New submission from Johannes Buchner <buchner.johan...@gmx.at>:

If I have a script 
foo/bar.py
  import baz

and create a symlink to it, called barhere.py
ln -s foo/bar.py barhere.py

when I run it, it behaves unexpectedly, specifically it behaves differently 
than if I had copied it here. It prefers to import baz from foo/baz, not from 
the current folder.

Apparently Python (2.7.2-r3) handles symlinks differently than just looking at 
the content (everything is a file philosophy in UNIX).
