Ok, so it turns out that the problem the cherrypy.lib.autoreload module is having, is that kid imports elementtree and on my machine the elementtree modules are inside a zip file (.egg). So the "path" to the elementtree __init__.py file is not a valid OS path because everything after the .egg file is inside the file.
Is there a quick way of determining that a module was imported from a zip file, or that a module's __file__ attribute is a valid path as far as Python is concerned, even though it doesn't exist to the OS? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
