- Warn-raise ImportWarning when importing would have picked up a directory as package, if only it'd had an init.py. This swaps two tests (for case-ness and init-ness), but case-test is not really more expensive, and it's not in a speed-critical section. For the what's new, I'd like to clarify the purpose of this change. Is the plan to make init.py optional in subpackages in 2.6, and this warning is a first step toward that? Or is this just to improve the error reporting when a directory lacking an init.py is found, and no further changes will be in 2.6?

From what I have read out of the quite lengthy thread on this topic, there's no decision yet.
