bpo-42403: Simplify importlib external bootstrap (GH-23397)
Simplify the importlib external bootstrap code:
importlib._bootstrap_external now uses regular imports to import
builtin modules. When it is imported, the builtin __import__()
function is already fully working and so can be used to import
builtin modules like sys.
