Comment 3 for bug 76684

Hmm I see the problem here. The extension module being imported has to satisfy quite rigorous checks to see that it is a valid extension. However to do this it has to first be imported. And if, instead of being an importable module, it is ,say , a script then this means it gets executed. Maybe we need some sanity checking like the variable check you mention before we import.

We looked at using a different extension name but the egg system doesn't like being called anything other than .egg
