If you grow sys.path, imports get slower. (IMHO it also makes the source tree more cumbersome to navigate)

It shouldn't slow down successful imports. The module finder stops at first hit.

A directory with pure Python modules is less cumbersome than a couple of facade modules or intended code in try/except ImportError blocks.
