[issue19081] zipimport behaves badly when the zip file changes while the process is running

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I dunno Brett - have you read the extension module import code and the zipimport code lately? I don't think I'll be willing to claim to fully understand even the default importers until we've rewritten those as PEP 451 compliant Python code with a couple of essential C level helper functions, just like the rest of the import system :)

As far as this particular issue goes, removing the extra level of caching sounds like a good idea, and http://bugs.python.org/file33614/issue19081-subimport-fix-gps02.diff looks right to me.
