Jason, RE:
Sorry, but I cannot reproduce the above problem with the latest
snapshot:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 gelpdevjt022 1.5.15s(0.126/4/2) 20050408 16:35:04 ...
$ python -V
Python 2.4
$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jtishler Domain U 11 Apr 11 10:14 foo.py ->
/tmp/foo.py
$ python -c 'import foo'
$

That's curious, given that:
> uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ward 1.5.15s(0.126/4/2) 20050408 16:35:04 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

-rwxrwxrwx 1 ward None 34 Apr 15 15:31 foo.py

This is file foo.py.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?

HOWEVER, when I repeat your experiment more precisely:
> uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ward 1.5.15s(0.126/4/2) 20050408 16:35:04 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

lrwxrwxrwx 1 ward None 11 Apr 15 15:43 foo.py -> /tmp/foo.py
>
> python -c 'import foo'
This is file foo.py.

all seems OK. Can you try my failing experiment (symlink bar.py
to file foo.py in same directory)?
It seems using a different name for the symlink may cause
the trouble... I have no idea why.
Thanks,
Steve
