And I propose not to disturb this in 2.7, at least not by default. I'm fine though with a flag or distro-overridable config setting to change this behavior.

Cool. I'm not sure this is absolutely necessary for Debian/Ubuntu, so I'll call YAGNI on it for 2.x (until and unless it isn't ;).

Sorry, I was calling YAGNI on any change in behavior of module.file.

What are the chances of getting this into 2.x at all? For it to get into the 2.7, likely to be the last major version in the 2.x series, the PEP needs to be approved and the implementation needs to be feature complete by April 3rd (first beta release according to the schedule [1]).

I'd like to consult with my Debian/Ubuntu Python maintainer colleagues to see if it's worth getting into 2.7. If it is, and we can get a BDFL pronouncement on the PEP (after the next rounds of updates), then I think it will be feasible to implement in the time remaining. Heck, that's what Pycon sprints are for, no? :)
