Well, I'm on a ubuntu platform, running subversion, but I can't commit
this debugging tool into the working copy where I'm using it, so I
maintain it in my home directory. The tool does use production
packages, though.
So, if I say,
$ python fapi-test.py
and fapi-test.py really is there, then it works, using the codec
production package. But if I use a symlink instead, it says
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test2", line 1, in <module>
from codec.support import *
ImportError: No module named codec.support
Python tells me Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
