Re: [Python-Dev] Locked-in defect? 32-bit hash values on 64-bit builds

If the ABI is frozen with 3.2, it would still be possible to introduce "wide" hashes - it just will have to be a compatible change. > The thread seems to show agreement that the hash values should be > Py_ssize_t but the chance to fix it will be lost unless core devs get > more time to work on the problem or unless the ABI freeze is deferred. I agree in principle, also, but would like to see some analysis on existing third-party modules.

[Python-Dev] Exposing pkguitl's import emulation (was Re: [Python-checkins] r85538 - python/branches/py3k/Doc/library/pkgutil.rst)
I'm a little dubious about exposing these officially. They're mainly a hack to get some parts of the standard library working (e.g. runpy) in the absence of full PEP 302 support in the imp module, not really something we want to encourage anyone else to use (and yes, they should probably have underscores in their names, but we missed that when the various private implementations scattered around the stdlib were consolidated in pkgutil). That said, who knows when we'll actually have it done right, so in the meantime maybe having an official workaround is better than nothing...
