So is the PEP ready for pronouncement or should there be more discussion? I think Brett's idea is worth incorporating, so let's thrash that out first.

Also, do you have a BDFL-delegate or do you want me to review it? No-one has stepped up as BDFL-delegate, and there's no obvious candidate, so I think you're it, sorry :-)

If Guido isn't keen, I'd be willing to cover it as the current runpy module maintainer and the one that updated this part of the interpreter startup sequence to handle the switch to importlib in 3.3.

The PEP itself doesn't actually touch any of that internal machinery though, it just makes the capability a bit more discoverable and user-friendly.

Regards, Nick.
