Not necessarily; consider Unicode codecs again.  The codecs module has a
register() function for adding a search function.  When you request a codec,
all the registered search functions are called until one returns a match. In
Python 2.1, .pth files can contain code, so a .pth file installed by the
package could automatically register a new search function.
