I'm willing to write code that makes it PEP 302 compliant, if the release manager will bless such an addition. But if that's not acceptable, then somebody needs to produce the necessary documentation updates or revert the patch. It absolutely should not be allowed to remain in and undocumented because it is a backwards-incompatible change to documented behavior of Python for two major releases (2.3 and 2.4).

You don't need a release manager pronouncement for that. It's a bug, changing it is a bug fix, you don't need RM permission to fix a bug.

Do you have a patch ready that restores path_importer_cache behavior, yet preserves the property that it caches existence of a directory? If not, I will have to produce one.
