This solved an obscure bug for me. In upgrading Distribute on the
server, a patch was added to has a try: import a except ImportError
thing that's only supposed to work with Python 3.3. I'm using 2.7. My
hook failed with an ImportError because of this. It seems kind of
sensible to turn off demandimport before importing the hook. I've also
submitted a patch with Distribute to make them do something less stupid:
