Yes, if they are replacing imp.find_module with the above that would be a bit
of a problem for any code that uses that... and we do use it to find our
debugger modules.

The only thing I can recommend is not monkey patching imp, assuming that
is what is being done here.  I don't quite understand why they would do
this.
