how to get os.py to use an ./ntpath.py instead of Lib/ntpath.py

In Python 2.7.2 on Windows 7, os.walk() uses isdir(), which comes from os.path, which really comes from ntpath.py, which really comes from genericpath.py I want os.walk() to use a modified isdir() on my Windows 7. Not knowing any better, it seems to me like ntpath.py would be a good place to int
