Ideally our imp stuff would get a big cleanup (pretty much a rewrite). 
It's a bit crufty, and what's particularly lame is the imp module not 
totally relying on the main import code's facilities. Which is why we've 
had numerous imp bugs like this
e.g. the imp module's findFromSource is really duplicating 
core.imp.loadFromSource (but core.imp.loadFromSource doesn't return the 
data the imp module needs). CPython's import.c is much cleaner
Anyway I'm just venting my long desire to clean this stuff up the right 
way, I doubt it will happen for 2.5. We'll try to fix this with a 
simpler bandaid for before 2.5
