PEP 451: A ModuleSpec Type for the Import System
------------------------------------------------
:pep:`451` provides an encapsulation of the information about a module
that the import machinery will use to load it (that is, a module specification).
This helps simplify both the import implementation and several
import-related APIs. The change is also a stepping stone for `several
future import-related improvements`__.

The public-facing changes from the PEP are entirely backward-compatible.
Furthermore, they should be transparent to everyone but importer
authors. Key finder and loader methods have been deprecated, but they
will continue working. New importers should use the new methods
described in the PEP. Existing importers should be updated to implement
the new methods.
