[Python-Dev] Case sensitive import

[Dan Wolfe]

It's been suggested (eg pyCore).... and shot down.... uhh, IIRC, due to 
"millions and millions of Python developers" (thanks Tim! <wink>) who 
don't want to change their directory structures and the fact that nobody 
wanted to lose the CVS log files/do the clean up...

Alas, we gonna go around and around until we either decide to bite the 
bullet and "just do it" or allow a multitude of hacks to be put in place 
to work around the issue...

it-may-be-painful-once-but-it's-a-lot-less-painful-than-a-thousand-
times'ly yours,
