New submission from James <purplei...@gmail.com>:
Attempting to change the working directory and then import based on that change
has no effect. Import seems impossible. Attached is tarball example. As seen
below, bar1.py can import foo from src, however bar2.py bar3.py and bar4.py
cannot, despite their respective scripts changing their cwd. Below is results
of a terminal session. Thanks in advance.
ja...@hostname:~$ tree import_bug/
