[issue17639] symlinking .py files creates unexpected sys.path

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali added the comment:

> How does the test suite react if you change the order of application to resolve symlinks only after dropping the file name from the path?

Note that this will break things, see e.g.
http://bugs.python.org/issue1387483#msg186063

The only backward compatible way to handle this would be to add both
directories to sys.path, hoping that there's no module with the same
name in both directories.
