While solving this problem, is it possible also to address an issue that shows up in certain distributions? I'm specifically talking about the fact that on Redhat/Fedora, we have on x86_64 both /usr/lib/pythonxx/ and /usr/lib64/pythonxx. The former is supposed to be for non-arch specific packages (pure python) and the latter for arch-specific.
If it happens that there is: /usr/lib/pythonxxx/site-packages/mypackage/ and /usr/lib64/pythonxxx/site-packages/mypackage/subpackage This (and probably some similar variations) won't work with the current module loading algorithm. (I believe this is the issue I encountered, it was a while ago). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
