})
# note: if you supply your own opener, i'd recommand inheriting/implementing the
# status handling features from class DefaultErrorHandler below.
sys.path.insert(0, "http://your.url") #this may already be there, like setting
#PYTHONPATH
#but there is a danger default import
#would try it before
expect to have access to your modules at http://your.url

TODO:
- check what's mpath all about.

TODO later:
- python 3.1 support. preliminary work done
- url import of zipped modules
- support of other urls, like ssh, svn, hg, bzr, cvs etc.
- reload c extensions. well, they don't allways reload in local import either,
but my module does reload locally, so why not remotely?
introspection will help.
- swithch the usage of debug with some logging, and do some cleanup of the
calls.
