[mod_python] apache.import_module picks wrong module

funny, didn't notice that the last part of my e-mail was missing 
(http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2004-March/015284.html 
contains my full email)
Here is the rest of my e-mail (i was asking for help to write it 
correctly in python):

        # of arbitrary already imported modules, such as os. The
        # reason we use startswith as opposed to exact match is that
        # modules inside packages are actually in subdirectories.

        if not file or (path and not filter(file.startswith, path)):

well if I do as i did in #1, then "import \dlu\index.py" will pick 
\dlu\templates\index.py - because "\dlu\templates" really startswith "\dlu\"

problem fixed by changing path checking to following:
        file_path = file[:file.rfind('/')]
        if not file or (path and (file_path <> path)):

(if something looks not good - sorry, i am new in python)
