Recently, I became responsible for maintaining some Python code, which
was organized as follows:
user/pylib
ui
...
project2/pylib
ui
...
project3/pylib
ui
...
python-packages/user => /user/pylib
project2 => /project2/pylib
project3 => /project3/pylib
The idea is that "python-packages" is added to sys.path and then every
project can import the library package from every other project. NOTE: I
think that this structure is crazy but I'm just the poor maintenance
programmer.
Anyway, the problem is that Windows does not have a symlink facility to
accommodate this (AFAIK) and the Python import mechanism does not
resolve shortcuts.
Therefore, I wrote a very simple import hook to get around that problem.
If you are interested, the code is here:

BTW, does anyone else think that this functionality should be part of
core Python?
Cheers,
Brian
