To make using importlib.find_loader() easier, there should be a flag that says to automatically import all parent packages for the desired submodule so as to not force the user to do it::
That way people who are okay with loading some packages implicitly to get at a specific loader can do so without having to do boilerplate name.split('.'); import each parent code. Also means people don't have to worry about the path argument (unless they explicitly want to trigger loading from a different location).

find_loader() is now deprecated and we're going to support auto-importing parent modules in find_spec() (see bpo-19944)
