(Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though 'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.) - Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and UserString.UserString. - Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for UserString.MutableString. - Add tests for all new functionality. ........

+:mod:`imputil` --- Import utilities
+=====================================================
+
+.. module:: imputil
+ :synopsis: Manage and augment the import process.
+
+
+.. index:: statement: import
+
+This module provides a very handy and useful mechanism for custom
+:keyword:`import` hooks. Compared to the older :mod:`ihooks` module,
+:mod:`imputil` takes a dramatically simpler and more straight-forward
+approach to custom :keyword:`import` functions.
+
+
+.. class:: ImportManager([fs_imp])
+
+ Manage the import process.
+
+ .. method:: ImportManager.install([namespace])
+
+ Install this ImportManager into the specified namespace.
+
+ .. method:: ImportManager.uninstall()
+
+ Restore the previous import mechanism.
+
+ .. method:: ImportManager.add_suffix(suffix, importFunc)
+
+ Undocumented.
+
+
+.. class:: Importer()
+
+ Base class for replacing standard import functions.
+
+ .. method:: Importer.import_top(name)
+
+ Import a top-level module.
+
+ .. method:: Importer.get_code(parent, modname, fqname)
+
+ Find and retrieve the code for the given module.
+
+ *parent* specifies a parent module to define a context for importing.
+ It may be ``None``, indicating no particular context for the search.
+
+ *modname* specifies a single module (not dotted) within the parent.
+
+ *fqname* specifies the fully-qualified module name. This is a
+ (potentially) dotted name from the "root" of the module namespace
+ down to the modname.
+
+ If there is no parent, then modname==fqname.
+
+ This method should return ``None``, or a 3-tuple.
+
+ * If the module was not found, then ``None`` should be returned.
+
+ * The first item of the 2- or 3-tuple should be the integer 0 or 1,
+ specifying whether the module that was found is a package or not.
+
+ * The second item is the code object for the module (it will be
+ executed within the new module's namespace). This item can also
+ be a fully-loaded module object (e.g. loaded from a shared lib).
+
+ * The third item is a dictionary of name/value pairs that will be
+ inserted into new module before the code object is executed. This
+ is provided in case the module's code expects certain values (such
+ as where the module was found). When the second item is a module
+ object, then these names/values will be inserted *after* the module
+ has been loaded/initialized.
+
+
+.. class:: BuiltinImporter()
+
+ Emulate the import mechanism for builtin and frozen modules. This is a
+ sub-class of the :class:`Importer` class.
+
+ .. method:: BuiltinImporter.get_code(parent, modname, fqname)
+
+ Undocumented.
+
+.. function:: py_suffix_importer(filename, finfo, fqname)
+
+ Undocumented.
+
+.. class:: DynLoadSuffixImporter([desc])
+
+ Undocumented.
+
+ .. method:: DynLoadSuffixImporter.import_file(filename, finfo, fqname)
+
+ Undocumented.

+Examples
+--------
+
+This is a re-implementation of hierarchical module import.
+
+This code is intended to be read, not executed. However, it does work
+-- all you need to do to enable it is "import knee".
+
+(The name is a pun on the klunkier predecessor of this module, "ni".)
