I question the results of the last test case above.  I get the
following:

    $ uname -a
    CYGWIN_NT-5.1 stella 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-11-10 08:34 ...

    $ python -V
    Python 2.4

    $ ls -l
    total 1
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 jt       None            6 Apr 19 08:24 bar.py -> foo.py
    -rw-r--r--    1 jt       None           24 Apr 18 20:13 foo.py

    $ python -c 'import bar'
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in ?
    ImportError: No module named bar

See my next post...
