  The "right" approach to doing this for packages would be to select
the search path this way:

    import sys
    try:
        path = __path__
    except NameError:
        path = sys.path

path will be set to the "right thing" after this, and will be a lot
faster to search if __path__ is defined (because it'll be shorter; for 
PIL, just one entry!).
