Bug Description

Binary package hint: python2.4

See this post:

http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2007-March/021849.html

The patch referred to is here, apparently:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.4/python2.4_2.4.3-0ubuntu6.diff.gz

Catching an import error like this and so indescriminately dumping out with sys.exit is pretty evil.

This stuffs up and third party library or am that wants to test hotshot's availability by to a try: except ImportError:, of which Zope's testrunner is one such example...
