WOW! with a sample python program: in 2.7 there are: stats open 2736 9037 in 3.3 288 57 now I have to fix my 2.7 to work with 3.3 :-) any chance that this can be backported to 2.7?

Not a chance. It is all based on using importlib as the default import mechanism, and that's a gory piece of work that we wouldn't port in a bugfix release.

Antoine.
