Hi all,

After extended discussion over the last several months on import-sig, the resulting proposal for multi-phase (PEP 451) extension module initialization has finalized. The resulting PEP provides a clean, straight-forward, and backward-compatible way to import extension modules using ModuleSpecs. With that in mind and given the improvement it provides, PEP 489 is now accepted. I want to thank Petr, Nick, and Stefan for the time, thought, and effort they put into the proposal (and implementation). It was a disappointment to me when, at the time, we couldn't find a good way to apply PEP 451 to builtins and extension modules. So thanks for easing my anxiety! -eric
