Comment (by davidsarah):

 Replying to [comment:15 zooko]:
 > For future reference, the [https://launchpad.net/exocet "exocet"] tool
 from Allen Short is an importer (which I think means it replaces the thing
 that currently implements the {{{import}}} keyword) which can do things
 like blacklist modules.

 Well, that's only 6 lines in [attachment:pywin32-just-say-no.darcs.patch]:
 {{{
 class BlockPywin32Finder(object):
     def find_module(self, fullname, path=None):
         if fullname.split('.')[0] in pywin32modules:
             raise ImportError(fullname)
         return None
 sys.meta_path.insert(0, BlockPywin32Finder())
 }}}
 If 6 lines is too complicated, then dependency on another tool certainly
 is!
