Perhaps ImportWarning should default to being ignored, the same way PendingDeprecationWarning does?

Then -Wd would become 'the one obvious way' to debug import problems +1

I'm not sure what this would achieve -- people who don't know enough about Python to add init.py files aren't going to know enough to make suppressed-by-default warnings not suppressed.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of saying something when an import fails only because of a missing init.py file. I guess I should try to implement it...

Cheers, mwh
