Rather annoyingly, if you dig into Python's svn repository, it looks like this compatibility provision may have been *accidentally* reverted - http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=59678, look at the changes to import.c and import.h. Accidentally or not, it looks like pycaml will need to be adapted to not use that function. Max.
