I think it should.

Registration only needs to happen once, the module is useless without being registered, no threads nor processes are 
being started, and the only reason to import the module is to get the functionality... isn't it?

What about help(), sphynx (sp?), or other introspection tools?

This sounds similar to cgitb -- another module which you only import if you want the html'ized traceback, and yet it 
requires a separate cgitb.enable() call...

I change my mind, it shouldn't.

Throw in a .enable() function and call it good.  :)
