caching:
703 # We could cache this in a dictionary: the ImportManager can have a
704 # cache dict mapping pathnames to importer objects, and a separate
705 # method for coming up with an importer given a pathname that's not yet
706 # in the cache. The method should do a stat and/or look at the
707 # extension to decide which importer class to use; you can register new
708 # importer classes by registering a suffix or a Boolean function, plus a
709 # class. If you register a new importer class, the cache is zapped.
710 # The cache is independent from sys.path (but maintained per
711 # ImportManager instance) so that rearrangements of sys.path do the
712 # right thing. If a path is dropped from sys.path the corresponding
713 # cache entry is simply no longer used.
715 # My/Guido's comments on factoring ImportManager and Importer:
717 # > However, we still have a tension occurring here:
719 # > 1) implementing policy in ImportManager assists in single-point policy
720 # > changes for app/rexec situations
721 # > 2) implementing policy in Importer assists in package-private policy
722 # > changes for normal, operating conditions
724 # > I'll see if I can sort out a way to do this. Maybe the Importer class will

728 # Maybe also think about what kind of policies an Importer would be
729 # likely to want to change. I have a feeling that a lot of the code
730 # there is actually not so much policy but a *necessity* to get things
731 # working given the calling conventions for the __import__ hook: whether
732 # to return the head or tail of a dotted name, or when to do the "finish
733 # fromlist" stuff.
