[John M. Hackett]

Thanks both - that's a bit clearer now. 

I didn't get a patch, Ilya. Can you send me the link to your fork?

> pyqtdeploy implements a ‘loader’, that loads packages anytime an import

> You can search for ‘PEP302’ and within that document search for ‘get_data’.
> Basically it says that method is optional, and from what Ilya said,
> pyqtdeploy’s implementation of the loader API did not implement that
