Ah, of course.

I eagerly anticipate the day when .require() installs at the start of
sys.path.  Do I understand correctly that, when this happens, we will in
practice be able to do

pkg_resources.require("smth==1.1")
import smth


and be confident that we do indeed have module smth version 1.1?  Sorry if
this is a stupid question...
