Comment #3 on issue 822 by pekka.klarck: Cannot import two libraries with
same name using physical path
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=822
The root cause for this problem is that when module Lib is imported Python
puts it into sys.modules and finds it there when we reimport it. We've
already fixed same problem with variable files by removing the module from
sys.modules and same fix works in this case too. I will, however, first
investigate could we use execfile or some other mechanism to import the
file instead of __import__ function we currently use.
This problem only manifests itself when importing libraries using physical
paths. When you just use the library name, and the library is in
PYTHONPATH, it is natural that you always get the same library module or
class.
