I don't know.  So far I believe that we have found a reasonable compromize,
though I'm not sure how painful it will become in the future.  I think that
the py lib (and most "reasonable" packages) can already be imported both with
Python's __import__ and with the py lib's system, so it's fine to use one or
the other depending on the situation.  Plus, bootstrapping is always messy...
