A solution more kind to your sensibilities might be to make an auxiliary
package alongside (rather than inside) yours. No modification to source
necessary.
pystdlib/
__init__.py
cmd.py
pdb.py
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pystdlib
>>> from pystdlib import pdb
>>> pdb.cmd.__file__
'pystdlib/cmd.py'
