Adriano -
the only reason the subject line says "supposed bug ..." is because 
that's the subject line you chose for your initial posting to the 
Pythoncard list on this topic :-)

As you say, there definitely is a bug, and I believe it can be reliably 
reproduced (since it's Mac only, I cannot reproduce it myself, but I 
believe everyone on Mac can do so).

Something appears to have changed wrt the path that Python's sys.modules 
reports for imported files. As far as I know, no-one has yet verified 
for sure whether it is a Python bug or merely a platform-specific change 
that Pythoncard will need to adjust for. (Nor do I know how we'll be 
able to adjust - but I'm hoping that some of the PythonCard / Mac users 
are investigating ....)
