The import machinery checks if sys.postimporthooks contains post import hooks for the newly loaded module. If hooks are found then the hooks are called in the order they were registered with the module instance as first argument. The processing of the hooks is stopped when a method raises an exception. At the end the entry for the module name is removed from sys.postimporthooks, even when an error has occured.

Doesn't the module remain in post_import_hooks, only mapped to None to indicate that any hooks should be run immediately? (Finding an object in sys.modules isn't enough, due to the possibility of it being a 3rd party lazy module rather than the actual module).

Cheers, Nick.
