Agreed, but I wonder how much the manipulation of sys.path to do the imports
can cause threading issues... Is it possible to avoid it?

Cross platform compatibility is indeed important. To achive it people
should be told to assume multi-threaded operation: to be portable
to windows, and also to be Apache2-proof [since I understand that
it will use threads on Unix also; but it may not be a target for mod_python,
I don't know how different the API is].
