mh, probably I'm missing something: - is pyimport-relative only available for 2.4? - is pyimport-relative an incompatible implementation of relative imports as present in python >=2.5 ? - would it be possible to "port" to relative import as in python >= 2.5 and declare pydbgr as only available for >= 2.5 (Lenny has 2.5 as default...)?
IMHO, either use the relimp as in python >= 2.5 or don't use at all (as Piotr just suggested).
