It has been requested that I provide a traceback to the above problem. The
following traceback shows that the initial import statment is not being
executed. This differs from what I reported in my first post, where I thought
the problem was in the __init__() method.

J:\Python22\MaxPTI>MaxPTI MyTest
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 18, in ?
  File "iu.py", line 274, in importHook
