I don't think there's a need to change anything from your current strategy, but we should be clear in the docs: 1. Finders should *not* assume their parent packages have been loaded (and should not load them implicitly) 2. Loaders *can* assume their parent packages have already been loaded and are present in sys.modules (and can complain if they're not there) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan at gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
