Looks like it does indeed. I wonder why I put this comment in
(now obsolete) httpdapy:

                # we could use __import__ but it can't handle packages
                exec "import " + module_name

May be it's something new with 1.5 or 1.5.2? I'm almost tempted to compile
an old Python version, but I think I'll pass.... :-)
