[Python-Dev] knee.py import hook in 2.6

[Timothy D. Kadich]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the import hook in Python2.6, but I'm having a problem. It
doesn't work for numpy. My error is such:

So I don't know what is going on, unless a "self" is being passed along the
way. (which seems like it could happen when looking at __import__ in the
source)
Can any of you identify my problem or let me know of a fixed import hook?

Thank you,
