And don't stop trying to help. Someone will need to take over from me
when I eventually vanish off this list. :-)

BTW, same applies if what is being imported is actually a C extension
module, ie., a .so file file. The mod_python module importer, for the
directories it manages, ignores both packages and C extension modules
and will only import single file based Python code modules.
