Summary: Possible OSX module location bug

Initial Comment:
I have an app with a testfile 'os.py' that was designed to 
see if I was searching pythonpath properly (if it found my 
os.py, it didn't)

Running scripts from the directory containing this file 
has been working fine on Windows, BSD, Linux.

An OSX user reported an error trying to run the scripts.  
Output indicated that site.py was trying to load my 
os.py instead of the proper one.

I can't reproduce it since I don't have OSX, but if 
someone wants to try:

Create a subdirectory under site-packages
Create a dummy os.py file
Create a dummy test.py file
with this directory as the pwd, issue 'python -v test.py'

User didn't appear to have anything too funky in sys.path

Here's what he sent me before.  
Actually, '/Volumes/Other/dev/python' might be the culprit.  
I'm not sure what working directory the commands were run 
under.

I'll go ahead and forward a link to this bug to him.  Unless he 
has any input, I guess it's "Works for Me".

I tried this with all three of
- Apple's /usr/bin/python 2.2
- Python 2.3a2+ from CVS
- MacPython-OS9 2.3a2+ from CVS

None of these see os.py in the current directory. The only thing I can
imagine, because you talk about a subdirectory of site-packages, is that
the user has a .pth file in site-packages listing the subdirectory.

If this isn't the case, ask for the following:
- Complete version info (python startup banner)
- sys.path value
- output of 'python -v test.py'.
