Son of a bitch. It gets worse.

If I execute the exact same code from the 'act1' directory after
running it from the 'act2' directory, it successfully loads the
'story' module... from 'act2'. Even though I used the Apache importer
to specify the EXACT LOCATION of the module to import.

'req.write(str(os.path.dirname(__file__)))' returns '/home/www/---/
docs/act1'.

'req.write(story.game.Save())' returns '/home/www/--/docs/act2/
storylab/game.pyc' as the file being accessed.

BLOODY HELL.

Okay, deep breath.

Does anyone know what's going on? Am I just not understanding how
module importing in mod_python works? I'd really appreciate help,
since I'll be stuck at work today until I can get this sorted out, and
I've long since run out of ideas.
