Not if you read the PEP. It doesn't explicitly say what should happen.

I want to standardize on raising ImportError. The PEP itself has two ways of signaling an error; findmodule() returns None instead of raising an error to signal it can't do something while path hooks raise ImportError. I just want to be as explicit as possible.

I'm happy with that. As far as I remember, that was the original intention - and you're right, it should be made explicit.

Paul.
