Suppose you have the following structure:

	/myproj/biz/customer.py
	/myproj/presentation/layout.py
	/myproj/data/tabular.py

and you have a module in myproj that needs to use modules in biz,
presentation, and data:

	from myproj.biz import customer
	from myproj.presentation import layout
	from myproj.data import tabular

That to me seems preferable to mucking with sys.path.
