It's a feature, of course. :-)

I don't know of a limitation in python program names.  But you can't use
the import statement to import files that begin with a number,
have punctation, etc.

PyChecker uses the imp module which seems to handle these cases fine.  
However, PyChecker doesn't work well (ie, at all) with . in the name 
unless the . represents a package (eg, import xml.sax).

I really need to fix the package handling.  I should be able to fix
this problem at the same time.
